Does Amazon keep sending new ones? How do the drones deliver to apartment buildings or any address that does not have a lawn? Would return service work the same way? I love the product, but a little disappointed by the limited FAQ section.

I expect that, if the service is moderately successful, buildings will quickly adapt somehow (roof landing pads, "drone flaps" etc).

I guess some of the answers related to actual Amazon policy will be clarified whenever the service actually starts (i.e. 2015 at the least).
