I requested a refund, and the vendor had to reimburse me. I took photos and videos as proof,&#8221; one user shared.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another commenter noted that responsibility also lies with sellers, saying that poorly packed parcels are more likely to be damaged during transit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If (the parcels) are packed messily, then it&#8217;s not their issue. You need to properly package them to avoid issues,&#8221; said another user.<\/p>\n<p>AsiaOne has reached out to Lalamove for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[[nid:721772]]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/singapore\/mailto:xingying.koh@asiaone.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">xingying.koh@asiaone.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>No part of this story can be reproduced without the permission of AsiaOne<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/singapore\/no-wonder-my-items-were-broken-delivery-men-draw-flak-throwing-parcels-ground\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video showing two delivery men throwing parcels onto the ground at an unloading bay has sparked concern among netizens over how such handling could&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":45718,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45717\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/45718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
