Amazon's first drone delivery

7. Sure, some people could really use this. I agree.

But, there will have to be thousands of warehouses, stocked with every conceivable item, for those people with limited time or mobility to shop for that one light specific item. On average, how many shopping trips consist of only 5# or less of "things" ? From observing carts in the grocery store, most Americans buy at least 100# of stuff at a time. That's lots of drones back and forth. The vast majority of people in cities have little or no space for a landing and rural customers will probably be out of range of most of the warehouses. Goldilocks comes to mind. I need a specific expensive thing that's less than 5# right now and what luck I live close to a warehouse and I have a nice landing site outside and they have this item in stock. I bet the whole idea goes down in flames in a couple years.
