I don't see this as the norm for the near future. You'd need a network of automated drones flying with anti-collision, even more expensive if you need a pilot for each one. As mentioned in the thread, if Amazon needs to have more facilities located in more places plus pilots, it would negate their advantage of just having regional shipping centers. The question is not is this technical feasible, but is it cost effective?
Yea I get excited enough when I see arriving tomorrow is ordered in hh mm ss. Although I wouldn't mind that fast if the cost wasn't too much more.

Or send up their own drones for some air to air combat.
LOL Dr Evil will buy out UPS and have a secret underground lair to send out anti amazon drone drones.

As much as I love this idea, I don't know how it would work. I actually bought a drone last week for the company to take aerial photos.

Can you imagine 100s of drones flying around and coming down without notice even at slow speed?
I'd be looking for Dr Robotnik
