In some embodiments, methods and systems of delivering products from a first location to at least a second location include at least one unmanned aerial vehicle configured to transport at least one of the products from the first location to the second location along a predetermined route and at least one mobile relay station including at least one charging dock and configured to accommodate and charge the at least one unmanned aerial vehicle. A central computing device including a processor-based control circuit is configured to communicate with the unmanned aerial vehicle and the mobile relay station via a network. The mobile relay station is configured to move into a position on the predetermined route of the unmanned aerial vehicle to permit the unmanned aerial vehicle to land on the mobile relay station that is moved into the predetermined route of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
