An Amazon driver is sending out a crucial reminder to thoroughly inspect your packages before bringing them inside. But why is this such a big deal?
TikToker Keez (@keegotlevi) shared a rather unsettling experience after taking a peek inside a fellow driver’s vehicle, part of Amazon’s Flex program.
The Flex program allows drivers to use their own cars, which can sometimes lead to unexpected issues. What she saw made her vow to never bring a package straight into the house again without a thorough check.
A Car Crawling with Roaches!
In her video, Keez records herself from inside a car, urging everyone to give their Amazon packages a good shake before taking them inside. She warns:
“If you get an Amazon package, make sure you toss it, shake it—just make sure there’s nothing in it!”
She goes on to explain why she’s so serious about this. Keez recalls seeing a fellow driver loading up deliveries in a filthy car—one crawling with roaches in broad daylight.
“She’s putting packages in the car and there are roaches crawling all over. Y’all, if you get a package, please throw it, slap it, do whatever you gotta do,” Keez urges while shaking something off-camera to make her point.

Roaches Love Boxes!
Keez emphasizes that roaches are attracted to cardboard and Amazon’s packages are no exception. She insists Amazon should implement stricter rules about the cleanliness of drivers’ vehicles. She said:
“Amazon has got to do something about this. Check your packages. Throw them, slap them, whatever you gotta do—just don’t let them into your house without a good shake first.”

Why Bugs Love Cardboard?
Pest control experts agree with Keez. Insects, including roaches, love cardboard boxes. A pest control company warns that cardboard can easily become damp, which makes it even more attractive to pests. Plastic containers are a safer bet for storage as they keep out moisture and pests.
The Amazon Flex driver isn’t the first to warn about creepy crawlies hitching rides on your packages. Recently, a warehouse worker revealed that one of Amazon’s Kentucky facilities was temporarily shut down due to concerns over bedbugs.

More Roach Warnings from Customers!
Keez isn’t the only one raising concerns. On Reddit, one user cautioned fellow shoppers about Amazon deliveries, claiming that many warehouses are infested with roaches.
They advised opening packages outside to avoid bringing any unwanted pests into your home. “They love cardboard—it’s a perfect hiding spot,” the Redditor explained.

Keez’s TikTok video quickly went viral, with commenters just as horrified as she was. One TikToker commented, “They need to do car inspections,” while another imagined how much worse it could be: “Imagine her doing DoorDash!”
Some shared how they now handle deliveries. “I open my packages outside,” one user wrote. Another recounted spotting a roach in their home for the first time in over a decade and suspecting an Amazon delivery as the culprit.
One frustrated customer even declared they’ve stopped ordering from Amazon altogether: “It’s always something—if it’s not bedbugs, it’s roaches, or just plain dirt.”
In response to a commenter urging her to report the driver, Keez reassured them, “I already did report her and the parking spot she was in.”
