The retail giant had pointed ahead to the launch of itsnew delivery method back in June.

Amazon hopes to expand Prime Air to more locations in the future.

Amazon says the Prime Air drones can safely fly packages weighing up to 5 pounds.

Residents in the two towns can sign up with Amazon for the new delivery service.

Prime Air uses MK27-2 drones that have six propellers and can move through the air with minimum noise.

Installed algorithms are supposed to keep the drones from hitting obstacles such as power lines and chimneys.

“Prime Air drone deliveries to customers in Lockeford, California and College Station, Texas have started.

Our aim is to safely introduce our drones to the skies.
