What can drones carry?

The story mentions parcels must weigh under 5lb (about 2.2kg). This is a significant limitation, meaning only smaller, lighter items can be delivered by drone. Larger or heavier purchases, like groceries or electronics, will still require traditional delivery methods, impacting the service's overall utility.
