Stomper angered by workers tossing parcels

Derrick said some parcels may appear to hold clothing or soft materials, especially those that look flat.

“That said, the fact that a parcel is boxed does not mean it is not fragile,” he added.

“Not all fragile items are made of glass or labelled with a ‘Fragile’ sticker. Some items may be plastic, but they can still break upon impact.”

Derrick clarified that the workers had already begun sorting parcels when he noticed them. “In fact, the video was captured during their second round of unloading from the van,” he said.

Explaining why he stayed to observe and film the workers, Derrick told Stomp: “My intent was to record them doing the wrong thing.

“The 11-minute clip is just part of it — they were still sorting the rest of the parcels when I stopped recording.”

Derrick hopes that sharing the footage will encourage greater care by personnel handling deliveries, as he himself had received parcel boxes that were torn upon delivery.

“I hope that (online shopping platforms) will become aware of this incident and remind their third-party delivery services to exercise more care,” he said.
