Drone deliveries? Could soon become reality

"A lot of retail chains would like to offer the same-day delivery. There are some companies that already use such delivery option," said Adam Tomczak, the chairman of the board at X-press Couriers. "If only European regulations allow for using drones in deliveries, such services will emerge very fast, in a year or two," he adds.
It does not really matter, if the product is small or big , the same-day delivery is very popular among different merchants, if only the customer knows that such an option exists. We are happy that our competitors are thinking about such options, as it will contribute to greater customer awareness. The first entrants to the market will gain really large competitive advantage over their competitors. Online retailers should believe that same-day-delivery can give them competitive advantage. The customer should also be aware of the fact that an online store offers such service and that its price is affordable. The customer should know that he or she can expect a product to be delivered not the next day after ordering it, but the very same day, within hours. We inform the recipients when exactly their parcel will be delivered, for example in between 4 pm and 6 pm, or 8pm and 10 p.m. It is important for online customers that a product is delivered very quickly and at a low price. Currently they are available in China, while a year ago such option was not legitimate at all. If only European regulations allow for using drones in deliveries, such services will emerge very fast, in a year or two. Google, Amazon, Alibaba and UPS are all interested in using drones for their deliveries, although nobody speaks about costs. It cannot be expensive for customers. If it is expensive, it will be a niche and niches are not profitable for anyone. So if drone deliveries will be too expensive, they will not be implemented.
