A woman who ordered  a delivery which was delivered by the courier Evri was left enraged and perplexed after discovering her parcel had been lobbed at a random house.

Caroline Mottram was sent a bizarre snap of the package appearing to be flying through the air which was ostensibly sent by the courier as proof of delivery.

In the image, the parcel looks like it is soaring over a back garden fence.

The furious shopper from Oldham, Greater Manchester was baffled when the company claimed it was delivered as she quickly realised it had not been dropped off at her home.

She checked the website and tracked her parcel when she saw the strange image.

The image appeared to have been sent to her via Evri themselves 

Sharing the image on Facebook, Caroline questioned why the courier had done it

Caroline said: 'Evri delivered my parcel at this property last night at 8:30pm.

'Anyone know who lives there as they haven't brought the parcel to the address on it.'

Shoppers were left in stitches at the photo.

One person, called Shannon, said: 'How's it in the sky.'

Another, called Kelly said: 'It's f****** levitating.'

'Is it a flying carpet being delivered though,' joked Suzy.

'How do they get away with stuff like this though,' said Natasha. 

MailOnline has approached Evri for a response to the strange incident. 

Earlier this month another Evri delivery driver was caught on CCTV walking off with his daughter's parcel.

Tony Nguyen, 50, could not believe his eyes when he saw the footage from his neighbour's shop of a man believed to be an Evri employee walking off with the package after scanning it as delivered.

Tony Nguyen, 50, received a notification saying the parcel had been delivered. He was waiting for a £22 package from Temu for his daughter, Megan

The father had been away from his home in Dagenham, East London, when he was pinged a notification that the parcel had been dropped next door.

Mr Nguyen had been expecting a £22 package from online shopping megastore Temu for his daughter, Megan, and received the message as proof of delivery.

The photo showed two orange parcels on the counter of the shop with a shop employee resting one hand on another person's delivered parcel.

But when he went to the store on Wednesday, August 2, he was told it was not there.

When he viewed the CCTV footage he found the driver had seemingly pinched it himself.

The footage shows a man wearing an orange gilet and white t-shirt - believed to be the Evri courier - holding one parcel in his hand with another on the counter.

He then appears to scan the packages before walking off while still grasping the parcel in his hand.

Evri has since apologised to Mr Nguyen and offered him compensation 'as a gesture of goodwill'. 

A spokesperson for Evri said: 'We apologise sincerely to Mr Nguyen and have now delivered the parcel. We have offered compensation to Mr Nguyen as a gesture of goodwill.

'We work incredibly hard to deliver over two million parcels each day, and the overwhelming majority of our couriers are highly regarded by customers with an average star rating of 4.67 out of 5 this year.'
