Amazon already does same-day delivery in more areas than you're likely to see drone-delivery in the next 5-10 years.

In most places, the fancy technology has zero advantage over employing a handful of couriers. Exceptions would include extreme geography or traffic conditions.

Straight line delivery and Amazons ability to mark a job finished more quickly are both valuable in any area.
