Furious woman films Australia Post delivery drivers sorting through parcels in a PARK – but is hit with backlash for complaining
- Queensland woman’s complaint about Australia Post workers cops backlash
- She uploaded footage of the workers sorting parcels on a lawn on Facebook
- The woman said she was ‘disgusted’ but Facebook users defended the workers
A woman’s complaint about a pair of Australia Post delivery drivers has sensationally backfired after she copped backlash online for her scathing post.
The Queensland woman uploaded a video to the Australia Post Complaints Facebook group on Thursday showing the driver’s sort through packages on a patch of grass.
Alongside the footage she furiously wrote: ‘I am disgusted with the lack of care these guys plus four other vans treated peoples parcels.’
A disgruntled Australia Post customer’s complaint over two workers sorting parcels on a lawn (pictured) has sensationally backfired on social media
‘They drove up, stood in the vans and threw all the packages from inside the van onto the grass, then scanned them and jammed them up to the roof of a couple of vans, couldn’t even see out of the back window at all,’ she continued.
‘No regards for people’s property. I don’t think sorting parcels by throwing them onto the grass in a park is quite what we expect to be Aust Post/or their couriers who act on their behalf standards. Totally substandard.’
The woman added she had sent the footage to Australia Post, disgruntled that she was still waiting on a package from December.
But her grievance against Australia Post backfired when social media users told the woman to ‘get a grip’.
‘I think we have different definitions of ‘throwing’. Would you rather them gently chuck them on the grass or on the cement in the warehouse? Get a grip,’ wrote one person.
‘There’s nothing wrong here, they’re not chucking parcels. The guys are organising their runs. Stop finding things to complain about,’ commented another.
The woman was slammed by Facebook users who defended the workers saying they did nothing wrong
Australia post reminded customers to treat drivers with respect as staff are working extra hard during the pandemic to deliver packages to customers.
‘Our team members continue to work hard under difficult circumstances to get mail and parcels to their destination as quickly and safely as possible,’ it told Daily Mail Australia.
‘We kindly ask customers to treat them with respect and to contact us if they have concerns so we can provide help and support.’
Australia post has been plagued with delivery delays after it recorded its busiest month in August with Aussies making thousands of purchases while in lockdown.
In September it was forced to suspend all Parcel Post collections from online retailers in NSW, the ACT and Victoria for up to four days to clear backlogged orders.
The postal giant saw no relief when major sales events like Click Frenzy, Black Friday and Cyber Monday spurred sales into the Christmas period.
