Just a couple:
a) they'll be used as target practice
b) they'll be pounced upon as soon as they touch down, either by dogs or chavs

The way some people on here criticize their mail delivery by the Royal Mail, I was under the impression that drones were already delivering items in the UK:)

Waterstones have gone one better with an environmental friendly Owl delivery service. The next you'll hear is Christmas presents being delivered by reindeer.

Amazon have a reputation for being one of the most visionary (and cut-throat!) retailers in the online space so I wouldn't dismiss anything they have an eye on out of hand.

Currently use of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles) is very restricted at present both in the UK and US, the two main objections are safety and privacy issues (i.e. on-board cameras) but a lot or work and legislation is being done to address these and it does seem like it may be a reality someday.

Probably not the best thing to announce given a helicopter is being dug out of a pub.
