The driver then tosses an envelope package at the door like a frisbee, and continues on with their route. 

The clip ignited lots of polarizing conversations online about how packages are handled, with some folks criticizing Amazon and others coming to the defence of the driver. 

"I work at an airport packing these things and I promise they get thrown around and beat up a lot more than this," one person responded. 

"What's wrong with people? I'd do the job with the mindset of 'what if it was me expecting the package?' It takes nothing to walk to the door to drop it and reduce the risk of damaging it," another comment reads. 

In a statement to blogTO, an Amazon spokesperson said that the company is committed to delivering packages to customers that arrive safely, quickly, and in good condition.

"Any customers with questions or feedback about their delivery experience are encouraged to contact our customer service, who can investigate specific incidents related to a customer's account," the spokesperson told blogTO.
