Video shows Evri / Hermes workers throwing packages around depot

Workers for delivery firm Evri have been caught on video throwing parcels around at a distribution depot. A customer filmed the staff scanning packages before appearing to hurl them into a nearby crate.

It is thought some of the parcels may have contained clothing as they were emblazoned with ASOS labels. However, the video footage appeared to show employees for the company formerly known by the name Hermes often missing their target at the premises in Plymouth, Devon. Workers were then seen making several attempts at throwing the packages until they finally went into the crate.

Ben Hardy, who filmed the activity at the depot, said he witnessed the workers throwing the parcels around for about five minutes. The 26-year-old described the incident as "infuriating", adding: "At the moment, people can't afford to be buying things twice."
