Quick delivery?

Two men in the UK caused hilarity when loading their delivery truck in a less than efficient manner. In a misguided attempt to speed their work of loading the truck, the men loaded their pallet device with a huge and obviously heavy pile of crates.

Unsurprisingly, the tottering heap of crates fell over with a crash, shattering many of the glass bottles it contained.
