Postal service apologizes after worker hurls packages over fence of Florida home

FLORIDA CITY, Fla. (STORYFUL) -- A United States Postal Service (USPS) employee was seen on home-surveillance video throwing packages over the fence of a home in Florida City, Florida, on June 11th.

Footage shared by Andres Gonzalez shows an employee approaching the house and throwing a large box.

“There it go,” the employee says after hurling the package.

Additional footage shows the employee delivering another package. In the video, she scans the package label and steps out of frame. A thud can be heard shortly after. Footage from a different angle shows the woman tossing the package over the fence.

Gonzalez said a diaper dispenser that was in one of the packages was damaged, local media reported. He also provided a photo of the damaged dispenser.

Another video shows a USPS representative at the door, apologizing for the incident. Gonzalez told local media that the home’s front gate was locked, but mail carriers in the past have gently dropped packages onto the lawn or returned at a different time.
