An Amazon delivery man was caught by a home security camera spitting on a package and smearing the saliva on the box with his hand.

They stated that the worker was from a third party delivery service and had been reported, but there’s a chance he could still be sent back to work. The same neighbour also responded to the delivery inquiry on the Amazon app with a photo of the package, which clearly shows some sort of liquid smeared on it. “We have high standards for delivery service partners and expect every package to be handled with care,” an Amazon spokesperson said. “We’ve notified the right teams internally and will work with the customer directly on matters related to their package delivery.”
