E-commerce giant is working with the Federal Aviation Administration and local regulators to secure permits.
Amazon Prime customers in Lockeford, California, will start receiving package deliveries by drone later this year, Amazon announced Monday. That would make the community of 3,500 among the first U.S. locations to enjoy free drone delivery within 30 minutes — a promise that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos first made nearly a decade ago.
The e-commerce company started contacting customers in Lockeford this week to ask them to opt in to drone delivery, said Amazon spokesperson Av Zammit. Once a customer enrolls, an Amazon employee will visit to make sure their yard has enough clear space to accept drone deliveries, Zammit added. Drone delivery will be free for Prime members, and only Prime members can use the service. There will be"thousands of items available" for drone delivery, Zammit said, while declining to offer more details.
Amazon said it was working with the Federal Aviation Administration and local regulators to secure permits for the program, according to a blog"Lockeford residents will play an important role in defining the future.
