Sending your sold items with ease
Selling on Vinted is a lovely way to give your pre-loved items a second life. And once something sells, sending it off is easier than you might think. Whether it’s a jumper, a pair of shoes or something small and sweet, Vinted guides you through the process step-by-step. Here’s everything you need to know about how to send Vinted parcels in the UK.
What happens when your item sells?
Once your item is sold, you’ll receive a notification from Vinted with all the details—including the buyer’s chosen delivery method. Vinted will then provide a pre-paid shipping label or QR code depending on the courier option selected. This means you don’t need to worry about calculating postage or paying upfront—it’s all sorted for you.
Packaging your parcel
Wrap your item securely using clean packaging that protects it in transit. This could be a padded envelope, a recycled box or a parcel bag—whatever suits the item best. Be sure to seal it properly with strong tape to avoid any mishaps during its journey. If you're reusing packaging, just make sure any old labels or barcodes are covered or removed.
Attaching your label or using a QR code
If your delivery method requires a label, print the one provided and stick it firmly to your parcel. If you're using InPost or a label-free Evri option, you’ll receive a QR code instead. Just scan it at the drop-off point and the machine or shop assistant will print the label for you. No printer? No problem.
Drop-off options available
Vinted partners with several well-known couriers in the UK, including:
- Evri – Drop your parcel at a local ParcelShop or arrange a collection (depending on the listing settings).
- InPost – Use a 24/7 locker for quick, contact-free drop-offs.
- Royal Mail – Drop off at your nearest Post Office, often with label printing available in-store.
You’ll be able to see what option the buyer has chosen, and Vinted will guide you to the nearest drop-off point with a handy map in the app or website.
Tracking your parcel
Once your parcel is scanned at the drop-off point, tracking begins automatically. You and the buyer can both see the parcel’s journey in real time. This helps build trust and ensures peace of mind on both sides. Once the buyer confirms everything has arrived safely, your payment will be released.
Summary
Sending Vinted parcels is simple and stress-free. With pre-paid labels, flexible drop-off options and step-by-step instructions, you can post your items with confidence. Just pack it, scan it and let the courier do the rest—turning your sold item into someone else’s new favourite thing.
