Postal workers throw packages around on the platform

If you’ve ever had a package delivered to Russia and you're wondering why it arrived in pieces, I might have the answer.

A clip on postal workers throwing packages off a train has come to my attention. The boxes are unloaded from a train onto a platform, and they are not exactly handled with care. In fact, they are thrown out like trash.

This clip was filmed on the Novsibirsk terminal and two different staffers are captured on tape grossly mishandling packages.

According to the video description, this clip has been posted by all major news outlets so it is sure to echo on Russian authorities.

Just in case though, if you do send a package to Russia, choose direct delivery to the recipient's doorstep.
