Amazon has become the first retailer in the UK to roll out a local drone-based delivery service, launching some deliveries to addresses within a 7.5 mile area of its warehouse in Darlington, County Durham.
The MK30 drones, which Amazon described as its “most advanced yet”, have been buzzing across the countryside to deliver packages weighing no more than 5lb (2.2kg) and containing a range of domestic products including batteries, household cleaning items, cables and beauty products.
