Can't see that being free delivery

I would think that it would only be available for Amazon Prime customers.

Kind of reminds me of that 'drone' in the Judge Dredd Film with Sylvester Stallone in.

It sounds awesome, but I really don't know if this could work for such a huge company.

Do you think customers would be worried about them being safe?

Fancy writing a great device review or O2 forum guide? Send me a message!

Did anyone catch the recent Tv documentary about working life in the Amazon Warehouses ?

Amazon Prime is a complete waste of money IMO, cos contrary to what they tell you is actually does not guarantee 1 day deliveries, my last 2 out of 3 orders on Amazon using Prime have turned up a day late, dispatched Sunday, advertised delivery before 1 PM on Tuesday, items did not turn up till |Wednesday.

Not acceptable IMO, I mean OK Royal Fail mess up at the best of times, and they're extremely busy this time of year but come on, 3 days for a first class delivery?!

If Amazon is still using Yodel to deliver stuff, no wonder it arrives late or damaged. Ordered few times from Amazon whilst on free Prime trial and my orders never arrived on time!

So cancelled my membership and avoiding companies using Yodel.

Royal Mail is pretty decent where I live, first class takes 1-2 days each time to arrive

Yes. Doesn't look to be a very healthy environment to work in. Amazon doesn't like negative publicity, so I would hope they would react to it in a positive way.
