Amazon is now using drones to deliver packages in Darlington, UK. This is the first time a shop in the UK uses drones for deliveries.
The drones can carry small packages. They fly to people's homes and drop the boxes in their gardens. The packages arrive in about two hours.
Rob Shield was one of the first people to try it. He ordered many things like pens, paper, and chocolate. He says it was fun to watch the drone come. Now he orders things he needs quickly, like tape measures. Other people in Darlington are not sure about drones. Some want a person to give them their package, not a machine.
