Moment DPD drivers hurl packages between delivery vans backed up to each other

Shocking footage has emerged showing a pair of launching packages back and forth between delivery vans.

The two were spotted in Iver, West London, transferring parcels from one van to the other, seemingly ahead of deliveries. However, any sense of care seems to be lacking, with the parcels being nonchalantly chucked from inside one van and into the other, regardless of size or fragility.

The video shows one of the , wearing a hi-vis vest, standing in between the two delivery vans watching on as his unseen colleague fires parcels over from one vehicle to the next. The parcels pass through the gap between the vans in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, being hurled with some ferocity.

One shocked bystander who watches on alongside the cameraman can be heard saying: "There's a f***ing registration number on there as well." The watching DPD employee then joins in with his colleague, picking up boxes and tossing them repeatedly into the van next to him.

The unseen worker inside the white van, then takes to throwing the parcels to his colleague, who catches them and tosses them into the back of the DPD van. Taking it as some kind of game, the employee outside the van can be seen grinning as his pal quickens the pace of his throws.

Disgusted by the actions of the staff the man recording says: "Oh big one there, throw a big one in there." Watching on and filming the workers' negligence the man laughs and then comments: "No f***s given."

As one of the parcels falls to the floor after the worker outside the van fails to catch it the man says: "Smile on his face, oh there we go, dropped." Noticing a label on one of the boxes the man filming the driver exclaims: "Fragile. Oh my god." The workers finish transferring the packages and the previously unseen employee inside the van finally steps out and shuts the doors of the van.

Footage of the incident was shared to social media yesterday with the caption: "They're dashing every box like there's no tomorrow. DPD in Iver." The clip has since received a slew of likes and comments from unimpressed Brits quick to express their distaste for the workers' practices.

One user wrote: "My iPad due to arrive in two days better not be one of these parcels." Another commented: "Yo (sic) this is crazy." A third wrote: "DPD are renowned for damaging parcels. No company I know chooses to use them. They get your package to its destination, just not in one piece." Another added: "Yo (sic) DPD what's the craic?" A fifth replied: "Mad."

DPD has been contacted for comment.
