Moment DPD drivers hurl packages between delivery vans backed up to each other

This is the moment DPD drivers hurled packages between delivery vans which were backed up to each other.

The footage shows a pair of delivery drivers launching packages back and forth in Iver, West London.

They were chaotically transferring parcels from one van to the other, seemingly ahead of deliveries, regardless of size or fragility.

The video shows one of the drivers, wearing a hi-vis vest, standing in-between the two delivery vans watching on as his unseen colleague fires parcels over from one vehicle to the next.

The parcels pass through the gap between the vans, flying with ferocity.

One shocked bystander who watched next to the person who filmed the careless exchange can be heard saying: 'There's a f***ing registration number on there as well.'

The watching DPD employee then joins in with his colleague, picking up boxes and tossing them repeatedly into the van next to him.

The unseen worker inside the white van, then takes to throwing the parcels to his colleague, who catches them and tosses them into the back of the DPD van.

Taking it as some kind of game, the employee outside the van can be seen grinning as his friend quickens the pace of his throws.

Watching on and filming the workers, the man filming laughs and then comments: 'No f***s given.'

As one of the parcels falls to the floor after the worker outside the van failed to catch it the man says: 'Smile on his face, oh there we go, dropped.'

Noticing a label on one of the boxes the man filming exclaims: 'Fragile. Oh my god.'

The workers finish transferring the packages and the employee inside the van finally steps out and shuts the doors of the van.

Footage of the incident was shared with the caption: 'They're dashing every box like there's no tomorrow. DPD in Iver.'

MailOnline contacted DPD for comment.
