Meh, that seems a bit like complaining the guy who lives next to the post office gets his mail earlier. Amazon already had to build distribution centers near major markets - might as well deliver faster if it's possible anyways.


One of those distribution centers is on the outskirts of Reno/Sparks, yet Reno is not included in this for whatever reason.


Not enough people to make it worth hiring the fleet of delivery people.


Over 225,000 people (which is destined to grow as the job market continues to expand; Tesla's Gigafactory is one of several potential sources of employment within the next half-decade), and they already hire a boatload of Reno residents for the distribution center there; hiring a handful of delivery people and picking up a few more delivery trucks would be a drop in the bucket for them.

Oh well. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before drone deliveries become the norm.
