They have sole use of their airspace at certain times of the day, from the deck up to 100M. It's a seriously limited service, mainly over water and with pilots at both ends, plus a large ground control station with communication to air traffic control.
There is a video on our Intranet about it. I will try and break it free and post it on here.

Like lets say I buy a $7 book.... the drone delivers it....
Sure my $7 book is great, but perhaps I rather keep the $$$$ drone
Or the drone delivers the book while cutting my poor pooch spot to bloody bits.
Just seems like its going to end badly when little Timmy looses a finger :/

Until somebody figures out how to get 2 or more hours of flight time, and carry a hefty load doing it, it ain't gonna happen.
Even then, unless you live within the flight circle, how are they gonna deliver to you?

They'll ship it by another method. It's pretty simple, you live in a densely populated area, and you order something within the weight limit you'll receive it via drone. Amazon is ready to test this today. The tech is here, the regulatory environment is holding it back.
