Drone Delivery? Sign me up!
Let's see. How to design the perfect delivery service.
a) Only deliver between 9 and 5, when no-one will be home.
b) Insist on a signature, but accept a scribble from any semi-sentient being that happens by, with no thought to their actual identity.
c) If no-one is home to accept delivery, attempt again the next day, at the same time.
d) If your company has a nearby retail outlet, refuse to drop the parcel there for pickup, because "only the recipient is allowed to sign for it."
e) Or just return the parcel to the courier depot an hour away at back of the airport.
The sole saving grace for United Parcel Service is our local driver, who cheerfully bends or breaks UPS rules when it helps the customer.
