When l watched and read this item, doesn't surprise me one bit.
Most delivery drivers now are sub contracted out now on a multi drop deal, so the more deliveries you make, the more money you earn.
I have had parcels thrown over our garden fence, parcels thrown onto our doorstep, and the driver walk away without a signature. Then find the contents broken.
I stopped being a delivery driver some ten years ago, as the pressure put on me to finish deliveries 5pm was near impossible.
I started at 6.00am in Woolwich, where my depot was, and had to deliver to approx. 60 locations finishing in Gloucester and then head home to Twickenham and then start again at 6.
I delivered wine, and you drove the full length of the UK. And most of the time you left it on a bin, or even dropped inside someone's garden - at the request of the transport manager.
And with Xmas now upon us, delivery companies will go full speed to deliver goods, no matter how - as long as you get a signature, that's all they care about
