Earlier this week, Aussie goalie Mackenzie Arnold swapped her gloves for a seat behind the wheel to become an Amazon Flex delivery partner for a day.
The soccer star, who is back in Australia for the holidays, took to the streets in Brisbane to spotlight the drivers who make fast holiday deliveries possible at the busiest time of year—and surprise unsuspecting fans at their doorstep.
“I know what it’s like to be busy in the lead-up to Christmas and I rely heavily on online deliveries when I’m travelling around the world,” Arnold said. “So, it’s a good feeling to be able to come home to not only make some of these Christmas deliveries possible, but also help out some of the legends who work as Amazon Flex drivers.”
Follow her on her journey as an Amazon Flex delivery partner in the photos below, and see some of the best reactions of those who received packages delivered by the celeb goalie.
