THIS is the shocking moment an Evri driver is caught throwing parcels onto the floor before being confronted by a disgruntled resident.
Emma Morton, who captured the footage on CCTV, said she witnessed the men letting the packages fall out of their van whilst making deliveries in her Cornish village.

The video shows the two delivery men standing idle whilst almost a dozen packages fall to the ground.
The two men can then be seen pulling out more parcels from the van and throwing them on the floor.
They are then pictured being confronted by an angry local, who later said she had been expecting a beauty box, which could easily have been broken.
She told Cornwall Live: “I was annoyed more than anything else. Luckily, parcels weren’t damaged.”
But despite her innocent bid to save her neighbours’ parcels, she said she was met with “disrespect” by a “rude” delivery driver.
“[One of the men] was so rude to me after I went out to speak to them. He asked what my problem was and if my parcel was damaged but I said I didn’t know,” she said.
Evri has since let go of one of the drivers and said the behaviour is not a reflection of the firm’s standards.
In a statement the firm said: “Every parcel matters to us, and this behaviour does not reflect the high standards we usually see from the vast majority of our couriers.
“We have investigated the matter and the courier in question, who was providing temporary cover on this day, will no longer be delivering on behalf of Evri.”
This comes just days after an Iceland delivery driver was caught urinating on a customer’s bins.
Josh Weaver, 27, alleged the supermarket driver became “aggressive” when he confronted the courier for taking a wee break after dropping off his £50 shop.
He said he tried to throw punches and pushed him against the wall in Norwood, South London, last month.
Mr Weaver then stood in front of the van to stop him driving off while he was on the phone to police.
But the driver is said to have got into the van from the passenger side, and then jumped over to the driver’s seat and moved the van.
He is said to have driven for around 20 seconds, swerving in the road, before he stopped when he nearly crashed.
This also follows a brawl earlier this month between a JustEat driver and a Domino’s driver.
The video appeared to have been filmed by a bystander, who caught the two delivery drivers squaring up to each other on Military Road in Canterbury.
The Just Eat cyclist had grabbed the Domino’s driver by the scruff of his clothes and appeared to be shouting something at him.
However, the Domino’s driver grabbed the other man before trying to get him into a headlock.
The men grappled, throwing their arms around each other, before the Uber Eats rider threw the Domino’s worker against a red car.
