Delivery couriers in S'pore seen hurling parcels to ground in frustration
They were seen with a huge pile of packages strewn on the road.
A video posted on Instagram on October 22 has shown two delivery couriers for J&T Express throwing parcels onto the ground, causing outrage among netizens. The couriers, dressed in red, white, and grey uniforms, were seen standing next to a van with a large pile of parcels scattered on the road. They were observed handling the parcels by examining their labels before tossing them onto the ground.
One courier flung several parcels several meters away, while the other grew visibly upset and threw a parcel forcefully at the ground. Their raised voices suggested frustration. The incident sparked criticism and anger, with some users speculating that they were looking for a specific parcel that might have gone missing. Others pointed out that while delivery work can be tiring, it does not justify the forceful handling of the parcels.
J&T Express has acknowledged the incident and stated that they have taken disciplinary action against the involved personnel. They are tracing the parcels and will contact affected customers directly. Customers with concerns are urged to contact the company through email or social media. The courier company emphasized that they take the proper handling of parcels seriously and apologized for the incident.
