Several deliverymen were shamed for their rough handling of parcels.
A video posted on June 27 by Sgfollowsall showed three delivery workers rummaging through the parcels in bags from a van at a HDB parking lot, before flinging them on the ground. One of them was seen kicking a parcel.
It is unclear where the video was taken or which company the workers belong to.
The netizen who shared the clip was disappointed with how the parcels were handled.
"We paid for shipping and this is the quality we get," the netizen said in the caption. "No wonder items get damaged or dented but it's not the sellers fault."
The video has since garnered over 300 comments and 1,700 shares on Instagram.
Several netizens in the comments were left angered by the workers' actions.
"They clearly don't want this job," one of them said, while another added that online shopping platforms should ban these workers from delivering parcels.
But others defended the delivery workers for "doing their job".
"Hence why packaging well is important. Did you think all delivery personnel handle them with extra care? They can't afford the time with so many packages and so little pay," one of them said.
Another netizen challenged the person who took the video to help the workers sort the parcels instead.
"Then he will understand that time is limited," he said.
