Drones delivering you your parts/packages

[Topcat]

Guinea Pig experiments this week.


I don't see this as a good idea in certain rural areas where populations may be more dense.

Can you imagine the noise?
Like a swarm of Bee's all the time going over you.       

In sparsely populated areas: Yeah I get it, that makes more sense than send a driver way out to  BumFukt, Egypt.
Densely Wooded  areas:

As a general aviation pilot I am not very enthused about having a bunch of cargo drones buzzing around, it's bad enough worrying about birds.
Though this morning I got on the highway and was dodging a fleet of Amazon vans, damn things were everywhere!
I only order from Amazon every couple months, but the couple next door seems to be getting multiple deliveries each and every day.  If they start using drones it will get very noisy by my house.

Are they really doing trial runs of this?  I'm
not up on the news, but I would've thought we were still pretty far off from this ever coming to fruition.  Wow. 
I'm curious just how feasible this is... in many ways:
Battery life
Ability to carry the weight and in windy conditions
Rain?
Will there be pirate drones that shoot down the delivery drones and take the goods?  (Or just people on the ground with weapons.)
Would it really be faster than a truck if it has to go back and forth with just one package at a time?
Crazy.

Could give the term "porch pirates" a new meaning
