An "angry, unpleasant and aggressive" three-word note and doodle on a 'sorry we missed you' Amazon delivery slip has left a family anxious and scared to open the door, they claim.

David Kirk, from Manchester, has complained after discovering the note which said "answer your phone" in block capitals with an "angry face" doodle.

He claims it has left him "anxious" and his family no longer feel they can answer the door to Amazon drivers.

The same driver was also rude to a neighbour, he claims, so he decided to complain on the Amazon UK Facebook page.

The company said it is investigating the incident internally.

Posting on April 17, he said: "Do you think failed delivery notices with angry comments left by Amazon delivery drivers is acceptable?

"I received this very unpleasant and aggressive note from one of your logistics drivers who was also reportedly rude to a neighbour of ours."

Amazon has told David it is investigating but he will not be informed of the outcome, due to it being an internal investigation.

The company told him: "We have passed on details of the incident to management of the carrier in question.

"The nature of the investigation is internal, so you wouldn't be contacted with an outcome."

Demanding a response, his Facebook rant continued: "This is totally unacceptable and as per my last correspondence with Amazon, unless I receive an acceptable update with what actions have been taken to ensure this does not happen again and I receive suitable redress for the anxiety this aggressive note has caused my family (who are now fearful of opening the door to Amazon drivers) I will post this complaint in every public forum I can find.

"Absolutely disgusted with the attitude of Amazon regarding this."

A spokesman for Amazon told the Sun: "We take this matter seriously and have apologised to the customer.

"We are investigating with our delivery service provider.”
