Amazon Investigating After Footage of Delivery Driver Refusing to Take 'Extra Two Steps' Goes Viral
Amazon, however, has taken a dim view of the driver’s ability to hurl a package onto the concrete porch of a Florida house from several feet away, where the package bounced end-over-end until it came to rest.
Ring doorbell footage since posted to X has been viewed more than 1.8 million times.
Footage showed the woman stopping several feet short of the porch and tossing the package into the air.

But even when treating a customer’s package with disdain, it is important to remember protocol.
The driver could be seen taking the required picture of the package before sauntering away.
Nathan Pekas, who shared the video of the delivery to his Florida home, said the delivery was made by Yun Express, with which Amazon contracts, according to the New York Post.
The damaged box had one corner thoroughly smashed.
His comment on the incident was that it “must have been too much to make those extra two steps to the door.”
Amazon was not amused.
“This video does not reflect the standards we have for our delivery partners, and we’re looking into this matter,” it said in a statement.
Posts responding to the video on X noted that the Florida incident was not an isolated one.
“My favorite is the packages that have been delivered fully open and empty. I confronted one driver/delivery guy as he handed me the empty package. He said “Not my problem, wasn’t me” I asked him why he would even accept an empty package from the [Amazon] warehouse then. All rather sudden he didn’t speak englush,” a post from Tiny Tot Collection read.
“She had one simple job and failed at it, miserably. No integrity and just plain lazy. Some people are just unhirable. She should be fired, immediately!” TheAptCatalyst wrote.
“We just had a third-party Amazon delivery person steal the item from the envelope. My wife saw him coming and opened the door. He panicked and instead of talking a picture of the empty package in the porch, he handed her the empty envelope and then fled,” Roy Nathanson wrote.
The New York Post noted that as of 2024, about 85 million parcels a year are damaged.
