Moment Amazon courier hurls parcel from van window – then takes picture of damaged package as ‘proof’ of delivery

A Doncaster customer says an Amazon courier threw a parcel from his van onto her porch, then photographed it on the ground as proof of delivery. The incident matters because the parcel was left accessible to passers-by and the two gift boxes inside were damaged.

Michelle, who runs the spiritual reading firm Minithemedium, said the delivery took place on Sunday in Scawsby. Amazon offered a refund but its customer service representative did not clarify whether the delivery met the company’s standards. The article cites estimates that more than £600 million of parcels were stolen from doorsteps in 2025, while 4.2 billion parcels were sent and received in the UK in 2024.
