I think they were going to use drones for dropping off beer at Oppiekoppie this 
year.

Interestingly enough, Amazon was not the first to come up with the idea of 
drone delivery agents:

Amazon isn't the first company to experiment delivery by drones. In fact, over 
the last year, several companies beat Amazon to the punch with very similar 
services testing carrying tacos, pizzas and packages by multi-rotor crafts.

Word is that Amazon timed it's reveal so that it could get $3m dollars worth of 
free advertising on CBS' network.  Great move IMO.
The other big news is that Amazon is slowly starting  to automate it's entire 
logistics business.
