The February 2015 issue of Wired magazine claims "drone-enabled deliveries are about to get off the ground." They list several sites from Russia to Australia that are planning to deliver pizzas, prescriptions, books, and other items.
I find this a bit fantastical yet. All these deliveries depend greatly on the weather, for one. Bucking a headwind can run a drone out of power before it gets to its destination. Also, what if the drone gets to its destination and some unknown recipient is there? Free pizza for somebody? This just hasn't been clearly thought through yet.
