I would like to point out that all retail stores really are "small warehouses" with registers to handle purchases. 1) It's not that expensive to send a Semi filled with goods several times a day to a small warehouse, again that's the norm.. not the exception in retail. 2) Packages are already being delivered from "small warehouses" with all Amazon orders - every city has UPS/Fedex/USPS distribution warehouses that split the big trucks into smaller trucks that then drive to you. Amazon is trying to use the drones to replace the delivery drivers. Compromise that's doable with today's tech - Amazon could utilize a network of Amazon Lockers in outdoor public places and have the drones deliver the packages to an opening in the top of the locker which the locker then takes and loads into the right slot. The customers can then pickup the packages at their leisure like any other Amazon Locker. The drones would not need to deliver to every location, just the preset lockers which would be in areas with safe and easy access for the drones.
