Man fumes as Amazon delivery driver throws parcels over fence into swimming pool
A bloke has fumed at Amazon after a delivery driver chucked his packages over his garden fence, and straight into a swimming pool.
Actor Richmond Staunton Keeling returned home from an evening out and found the packages, containing blanets, floating in his pool in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Richmond used a pool cleaning net to retrieve the floating order from the water and went on to slam the company.

He revealed that delivery drivers usually leave packages on top of the wall – or throw them over.
But he said: "The downside to throwing it over the wall is, there's a pool here, my package is in the pool."
Richmond added: "I was tired and wanted to go to bed, and wanted to grab my blankets I had ordered to be warm.
"But I couldn't find my delivered packages until I looked over into the pool.
"I honestly found it funny and it didn't anger me as a lot of people in the comments assumed it would have."
Richmond confirmed that the goods were not damaged and he has not requested any kind of compensation from Amazon.

Mitchell Galin and Keiko Napier said their little dog Cooper was sitting in the back garden of their California home when a FedEx driver threw a heavy package over the fence.
Mitchell told Valley News: “I immediately picked up the box, and Cooper was in a puddle of blood.”
Amazon delivery drivers often get criticism for throwing parcels over fences, or not delivering them at all. But one delivery driver went the extra mile when he dropped off some Christmas presents to Jamie Lappin’s house in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, in 2019.
As Jamie opened the door, the driver asked if he could use the loo. Jamie said yes, but the employee left the toilet in a state.
Jamie said: "I don't know why but I went upstairs to check the toilet and couldn't believe what I'd seen.
"It was like he had tried to miss the toilet!”
Jamie added that the driver cleaned up eventually.
