A pet owner has spoken of the horrifying moment she caught an Amazon delivery driver throw a parcel at her cat on camera.

Jodie Dobson watched the shocking moment on her Ring door bell, where it recorded the man "hurling" the package at the bins, frightening her nine-year-old cat, Grayson. The incident was captured outside the front of her house in Swain House Road, Bradford, on August 16 at 3.45pm.

In the 23-second clip, the delivery driver can be seen waiting at the front door. Then, when he realises no-one is at home to receive the package, he can be seen throwing it on to the bins. The parcel - which was a tin of Uno cards - then falls to the ground and Grayson can be seen running away.

The courier then goes to pick up the parcel from the ground and places it next to her door. “He thought it was a good idea to throw my parcel at the cat," said Jodie, 30. “Obviously he didn’t know he was caught on camera. I was shocked when I saw it.”

Amazon has confirmed they are now investigating what happened. An Amazon spokesperson said: “We have very high standards for our delivery service providers.

“And expect every package to be handled with care.

“We are looking into this.”

The Amazon business model of pay per drop does encourage doorstepping.

I agree wrong choice of words but it appears deliberate as he went back and picked up the parcel.

Amazon doesn’t pay on a per-drop basis — it is a unified daily rate.
