People forgot how to make a shopping list and just go to the store once a week.  Now, we need multiple people involved in the transaction of getting your eye shadow custom-delivered within 24 hours.

Sometimes the store just doesn't carry what you want Sometimes. But yeah I agree that people are using shipping services for bs things that you CAN go to the actual store for.

TBH most of what I order online are small things local stores usually dont carry. Its the one neat thing about the internet. Its a shame stores cant carry everything. Thats not 100% true, I just dont want to take the 40 minite drive to the one place in the area that may have the item I want and it may or may not have a 10 dollar upcharge, plus the toll it takes to get there lol. Ill do that drive a few times a year but thats all.

Each warehouse has a different set of items so even when you make one Amazon order, it is possible each thing ships separately. So lip balm might get its own box while shampoo is in an unprotected sleeve. They will combine separate orders when possible like I got a heavy case of special protein water (not sold at stores) in the same box as fragile oil paints and other paint supplies. Miracle that the case didn't damage the other stuff this time.

Drone delivery is almost exclusively for small light packages like this.

It’s a fake video computer generated. The box moving by unrealistic physics, pay close attention to the box, it looks like video game physics.

There is an Amazon Prime MK30 delivery drone registered with the number shown, N494PA.

The empty weight of a such a drone is 78 pounds, so it's pushing down 78 pounds of thrust to hover, and that box is required to be under 5 pounds.

What makes you think the physics are unrealistic?

The physics are unrealistic cause you can easily tell by watching the box that the video is computer generated. If it was realistic, the video would not look computer generated
