Shocking video shows courier workers carelessly chucking packages into a van.
Billy Harris was shocked to look out his window in Retford, Nottinghamshire, earlier this month to see the reckless pair lobbing parcels into the back of the van.
The 17-year-old says he watched the driver launching an array of packages through the air and into the van for around 20 minutes, including what appeared to be a TV.
The shocking video shows two men, whom Billy claims were working for Yodel, standing next to a large white van.
The sliding door to the back of the van is open and both men take turns in picking parcels from a pile on the ground and slinging them far into the back of the vehicle.
Billy shared the video to Twitter that day, writing: “Yo @YodelOnline what’s this? That’s people’s Christmas presents.”
Speaking today, Billy said: “The video was filmed on November 2nd and had gone on for about 15-20 minutes before I started filming.
“All sorts of packages were thrown including what looked to be a TV, which had previously fallen out of the van and landed on the concrete floor.
“My initial reaction was honestly pure shock. Imagine if that was your Christmas gift there, I was utterly disgusted.”
This is not the first time that a courier service has come under scrutiny for its parcel handling.
Shocking footage previously surfaced of a Yodel driver “masquerading” as he launched a parcel over a large gate without knocking to see if anyone could receive the parcel.
Just last year another Yodel courier was caught on CCTV writing off a £29,000 car after reversing into it “at speed” and “failing to leave his details”.
Last month a Hermes worker was suspended after he was filmed lobbing parcels into the back of his van.
