Delivery Man Drops Off Pizza, Then Does Something No One Expected

A social-media video that shows a delivery driver helping a customer move in after arriving at her new home has melted hearts across the internet.

The viral clip has been viewed more than 741,000 times since it was first shared to TikTok on January 26. It captures the delivery driver helping customer @chloe_slee and her friends move a bookcase that has been causing a hallway obstruction in her new home. "POV [point of view]: The pizza delivery guy is more reliable than half of the men in London," the TikTok user shared in the post.

The creator appears to have recently moved into a new home in London, England, and was still left with plenty of large furniture to assemble and move around at the time of the delivery. Luckily for the woman, the driver was happy to help her and her friends out.

He is shown passing the creator and her friends three pizza-delivery boxes over the bookcase, before stepping in to help move the furniture item into a more suitable position from where he stood on the stairs.

The delivery driver also uses a screwdriver to fit a door into place, before waving into the camera and heading off to continue his shift. The man has received plenty of praise online as a result of his valiant efforts.
