How exactly is cost going to be huge?
It'll be most likely one of the cheapest options available from Amazon's perspective.
The drones cost a few hundred bucks each, far less than even annual vehicle tax on a delivery van, let alone a van itself, and cost a few pence in electricity to make a delivery. Only drawback is it'll only be available within a limited radius around their depots and won't be available in adverse weather.
