Amazon Driver Throws 6 Packages, Sparking Debate After Viral 230,000-View Video

3 articles · Updated · dailydot.com · Jun 29

Summary

  • TikTok footage with more than 230,000 views shows an Amazon driver tossing six packages onto a customer's doorstep after struggling to carry them and calling them “ridiculously heavy.”
  • The customer said the recurring monthly order weighed 30.7 pounds in total—mostly drinks for her autistic son—and said she was more worried about the driver's health than the delivery itself.
  • In the video, the driver repeatedly stopped to breathe, scanned each box after dropping it, kicked away the yellow bag and then leaned against the wall before limping off.
  • Comments on TikTok and X split between blaming the worker's fitness and criticizing Amazon for not providing proper tools such as a hand dolly for heavier multi-box deliveries.
