[QUOTE="JJinVA, post: 4606810, member: 80301"] I think Amazon, and UPS, will both make every attempt to make this work. But just being realistic... our center delivers a volume of about 40,000 everyday (except Mondays and Saturdays, usually pretty light). Thinking about the amount of drones necessary to deliver that kind of volume just from UPS alone, nevermind Amazon, or if FedEx manages to get into the drone delivery service, the amount of non-stop buzzing in the air from multiple company drones making multiple trips back and forth to the centers... people are going to lose their minds and start shooting them out of the sky for some peace and quiet. The people who would have it the worst would be the ones living near a facility cause they get the noise of all the drones leaving at once, and then all day long returning and going back out. And thats just one of many problems I see arising with drone delivery services. -Mechanical failures, falling out of the sky hurting and/or killing people/animals. -Strong winds like Nor-easters, hurricanes, tropical storms. -Kids with airsoft guns or real guns -Radio jammed areas near military instillations Imagine, never being able to hear a bird sing again because of the non-stop buzzing sounds of drones. The amount of complaints they are going to get in a short period of time is going to prove disastrous. [/QUOTE]
