Online shopping can be difficult at the best of times - especially trying to receive items from the courier on time.
But one Sydney mother received a shock when she returned home to find a package from Australia Post had been tossed into the guttering on the roof of her home.
Upon her return home, Merryl Lloyd noticed a delivery note on her front door.
But what was in the note left her speechless and in laughter.
The note read: "I accidentally threw your parcel on top of the roof. My apologies."
After reporting the incident to Australia Post, they released a statement saying: "Our posties and delivery drivers work hard to ensure customers receive their mail correctly, and we are investigating what has happened in this case.
"We will also be reaching out to the customer as part of our investigation. This example is unacceptable, and if we find in our investigation one of our people has mishandled this parcel, disciplinary action will be taken."
