I think it would be just too easy to shoot it down and take your stuff. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

I live out in the country and I doubt I'll ever see it! It would be interesting though!

Well, given the way the amazon deliveries are thrown on my stoop some days, it may be better than some drivers. However, I am not really of a fan of the idea. Ana

I agree that it would be interesting, but I can't see it being very practical in the long run; at least not for everything.
Life's a puzzle; one piece at a time.

Thanks for your input everyone. Draclvr, I would think you would be among the first to see it, being out in the country. By my house, I can see packages stuck in trees and on roofs, hitting people on the head, or landing in dog poop that nobody cleaned up. Ana, I don't care for the Amazon drivers. I really prefer FedEx, UPS, or USPS, although FedEx threw an (unexpected) envelope on my porch one day without ringing the bell. Fortunately, my brother found it as it was a rather important piece of mail. I'd rather wait a day or two for my deliveries. I read that Walmart is looking into this also, as they are trying to compete with Amazon.

Same here, Marian. All Amazon deliveries are by UPS. My drivers are super nice and put my boxes in the garage for me. I also get all the package deliveries for Longmeadow, the horse rescue down the road. The UPS route normally comes by here late in the day and their big electronic gates close at 4:30. So I get all their deliveries here and run them down. It's worked out well because they can even order vaccines which are temperature sensitive on-line. He delivered two large boxes with two 5-gallon jugs of fly spray and moved them right from his dolly to the back of my truck last week. So I get a lot of deliveries here and my regular driver is the best.
