How do drone deliveries work?

Amazon's Prime Air drones are designed for convenience, delivering small packages under 5lb directly to customers' gardens, yards, or driveways. This system aims to speed up delivery times for lighter items, bypassing traditional road transport for the 'last mile' of the journey from a local hub to your door.
