THIS is the shocking moment an Evri driver throws 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.

Man killed wife in stabbing attack as she walked baby in Bradford, court told
A man who killed his estranged wife in a ferocious attack in Bradford while she was pushing a pram stabbed her numerous times in the head, neck and body, a court has heard. Habibur Masum, 26, killed Kulsuma Akter after tracking her down to a women's refuge where she was living. She had moved out after suffering threats and attacks from him at their home in Oldham, a jury at Bradford crown court was told. Masum, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a hearing last week but denied a charge of murder, is accused of stalking, threatening and assaulting Akter over a period of months, eventually stabbing her multiple times outside a shop at about 3pm on Saturday 6 April last year. Akter, 27, was pushing their seven-month-old baby in a pram near where she had fled 'to escape his violence, to escape his jealousy, to escape his controlling behaviour' when she was approached by Masum, said the prosecutor Stephen Wood KC. In CCTV footage played to jurors, who were warned of its graphic and distressing nature, Masum could be seen approaching and grabbing Akter who was dressed in a black coat and black hijab. The footage showed Masum brandishing a knife from within his padded jacket and using it to repeatedly stab Akter, as an onlooker screamed. In the video, Akter fell to the ground and the pram rolled away from her, while Masum stood over her continuing his attack, as the screaming continued. In court, Masum, wearing a blue T-shirt and grey jacket, left the dock because he did not want to watch the footage of the stabbing. Wood said Masum was 'rational and calculating' that day, and had got on a bus and put his phone on airplane mode to stop it being tracked. A three-day hunt was subsequently launched and Masum was arrested outside Stoke Mandeville hospital in Buckinghamshire, where he saw doctors for lockjaw. Jurors were shown CCTV footage of him inside the hospital, with a changed appearance after shaving off his beard and buying new clothes, as a police appeal played on the BBC News channel in the hospital waiting room, in the early hours of 9 April. The jury was told how Masum had previously threatened to kill Akter and her brothers on a number of occasions. In an incident in November 2023 while she was on maternity leave from her job in a bakery, police were called after Masum was accused of attacking Akter, which the prosecution described as a 'chilling prediction of what he was to do in April of the following year'. The court heard how he put a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her while she was holding their baby. The jury was shown an image of Akter with a bruise below her left eye, which he told police she had inflicted on herself. A social worker had arranged for Akter to be moved to a different refuge, which was due to happen two days after she was killed. The jury heard that Masum was expected to say he had lost control but these were 'fake defences' of a man who could not face up to what he had done, Wood said. Masum denies stalking, attacking and murdering Akter. The trial continues.
