It comes after a delivery driver was spotted kicking a parcel into a customer's house.

Georgia Mason ordered some clothes to be delivered to her home in Sheffield - but was left furious when they arrived in an unexpected way.

What would usually be a knock and a photo taken of the parcel being received by the customer, was actually a right-footed booting into the front door.

The courier, who wasn't wearing anything to make it clear which delivery company he worked for, appeared to record himself drop-kicking the large parcel.

Meanwhile, a DPD driver "launched" a customer's PlayStation 5 and £350 fan over their 6ft fence.

The shopper watched in horror as their brand new items were thrown over the back gate - reportedly without the courier trying the front doorbell first.
