Couriers appeared to be sorting packages into piles
SG Follows All shared that a follower had sent them the clip, along with an accompanying note regarding the tip-off.
In the video, the three men stood around a white van filled with what appeared to be parcels.
They grabbed mailing packages from blue plastic bags and examined each one before carelessly throwing them into piles.
“Disappointed with how they handled our packages. We paid for shipping & this is the quality we get,” said the netizen who submitted the clip.
“No wonder items get damaged or dented, and it’s not the sellers’ fault. Buyers would sometimes blame the sellers for damage or dents and whatnot, but in fact, this is the reality.”
They noted that they shared the video for awareness.
Netizens express frustration over treatment of packages
Many netizens left comments about the couriers’ behaviour. One Instagram user pointed out that airline baggage handlers handle luggage the same way.
“Pay so much for ticket luggage still get thrown around,” wrote the commenter.
