An Amazon spokesperson told Fox News Digital that based on the company’s internal investigation, it can confirm that the individuals seen in the video were not making scheduled deliveries for Amazon.
The spokesperson added that Amazon regularly monitors the Internet for unauthorized Amazon clothing and requests that these items be removed when and where possible. People who deliver on behalf of Amazon do not routinely knock on doors or ask customers to sign for packages unless this has already been arranged, the spokesman noted.
