A parcel delivery worker has left a resident a bizarre note after ‘accidentally’ throwing her package on to the roof, a young mother has claimed. 

Merryl Lloyd , 23, from Castle Hill in Sydney’s north-west, took to Facebook on Friday claiming she found her parcel sitting on the roof near her front door.  

She received a written notice which read: ‘I accidentally threw your parcel on top of the roof. My apologies. Use a maybe a broom to get it down.’

‘My friend and I got home from shopping and she told me that I had a parcel as there was a red card in the screen door,’ Ms Lloyd told Hatch. 

‘I got an extension mop and made several attempts and swung it around until finally it [the parcel] flew off and landed in the garden.’ 

A number of Ms Lloyd’s friends commented on the post with scepticism. 

‘Is that for real?!?’ one wrote. 

‘Passer by? Prank?’ another wrote. 

One added: ‘How do you ”accidentally” throw something on a roof!!!’ 

Ms Lloyd circulated photos of the note and the package on the roof to other Facebook pages including Australia Post Complaints and Hills District Mums.  

The post on Hills District Mums gained over 1,200 likes and 200 comments in the span of four hours.

She did not mention what was in the parcel but said the contents felt ‘like clothes’. 

The 23-year-old has planned to report the incident to Australia Post, which is now investigating the ‘unacceptable’ incident. 

‘Our posties and delivery drivers work hard to ensure customers receive their mail correctly, and we are investigating what has happened in this case, a spokesman told Daily Mail Australia.

‘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.’
