ChimiDrop is a drone roof height package receiving structure demonstrating novel solutions to issues of package drop damage, noise, aesthetic, weather, package temperature, and safety concerns related to aerial based package delivery systems. A chimney like chute can be made high enough to avoid collisions with people or pets yet still safely receive packages dropped into it from heights through the use of impact absorbing pads and a mesh box spring within the chute. Heat exchange with the building structure or active heating or cooling of the box spring mitigate snow, ice, and package temperature issues. A swing door to function as a drone unit charging platform for added distance delivery can be added to the top of the chute. A package drop box placed at human accessible height can also be added to allow the chute to dual function for traditional package deliveries.
