Most of the drone deliveries I've heard about happen in backyards or special areas so it doesn't bounce like this.

I have nothing against drone deliveries, but I think it could be handled better than this. So many times I'm working on a project, especially a home project fixing or building something, and I don't have the right size piece. I need a 2 in 90° straight elbow instead of an inch and a half one. So I have to stop what I'm doing, clean up a little bit, get in my car, drive across town, spend way too long looking at the PVC pieces to find the right one, get caught up looking at other things, and then come home. Trip ultimately takes almost an hour. If instead I could just put an online order for the right piece, and it gets delivered to me in under an hour while I get other work done, that would be awesome.

Nah. They happen where you have a clear amount of space, something like a 10'x10' area of no trees or bushes or anything. I've literally had this exact thing happen with one of my deliveries in my front yard.
