No issue frnd I will try to solve this by below guidance
1) it is the responsibility of the delivery personnel or the courier service to take a picture of the product at the time of delivery, especially for electronic items. This is known as "proof of delivery" or "POD."
The purpose of taking a picture is to:
1. Confirm delivery
2. Show the product's condition at the time of delivery
3. Prevent potential disputes or claims
Usually, the delivery personnel of Amazon, Flipkart & Cred
1. Take a photo of the product with the consignment number or tracking number visible
2. Take a photo of the product with the customer or recipient present (if possible)
3. Get a signature or confirmation from the recipient
