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.

Moment van driver ploughs into off-licence before making off with £11K of cigarettes & booze as shop crumbles around him
A BRAZEN thief used a stolen van to smash through a shop wall and steal thousands of pounds worth of cigarettes and alcohol. Shocking footage shows the moment Kayne Palmer, 33, rams into Bestwood Hill Food and Wine in Nottingham using a stolen vehicle in October 2023. 6 6 6 Stock and shelves fly across the room as the burglar reverses into the off license at speed. Brickwork continues to crumble around the van as Palmer nabs £8,000 worth of fags and booze. He can be seen on CCTV stuffing thousands of cigarettes into a bag before discovering it has a hole in the bottom. In a panic, Palmer then grabs a shopping basket which he uses to carry the stolen goods. He also swipes a till which he loads into the van before fleeing the scene. Palmer caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to the shop and stole £7,897 of cigarettes and alcohol, as well as £3,239 of cash. The frightened shop owners were upstairs at the time of the ram raid and were woken by the loud bang of the van smashing into the store. They called the police but by the time they got downstairs the crook had gone. Hours before the 5am raid, Palmer broke into a nearby house and stole keys to the work van along with a handbag and bank card. He carried out a 24-hour crime spree less than a month later, successfully breaking into five houses and attempting to force his way into another. He was finally caught when officers spotted him fence-hopping over gardens following an afternoon break-in in Bestwood, Nottingham. Palmer admitted to a series of offences, including eight burglaries, multiple counts of dangerous driving, assault and driving while disqualified. He was jailed for seven years at Nottingham Crown Court last Friday and was banned from driving for five-and-a-half years. Detective Inspector Julian Eminson-Ferry, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "He is a clear danger to society. "During his crime spree he stole a vehicle and drove dangerously, putting members of the public at risk. "He crashed into street furniture, people's property, and narrowly missed pedestrians, showing a blatant disregard for the safety of members of the public. "Palmer also stole another vehicle and used this in a ram raid of a locally owned shop. "Here he stole thousands of pounds worth of cash and products and destroyed the victim's shop, ruining their business and livelihood. "He didn't hide his offending and openly showed his face during the burglaries he committed. "This showed his desperation and flippancy about the offences he carried out, regardless of the detrimental impact on his victims." 6 6 6

They are also keen to speak to pedestrians and drivers travelling along Hull Road around the time Malcolm was last seen and have said motorists shoul check their dash cam footage. Leading the she search, Inspector Will Knapp at Humberside police said: 'We have been trawling hours of CCTV and doorbell footage, conducting house to house enquiries and area searches of rural locations to try and understand which direction Malcolm may have travelled in since leaving his home. 'As part of those enquiries, the CCTV footage shows Malcolm walking along Westfield Close at approximately 8.10am that morning (Wednesday, 4 June). 'Malcolm is then thought to have walked towards the junction of Hull Road before heading west at approximately 8.15am. This is the last confirmed sighting of him. 'He is described as being approximately 5ft 8ins tall with grey hair and is thought to be wearing a grey gilet with brown trousers and carrying a walking stick. 'From this point, with support from specialist trained search officers, scent dogs and the Underwater Search unit, alongside partnering agencies and Malcolm's family and friends, teams have been extending their searches we continue to conduct further lines of enquiries to understand Malcom's movements and try and trace his next steps. 'As part of this, we are keen to speak to pedestrians and motorists travelling along Hull Road between 8am and 9.30am around the time Malcolm was last seen. I'd also encourage anyone who has any CCTV or dashcam footage around this time to please get in touch. 'We would also urge members of the public to check sheds, outbuildings and any covered areas, if your neighbours are away, please check their gardens too.' He added: 'Anybody who has any information, no matter how small, dashcam or CCTV footage, or who may know where Malcolm may be and can assist us with locating him to please contact us our non-emergency number 101 quoting log 177of 4 June.'
