Our top 5 packaging options for sending a Vinted package
- When packing your item, make sure it is clean and ready to be shipped. You can use a dry cleaning bag or wrap the item in paper or tissue paper. Ensure that the packaging has no holes or tears. You can also use a plastic cover if you want to protect the item from dust. Make sure it’s transparent so buyers can see what’s inside. Use bubble wrap or foam padding to protect delicate items like glassware and ceramics. At Vinkit, we have created specific packaging to protect your items during transport.
- Remove price tags or labels.
- Use a plastic bag to protect the item.
- Use packing tape to seal the bag, using enough tape so that the contents of your package cannot be seen through the bag (you want to ensure that no one can see what you’ve packed).
- Use a sturdy box, preferably with extra padding if possible (bubble wrap is a great alternative to foam sheets). You can also use boxes that have been previously used by other sellers, but make sure they are still in good condition!
Set the address
You can set the address in your “Address Book.” To do this, go to your profile, click the ”+” button, and choose “Add an address.” If you don’t have an address book yet, you can simply write it down on paper or save it on your phone.
If you can’t find a buyer/seller’s address on their profile, try using:
- The email address from their Vinted profile;
- Their Facebook account;
- Their Instagram account;
- Their username on another social network (Pinterest, etc.).
Drop off your package
When you’re ready to drop off your package, head to the post office. There may be a line, but don’t worry: it moves quickly! Make sure you have these items with you before you queue up:
- Your tracking number (available online)
- A photo ID (like a driver’s license or passport)
- The packages
Vinted makes it easy for you to sell your clothes online and ship them to your buyer across Europe.
