You can get it right here.
Of course, the package needs to be under 5 lbs.

They are putting a lot of hope in technology that is currently illegal for this sort of thing.  Having a company like Amazon behind it might help, but I suspect it will be a major fight.  Currently it is illegal to use drones commercially.  Six states will be chosen for a pilot program for implementing various commercial usage.  This may include a special license amd other things that may make it a very non-cost effective method.

Apart from the legal battles of implementing this, what's to stop someone from doing this:
 
"If one comes over my field I'll shoot it out of the sky a grab the goodies (as well as the drone)!!"
 
This is surely going to open up a can of worms.....

It's a cool idea but I can't see it working out.
 
I remember..."you're gonna have to give up the spaceship baby, you done landed on Mr. Gilmours' property".

With all those exposed sharp blades, what could possibly go wrong?
 
(Hey, if I order a drone, will it deliver itself???)

My first thought was the drones would become a skeet shoot, with prizes.

Poo! They actually think they should be allowed to do this. Perhaps they should follow the roads.

Now invading air space!

3.5" Mags with buckshot aught to do it. Two drones and we could do hi and low house.
