The new design for Prime Air’s delivery drone
It's remarkable to consider how far Amazon's drone delivery efforts have come in 7 years.
Like, has the USPS even launched a single drone delivery??
@chrismessina hah, the USPS can barely manage to get my company's mail sent out to customers on time. Doesn't matter if it's been upgraded to their "priority" or "express mail"service, tracking and the whole nine yards...they consistently underperform and the last 2-3 years have been especially bad. We've actually switched to doing shipping almost entirely through FedEx now for things that are under a certain weight (FedEx can get a bit costly), and UPS for heavier stuff, sometimes DHL (this is domestically).
Unfortunately this means passing on these extra costs to our clients but it's better than having to deal with disgruntled callers wondering why the tracking details on their order says one thing but it hasn't updated in 4 days and they paid to have it overnighted, etc.
I look forward to the rumors of Amazon soon offering more traditional package/mail delivery services being true, if it is, they are certainly going to get a lot of my business which is mostly city-to-city within a certain region of the US which would be perfect for what they're likely to offer.
