Amazon promised delivery from the sky, but one customer nearly needed a pool net instead of a front door to collect his order.

A hilarious video showing an Amazon Prime Air drone delivery going spectacularly off course has resurfaced online, capturing the moment a package ended up taking an unexpected dip in a backyard swimming pool.

The incident happened in Avondale, Arizona, where customer Daniel Muniz decided to try Amazon’s drone delivery option simply to experience the futuristic service. Muniz ordered vitamins and began recording as the company’s MK30 drone arrived above his backyard.

At first, everything appeared to be working perfectly.

The drone hovered over the designated delivery area and dropped the lightweight package onto the grass. Mission accomplished? Not quite.

Within seconds, the powerful air generated by the drone’s propellers sent the package sliding across the lawn before it plunged straight into the swimming pool.

So much for doorstep delivery, this one apparently came with free swimming lessons.

Muniz said Amazon had already selected a drop-off location on the map displayed through its delivery system, so he allowed the company’s suggested location to remain. After watching the package disappear into the water, he admitted he barely knew how to react.

Fortunately, there was no expensive phone, laptop or electronic device inside. The package contained vitamins, which Muniz said survived their surprise pool party.

Amazon later apologized for the inconvenience, describing incidents like the pool mishap as rare and saying customer response to Prime Air had otherwise been overwhelmingly positive.

Amazon says its drone service is designed to bring eligible packages weighing up to five pounds to customers quickly. Its newer delivery system identifies suitable drop zones while attempting to avoid obstacles — and Amazon itself notes that swimming pools are not considered appropriate delivery points.

The unforgettable footage, however, shows that even cutting-edge technology can have an occasional bad day.

For Muniz, his experiment with the future of shopping produced one valuable lesson: when Amazon says your package is arriving by air, keep the pool skimmer nearby just in case.
