Amazon All Set To Launch Its Drone Delivery Service

Amazon is now aware of how its drones work and can soon be allowing customers to avail the service.

Amazon Inc. previously announced that it will be taking a major step forward in making shipments and deliveries faster for its customers. The firm launched its Prime loyalty program which offers free two day shipping. Apart from this, it also came up with one hour and two hour delivery program for its Prime members which gained immense traction among the masses. The company, back then, revealed regarding its drone delivery service and it is now on the verge to launching it after completing a series of tests.

Amazon wants to own and operate its own logistics department for which it is not only running fleet of trucks but hiring cargo jets as well. It already had drone delivery service in its pipeline which was going to drop your shopping order on door steps. After proper testing and experiments, the e-commerce giant has an idea of how large and heavy its drones will be. Furthermore, they are now well aware about the weight that they can carry on drones. There will be a limited weight of the products and the customers will have to order within the limit if they wish to avail the drone delivery service.

According to the vice president of global public policy at Amazon, Paul Misener, stated in an interview that the firm will be working to deliver orders and packages within the 30 minutes of the order being placed at the online marketplace. He added that Amazon is now well aware of the drone size, the weight that it can carry, and the distance it can cover. “       The goals we've set for ourselves are: The range has to be over 10 miles. These things will weigh about 55 pounds each, but they'll be able to deliver parcels that weigh up to 5 pounds,” said Misener.

Mr. Paul Misener assured that various products that the company sells will be within the 5 pound payload limit so that customers can order tension free. The online retailer is making it on the front pages of newspaper with its objective of delivering products in one day through drone delivery service.

The Seattle based company has been very much occupied to work on this project where it can guarantee its loyal customers of faster deliveries. The Amazon Prime subscribers can now avail this service. The firm has rolled out it in some places of the United States with plans of expanding it across the country.
