Only one item can be delivered at a time. It can’t weigh more than 5 pounds. It can’t be too big. It can’t be something breakable, since the drone drops it from 12 feet. The drones can’t fly when it is too hot or too windy or too rainy.

You need to be home to put out the landing target and to make sure that a porch pirate doesn’t make off with your item or that it doesn’t roll into the street (which happened once to Lord and Silverman). But your car can’t be in the driveway. Letting the drone land in the backyard would avoid some of these problems, but not if there are trees.

Amazon has also warned customers that drone delivery is unavailable during periods of high demand for drone delivery.

    Yeah so you will need to to take a class for a few days. So so burdensome. You can get an employer to sponsor the few hundred dollars or put it on credit. It isn’t a lot of money you are talking about here.

    Trucking could be automated one day but not tomorrow.

    Just a fyi, people like it when you answer questions they ask instead of whining. I asked you a question and I noticed you didn’t answer it. You will observe that I have answered all of your questions.
