The Jeff Bezos-owned online retailer ships over one and a half million packages a day, selling over $700 billion.

Amazon in the middle of the forest and the delivery man leaves them perplexed with his confession

We’ve made it through another holiday season, and that means certain workers will be celebrating more than most. In particular, delivery workers, for whom the festive period can lead to enormous amounts of stress.

That’s what happened to one Amazon delivery driver in Massachusetts, who found himself overwhelmed by the mounting pressure of holiday shipments.

His solution? To ditch dozens of packages in the middle of a forest.

Amazon packages discovered

Luckily for the Christmas spirit, the packages were found. The discovery unfolded during a routine police patrol in Lakeville, Massachusetts. In the early hours of the morning, officers noticed reflective containers scattered along the edge of a wooded area. Upon closer inspection, they found three large bins filled with Amazon packages, spread across the forest floor.

According to a statement from the Lakeville Police Department, no reports of missing or stolen packages had been filed, leaving the situation a mystery. The police collected the 80 packages and returned them to Amazon. Hours later, the mystery was solved when a delivery driver walked into the police station and confessed.

Amazon driver too stressed

“I was too tired and stressed from the deliveries,” the driver admitted. He explained that he had intended to retrieve the packages later but had abandoned them to lighten his load.

Police Chief Matthew Perkins praised his officers’ handling of the case. “I’m proud of the way our department managed this situation. At this time, we are not filing criminal charges and are treating this as an internal matter for Amazon’s human resources,” he said in a press release.

Amazon confirmed that all the recovered packages were reintegrated into the delivery system and reached their intended recipients in time for the holidays. The company has not disclosed further details about its handling of the incident but emphasized its commitment to ensuring timely deliveries and supporting its drivers.
