I'm sure the drones will work just as well as the Owl Post in the Harry Potter books.
Actually from a marketing point of view pretty smart idea - Bezos got a tremendous amount of free press on the eve of cyberweek and that was the main objective. Doubt very much that it is a serious idea. We are the drones.Amazon must have a fantasyland division that cooks up BS ideas like this one. Compltely idiotic.

Too many flaws in the theory. Then we come to reality where they at least double.Actually from a marketing point of view pretty smart idea - Bezos got a tremendous amount of free press on the eve of cyberweek and that was the main objective.

Bezos, just another CEO.I heard an op-ed on the Amazon "60 Minutes" piece today where they said Bezos hatched the drone "plan" in order to deflect criticism away from his sweatshop warehouses, low pay, and pending state sales taxes. It worked.
I also heard the same. All the talk radio shows were mentioning this.I heard an op-ed on the Amazon "60 Minutes" piece today where they said Bezos hatched the drone "plan" in order to deflect criticism away from his sweatshop warehouses, low pay, and pending state sales taxes. It worked.
"Sweatshop warehouses"? A true sweatshop is a worker sitting at a sewing machine for 8 hours straight at minimum wage or piece rate. Yes, the Amazon pick and packers work at a frenetic pace, but it is hardly a sweatshop.
They get paid quite well too, here they advertise for 14.50/hr. Much better than our helpers at 12.88.
$14.50/hour isn't even livable wage so I'd like to know why you consider that to be paid "quite well".

These are entry-level jobs.

Any truth to the rumor that FedEx Corporate told Amazon that they would be unable to accept any more volume during Peak?
No,
