Delivery driver's savvy hack to deliver parcels has people vowing to 'pay extra'

When we're waiting for parcels to get delivered, we often think of a driver dropping off an infinite amount of packages in a van before arriving at our location - and possibly delivering to a wrong address along the way. It would be strange to think of anything different.

A courier for Evri - branded the new Hermes - panicked as her mode of transport broke down, whilst customers were left expecting and awaiting for their next day delivery parcels. Unfortunately, this happened to Grace Allum - who had to quickly think of a solution - and viewers are now vowing to "pay extra" for the service.

Taking things to new extreme, TikTok user Grace used quick thinking to her benefit when her van broke down.

Clearly efficient and ambitious to get customer's packages delivered, she saddled a horse and got trotting down the road to the upcoming houses.

"The show must go on. Although be did throw me off on someone's driveway and I had to chase him the whole way home," she captioned the post.

She added: "POV, your van broke but you're an Evri courier and people need their NDAY parcels."

Sharing the video online, viewers gushed over the unique method - with some vowing that they'd "pay extra" for the delivery method.

On the other hand, some TikTokers even joked that Grace was the only postman to actually deliver parcels.

"I would pay extra for this," one user gushed.

A second thought cost effectively: "Saving a fortune on fuel too!"

A third joked: "Perhaps the only Evri carrier to ever actually deliver the parcels."

A fourth wrote: "I can’t explain the excitement I’d feel if my parcel was delivered this way!"
