A delivery driver is facing questions after a doorbell camera caught a package being tossed through the air rather than placed carefully at a Florida home.
Ring camera footage shared by Florida resident Nathan Pekas shows the driver walking up to the house, throwing a package onto the concrete porch, lifting a handheld device to capture a proof-of-delivery photo and then leaving as a dog can be heard howling inside.
In the video, the box hits the porch with a sharp thud before the driver takes the photo and walks off without moving the delivery to the front door.
Pekas told Storyful the package was delivered by Yun Express, a third-party carrier that handles some Amazon deliveries.

He also provided a photo that appeared to show damage to one corner of the box.
The Florida homeowner said the way the delivery was handled caught him off guard, joking that the state’s oppressive summer heat “must have been too much to make those extra two steps to the door.”
Amazon acknowledged the delivery incident in a statement given to Storyful.

“This video does not reflect the standards we have for our delivery partners, and we’re looking into this matter,” an Amazon spokesperson said.
It was not immediately clear whether the contents of the package were damaged or whether the driver remains assigned to make Amazon deliveries.
News Outlet has reached out to Amazon for additional comment.
The incident is the latest package delivery to go viral after being captured on a homeowner’s doorbell camera.
Last month, a FedEx driver in Georgia made headlines after tumbling backward into a front yard swimming pool while stepping away to take a proof-of-delivery photo.
The driver quickly laughed off the mishap, joking, “I needed that,” before climbing out of the pool and returning to the delivery route.
