Amazon trialling new paper-packing machine<\/h3>\n

A woman was left horrified after a package she was expecting ended up being sent to the landfill.<\/p>\n

Normally, delivery companies are pretty efficient with missed parcels, often leaving it in a safe space or with a neighbour. But this was not the case for Helen Verill as a mysterious Amazon package that arrived at her house never saw the light of day.<\/p>\n

Helen was celebrating her 50th birthday with a mini-break when an Amazon delivery arrived at her place. Because no one was in, the delivery driver placed the package in her brown bin, and left a card letting her know where it had been left.<\/p>\n

Verill, of Harome, near Helmsley, North Yorkshire, told Teesside Live<\/b> back in 2019: “We went away for the night, came back the next morning and our neighbour had kindly put the bin out. When we picked up the post in the letterbox, there was a note to say there was a parcel for us in the bin.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cNeither of us ordered anything, we have no idea what it is. I have never known them put it in with your household waste.”<\/p>\n

She added: “I think it’s pretty poor to be honest, they could have left it with a neighbour, they could have done all sorts of things. My neighbours are retired and they are in all the time.”<\/p>\n

The note on the card left by the delivery driver read: “Brown lid bin @ back to keep dry” and was accompanied by a smiley face.<\/p>\n

But Helen has been left with little to smile about as she wonders quite why the package was ever placed in a domestic waste bin in the first place.<\/p>\n

“It’s possible somebody has sent me something for my birthday”, she said, adding that Amazon has said it will send her a hamper and is investigating the incident.<\/p>\n

An Amazon spokesperson said: “We have very high standards for our delivery service providers and expect every package to be handled with care.<\/p>\n

“We’ve notified the right teams internally and will work with the customers directly on matters related to their package delivery.”<\/p>\n
