Right now, Raptopoulos says the advantage Matternet and UPS are offering is speed rather than price. The service is offered via an annual subscription. For the typical customer, who uses it for an average of 10 deliveries a day, the cost works out to be roughly the same as what they’d spend on express ground couriers to perform the same job, Raptopoulos says. Switching over to the docking station system should allow a reduction in costs of 66% to 75%, he says.
