• selecting and/or accepting, by the customer using the customer interface, a drop zone location;
• at a base location, placing the product within a packaging configured to be transported by the drone, wherein the drop zone location and the base location are different locations;
• wherein the product including the packaging is less than 2 pounds;
• at the base location, securing the packaging to the drone, wherein the drone is configured to release the packaging by a release mechanism, the release mechanism at least partially attached to the drone;
• flying the drone, either manually from the base location and/or autonomously using a global positioning system, carrying the packaging with the product from the base location to the drop zone location;
• hovering the drone at a predetermined height above the drop zone location;
• wherein the predetermined height is at least 10 feet;
• confirming with the customer to release the product;
• releasing the packaging by the release mechanism allowing the packaging with the product to drop down from the predetermined height to a ground level;
• and
• flying the drone back to the base location to repeat the method of delivering goods.
