Amazon is accelerating its drone delivery rollout, targeting 500 cities by year’s end with 30-minute deliveries for under-5-pound packages—primarily in suburbs to dodge urban chaos. While hundreds of thousands have already been delivered, it’s still a tiny slice of Amazon’s total volume. The tech, dreamed up over two decades, faces hurdles like weather, trees, and local approvals—even with FAA clearance for beyond-line-of-sight flights. Competitors like Walmart are also betting big on drones, though still leaning on drivers. Prime members get free drone shipping over $50; others pay. Amazon’s ultimate goal? Half a billion 30-minute deliveries annually, reshaping the fast-delivery race.
