Tuesday 13 October 2015 00:24 CET | News

Singapore Post has launched a parcel shipping service to customers via delivery drones.

The firm flew a package containing a t-shirt and letter from an industrial estate on the main island to Pulau Ubin - a nearby smaller island, bbc.com reports.

The company has described it as the first step towards regular final-mile drop-offs by drone. But it acknowledges there are still technical and safety issues to be solved.
