Stuart Evans and Aimee Sheppard found the chewed up package in the outhouse where their two dogs live.

A postman has been caught on camera delivering a parcel into a dog pen.

Stuart Evans and Aimee Sheppard found the chewed up package in the outhouse where their two dogs - Bull Mastiff Milo and Labrador Digger - live.


The couple were at home at the time but claim the Royal Mail worker failed to ring the doorbell or post a card through the letterbox.

Royal Mail have apologised over the incident.

Stuart told the Mirror : “It was unbelievable. He knew he was giving it to the dogs.

“He obviously just couldn’t be bothered to write out the card, pondered for a moment and then fed it to the dogs.

“We were both in but we didn’t know he was there because he didn’t even knock.”

Cleaner Stuart and veterinary nurse Aimee were at home in Mold when the parcel was delivered on October 14.

They later discovered a chewed up package - containing vinyl transfers for Stuart’s work van - in their dogs’ enclosure.

The couple checked their CCTV cameras and were surprised by what they found.

Their footage shows the postal worker getting out of his van with the cardboard tube before standing outside for almost a minute.

Instead of ringing the doorbell or posting a card through the door, the unnamed men is seen putting the parcel into the dog pen.

Milo can then be seen carrying it off in his mouth.

Stuart, 41, said: “They ate the parcel and have given the contents a good chew.

“It could have been anything - rat poison, screws and bolts, fishing hooks, anything.

“Imagine if it had been something precious. I could have been sifting through dog poo for the next week.

“The dogs were fine, but it’s not the point. It’s the fact the postman represents the Royal Mail.”

A Royal Mail spokeswoman said: “We have apologised to Mr Evans, that in this instance, our postman did not leave his item in a safe place, placing it on a wall and one of the dogs took it as it fell off.

“We have spoken to the postman to ensure this does not happen again. We are in contact with Mr Evans to resolve his complaint as quickly as possible.”

Looks more like a manager to me, does not seem to be uniform and looks to be very tidy for one of us.

I don’t reckon that’s a postman. That is nothing like our uniform. Possibility the item was misdelivered and that person has taken it to the correct house or maybe the item was “delivered to neighbour”and they have decided to chuck it through the gate.

Watch the video and you'll have a better idea of what happened. To me it looked like there's no actual front door and the whole place looks like a bloody junk yard.

I wouldn't go in there with two dogs loose. He left it on the wall and it fell in, seems reasonable.
