A dad was left shocked after he discovered his Amazon delivery parcel in the driveway covered with what he believes to be “poo” and “wet wipes”.
Paul Fullerton, from Ormskirk, was waiting for a delivery from Amazon on Thursday, October 6.
However, he had to step out of his house to pick up his son from an afterschool club. The 39-year-old said he was only gone for about 15 minutes when he got several notifications saying his deliveries had arrived.
When he returned home, he found one of the parcels and a bunch of wipes covered in what he believed was poo.
He claimed the only person who could have accessed his driveway during this time was the Amazon delivery driver. Amazon has said they were looking into the situation.
Mr Fullerton told the Liverpool Echo: “I got three or four notifications to say my packages have arrived. We pulled up to the fence and saw all the parcels out, despite there being a specific box for them to be placed and thought that was a pain.
“It wasn’t until I got out of the car that I saw the Amazon package on the floor – there were also wet wipes. I just thought ‘wow’, I didn’t even know what to say. It’s ridiculous. I had my little boy with me, if we came back any earlier we would have witnessed that.
“There’s a gate at the main road which we keep open and then it’s another 100m walk … so it’s not like any one was just walking past there. Only family and couriers come up that far. I have Amazon Prime, but I didn’t want this delivering.”
A spokesperson for Amazon said: “We have very high standards for the delivery service providers we work with and how they serve customers. We’re looking into this and we’re in direct communication with the customer.”
Lancashire Police confirmed the incident has been reported to them and an investigation was underway.
Mr Fullerton, who only moved into his Ormskirk home six weeks ago, has raised this issue with Amazon as well as Lancashire Police.
He also said he will now have to call environmental health out to his home due to there being animals that graze nearby.
He said: “If he’d knocked and asked us to use the toilet we would have said ‘yes’.”
