[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1460326, member: 24302"] How much does it cost to hire, train, and retain a driver and buy and maintain his vehicle? I've pointed out repeatedly that not all addresses will be appropriate for a drone delivery. But we all have delivered a gazillion lightweight Amazon pkgs to houses in the 'burbs. Might be that Amazon will charge a premium for quick drone delivery. The rest will be delivered by their own dedicated drivers in metro areas. Outside of that would be delivered by other companies. Amazon doesn't have stores, everything is delivered. The surest way to profitability is to eliminate or reduce shipping charges. So this is a problem they will continue to attempt to solve. [/QUOTE]
