We have about 400 pigs in blankets that have to be used by today so we're cooking them and bringing them with us, hope that's alright. We're going to be sweating pigs at the new year discos!!

mjmooney Posted December 31, 2016 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 31, 2016 I wonder whether Amazon et al ever will actually use drones and robot vehicles to deliver stuff? I can't see it being practicable myself - too many things to go wrong. Breakdowns, vandalism, opportunistic theft, etc. Then again, I predicted mobile phones would never catch on, due to the necessity for so many masts, so what do I know.

I can't see it being practicable myself - too many things to go wrong. Breakdowns, vandalism, opportunistic theft, etc. They're serious about it, I'll give them that. A colleague at work left to go and work for them on exactly that. There are major problems with being permitted by the authorities to actually do it, though as well as the technical hurdles. I think they've been permitted to do a trial, which was said to have worked, but they're a long way away from running regular deliveries in the UK. Give it 10 years, though and maybe there will be some element of automated drone delivery, but still very small scale. While there is a climate of fear of terrorism, flying things around towns and cities, carrying potentially large payloads is not going to, er, take-off. Mobile Phones, though. They might catch on.

HanoiVillan Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm busy making a 'voodoo warehouse'. That way, when my flight is felled by one of their drones, and I crash in a blazing fireball into central London, I will be able to effectively curse them with my dying breath.

V01 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Their latest plan is to have a number of "carrier warehouses" from which drones will complete all the deliveries. They either loved the Avengers movies or are secretly HYDRA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get my amazon stuff delivered to my office , i even have the company name on my Amazon address to make life easier for them .... about 50% of my deliveries go to a home address about 400 yards up the road I emailed Amazon to say as this is costing you a fortune ( the wrong recipient always keeps the parcels and never brings them over ) put a note on your files that we are the office behind the huge great black gate and not a small flat 400 yards up the road they replied to say if you have any special deliver requests for leaving safe you can put them on each order when you make it I tried. ... end of the day it's not my money being wasted .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Amazon regularly allow my parcels to be 'signed' for by a person who doesn't give a name or address. I've even had stuff signed for by builders or contractors working across the street. It's amazing how quickly they just decided to send a replacement out.
