Amazon shopper 'found courier performing sex act in her home'
The Guardian
|August 07, 2025
A British Amazon customer in Spain who complained about a delivery driver coming into her house and masturbating in her bedroom is demanding to know how the man was allowed to call again at her home two days later.
Spanish police investigating the incident have taken a suspected semen sample from the scene.
The customer, a 72-year-old retired British social worker who lives in Spain and New Zealand, had ordered mosquito repellent on Amazon Marketplace. Jane (not her real name) said: "I will not be using Amazon again. I want people to know that it's unsafe."
The online retailer said the courier was not one of its employees but a contractor for one of its third-party Marketplace sellers.
The courier, a tall man in his 20s, arrived with the package at Jane's home in a village on the Costa Brava, north-east Spain, at about 5pm on 15 July. She buzzed him in through a gate to her home via a video doorbell and asked him to wait.
