Amazon Orders Delivered By Drone To Customers In Lockeford

On Monday, Amazon said that it expects Amazon orders to be delivered by drone to customers in Lockeford, California later this year. The drone delivery service is called Amazon Prime Air and will be free of charge.

Customers in Lockeford who shop on Amazon will be the first in the country to have the option of having their items delivered to their homes by a drone when the feature is rolled out.

“Lockeford residents will play an important role in defining the future,” reads a statement from Amazon. “Their feedback about Prime Air, with drones delivering packages in their backyards, will help us create a service that will safely scale to meet the needs of customers everywhere.”
