The event, originally scheduled for Tuesday, will now be held on Friday morning at the company's Centerville, Ohio, location. A drone developed by fellow Dayton company Drone Express will fly a part to the store from a Winsupply hub in Miamisburg, located about three miles away.

The company said the event will mark the beginning of Winsupply "consistently delivering a wide range of products weighing under five pounds" from the Miamisburg location.
