Ask HN: What happened to drone delivery service?
This mini-documentary explains it pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-M98KLgaUUTL;DW: No-fly zones, costs, and drones not being intelligent enough to detect where they are going to drop off packages. It is cheaper and easier to do the last mile via traditional methods than dealing with all the risks and limitations of flying.

I'm guessing the video on drone delivery was this video by Wendover Productions?

They also have a more recent video on general drone delivery:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-M98KLgaUU
It was really interesting to watch. General idea discusses the problems it faced in the US in seemingly optimal circumstances (airspace restrictions, density, existing delivery networks) and how it does live and help out in other places, highlighting zipline as an example.
