Apparently, there are pilot trials of having the online weekly shop dropped off via drones.

Hmmm, might not work well if there are eggs in the order.

Or the local Porch Pirate is on the lookout and sees your delivery whizzing past their kitchen window, notes which address it lands at and sprints to your front door quicker than you.

I'm on the fence about this. I like the idea of getting even quicker deliveries, but if it tastes off ( no pun intended) then it would mean a lot of delivery drivers out of work.

I saw Amazon was trialling delivery of items under 2.2kg in weight, but nothing on weekly shops mae13.
Was this in the UK?
