Subject: RE: Tractor Parts


Middlesex County, Ontario
I don't foresee tractor part delivery happening by drone until the drone delivery industry is very, very mature. If it happens at all.

The drone delivery concept works when you have an Amazon warehouse in a large metropolitan area shipping our small and lightweight packages. They keys here are short distances, light weight packages, and large number of shipments.

- Tractor parts are a very small subsection of things that are delivered.
- Retail outlets for tractor parts are small when compared to something like wal mart or Amazon. Its too big of investment for a small company.
- Tractor part warehouses are located too far from their customers. Its not an Amazon warehouse on the outskirts of a large metropolitan area. Its Shoup half way across the country.
- Tractor parts are very heavy.

Would I use drone delivery? I do not care one bit HOW my package gets here. I care about WHEN it gets here.
