VIDEO footage of handlers at Adelaide Airport recklessly throwing packages around has gone viral with almost half a million views.
The 17 second video — shot by a member of the public from a car— has been shared over 30,000 times in the last hour.
It was first posted on the Facebook page of “Pinky BuaChompoo”.
The Advertiser has confirmed the name is an alias of a prominent South Australian kickboxer.
He has asked that his real name not be published.
“I was just sitting in my mate’s car when I saw them doing it,” he said.
“I was really p***ed off with their behaviour.”
“The reason why it bothers me is that I send stuff all the time internationally and domestically and the stuff ends up in damaged boxes.
I'm glad I don't send my parcels through DHL
DHL: "we are looking to have wrapped up our investigation by the end of the day.”
Journos just can't resist a little pun, can they?

I have been lucky so far with Startrack, the delivery guy is really nice and my stuff hasn't been damaged yet. Including a flatscreen TV in a flimsy cardboard box, no extra packaging except from the manufacturer. Fair few AP parcels looking like they might have seen better days though.
