"This is just the beginning of our expansion of improved delivery options, but it's a significant milestone in the way we're serving customers," said Mark Holifield, executive vice president of supply chain and product development.

Car and van providers Roadie and Deliv will deliver the smaller items.

Home Depot plans to continue expanding its supply chain network including a possible 100 new distribution sites.
