Video Shows Amazon Delivery Drone Dropping Package Directly Onto Concrete, Smashing Its Delicate Contents

Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech

Over the past few months, Amazon has been rapidly deploying its Prime delivery drones to cities across the US, from Arizona to Florida.

The drones promise to enable the delivery of small parcels to suburbanites in under two hours, for a modest fee of $4.99. But as more and more videos are starting to show, they might also be delivering a lot of broken glass.

In one clip, teacher-turned-influencer Tamara Hancock explores what happens if you order something fragile. In the comments under a previous video about Amazon drone delivery that shows the drones dropping cargo from a surprising height, the “number one question is, what if [I order] something fragile?” Hancock says in her latest.

To test it, she bought a container of blue raspberry syrup, to be delivered by drone. She notes that the bottle could be plastic or glass, but since “it does drop from 10 feet in the air,” it could go bust either way.

After Hancock waits an hour or so for the drone to descend, the moment arrives and the drone plops Hancock’s syrup directly onto the concrete, which isn’t a good sign.

“It’s definitely broken,” the influencer observes as she surveys the damage, a sticky mess of blue raspberry ooze. The bottle ended up being plastic, so if that can’t survive, it’s extremely unlikely a glass one will.

“We’ve invested in purpose-built packaging specifically engineered to protect items throughout the flight and during the final delivery to the customer,” an Amazon spokesperson told us. “We apologized to the customer for the inconvenience this caused and, in the rare instances when products don’t arrive as expected, we make it right. We continuously take learnings from incidents like this to improve the delivery experience for customers and the community.”

Hancock’s clip isn’t the only one making the rounds. Take another delivery captured just a few days ago, showing a hulking white-and-blue drone descend down beneath the treeline, not unlike a dog trying to do its business.

Unlike a dog, the Prime drone keeps a healthy distance of 10 feet away from the ground at all times. When it drops it load — which plops out of a compartment on the thing’s underside — the package tumbles all the way down to the ground, rolling a little on impact.

This seems to be the norm for most Amazon drone deliveries (for an added bonus, the powerful drone propellers will even stir up your yard, kicking up any loose leaves or debris you forgot to rake up.)

As Hancock puts it in her video: “should you order it by drone? I guess it depends on how badly you need it.”

Updated with comment from Amazon and to remove a reference to a city where Amazon is not currently testing its drones.
