Receiving an online delivery can sometimes be a bit of a journey.

But, no matter how frustrating it is, it’s all worth it if your items come in one piece - right?

For one Aussie, even this may not have been possible.

“At least he actually delivered it?”

An Aussie package recipient has taken to Reddit to expose a concerning act by a delivery driver.

The poster shared a video of the driver, who he said was from StarTrack, lobbing their package over the fence - thankfully it wasn’t fragile.

“From a couple weeks ago…” the poster said.

“I mean at least he actually delivered it and didn’t leave a card.”

“This is the best AusPost delivery I’ve seen”

Some commenters agreed with the poster, saying that while the situation wasn’t ideal, at least the package arrived dry and in one piece.

“Kept it out of the rain too. Bang up service,” one person said.

“Trust me, your parcel has been through a lot worst through the sorting facility, this is nothing,” another pointed out.

“Wow, a parcel not delivered to the post office but [to your] actual home? This is the best AusPost delivery I’ve seen,” a third added sarcastically.

“Honestly I wish they would do this with my deliveries instead of another failed delivery. Hope your stuff was ok though,” another agreed.

“That's insane?!”

But, for others, it wasn’t enough.

“The companies have a lot to answer for, we're paying for our shit to be delivered, not for you to squeeze every last micro efficiency out of the process. Anybody caught yeeting a package across the floor should be kicked out, not given an award for efficiency. No respect,” one person said.

“That's insane?! Imagine if it had been glass or something,” said another.

“Other than the throwing and not attempting to open the gate, the issues I have are, one, its technically exposed to weather even though it landed in non wet area from rain, and [two,] it’s visible through the gate which if isn't locked, is visible to footpath/road which isn't right,” a third pointed out.

In a statement to Kidspot, Australia Post encouraged the customer to reach out.

"We are keen to look into this matter further and encourage the customer to get in touch with us directly via our website or calling 13 POST (13 7678)," the spokesperson said.
