AIBU about this?

[Gagagardener]

Posted on here for traffic. But AIBU this could and does happen?

I live in a small village. I ordered a small item of jewellery from Vinted to be delivered to my home address. I was very busy with guests on Thursday and Friday. I remembered about the item this evening and checked Messages (not an app I use regularly). Read one from InPost saying item had been delivered and no pic. No link to anything.

So I installed InPost app to view pic. It shows a hand holding a small package near what is definitely my external postbox. I opened the postbox. It is empty. I have the only keys to that box.

Here's the question: AIBU to think that photographing a hand about to put a small package into a postbox, but not doing so, is a recognised trick? Vote Yes if you think this.

And if you this this: do I just shrug it off?

Sorry posted YABU in error.

I’m confused about why an InPost delivery would deliver to your home address? I thought InPost was a ‘collect from a locker’ service? What service did you choose and pay for on Vinted?

In answer to your question, I’ve seen plenty of ‘hands accepting parcel’ and ‘parcel on doorstep’ photos on local Facebook pages, which are the wrong hands and wrong doorstep! So not surprised that the photo of your parcel is incorrect.

I chose home delivery because it was offered as an alternative by Vinted/the seller. I rang InPost's helpline yesterday and eventually spoke to a human being, whose reaction made me think this happens quite frequently.
