A delivery driver is under scrutiny after a doorbell camera captured a package sailing through the air instead of being carefully delivered.
Ring camera video shared by Florida resident Nathan Pekas shows the driver approaching the home, hurling a package onto the concrete porch, raising a handheld device to take a proof-of-delivery photo and then walking away as a dog howls from inside the house.
The box lands with a loud thud in the video before the driver snaps the photo and leaves without placing the package at the front door.
Pekas told Storyful that the package was delivered by Yun Express, a third-party carrier used for some Amazon deliveries.

He also shared a photo showing what appeared to be damage to one corner of the box.
The Florida resident said he was surprised by the driver’s handling of the delivery, joking that the state’s sweltering summer heat “must have been too much to make those extra two steps to the door.”
Amazon acknowledged the incident in a statement provided to Storyful.

“This video does not reflect the standards we have for our delivery partners and we’re looking into this matter,” an Amazon spokesperson said.
It was not immediately clear whether the contents of the package were damaged or whether the driver remains assigned to make Amazon deliveries.
Digital has reached out to Amazon for additional comment.

The incident is the latest package delivery to go viral after being captured on a homeowner’s doorbell camera.
Last month, a FedEx driver in Georgia made headlines after tumbling backward into a front yard swimming pool while stepping away to take a proof-of-delivery photo.
The driver quickly laughed off the mishap, joking, “I needed that,” before climbing out of the pool and returning to the delivery route.
