Australia Post has reached out to a customer after video emerged on social media of a driver throwing a package over a garden fence.
Video posted to Reddit shows the delivery driver showing up at the front of the property in an unknown Australian suburb, before it is then thrown over the fence.
The driver then appears to write something on his PDA or phone and then walks away.
The Redditor said the event had taken place two weeks ago and captioned it "I mean at least he actually delivered it and didn't leave a card."
Comments were divided, with some calling the driver's handiwork "the best" they had ever seen.
'Trust me, your parcel has been through a lot worst through the sorting facility, this is nothing,' one wrote.
'Wow, a parcel not delivered to the post office but [to your] actual home? This is the best AusPost delivery I've seen,' a third added sarcastically.
'Honestly I wish they would do this with my deliveries instead of another failed delivery. Hope your stuff was ok though,' another agreed.
Other commentators shared their displeasure at what they had seen.
'The companies have a lot to answer for, we're paying for our s**t [EXPLETIVE] to be delivered, not for you to squeeze every last micro efficiency out of the process. Anybody caught yeeting a package across the floor should be kicked out, not given an award for efficiency. No respect,' one person said.
'That's insane?! Imagine if it had been glass or something,' said another.
While the driver's employer was not clear from the footage, Australia Post commented on the post, saying they wanted the customer to reach out to them to deliver feedback on the delivery.
'We are keen to look into this matter further and encourage the customer to get in touch with us directly via our website or calling 13 POST (13 7678)," the spokesperson said.
