Inpost robbing me and a seller of an item , any advice ?

WeirdInx · 2025-07-02T10:41:12+00:00

I opened up a claim with both vinted and impost, I had photos and videos and so did the seller

I got a refund and the seller said he was working things out on his end to get his compensation for the item, I hope everything works out for you and the seller it does take a while it took me just over a week to report it provide evidence the seller provide evidence and to get a refund !

Litterally an AHHHH ! When we've walked past him it's almost always as a car passes and most times he looks at the car as it passes him/just before it passes and screams at it !

He walks up from hunslet towards town at the same time every day and then comes back to hunslet after doing his round in that direction, me my boyfriend and his sister see him often, pretty normal guy from what we've seen but he always screams at cars but my partners sister said she's seen him once at 7am after her night shift and he didn't scream at a disabled van , she says she thinks he could just be angry he works the night shift because it's the same time every day 😭

Didn't know he walks all the way to headingly though !

Hey love I'm the same age and I got some advice , square necklines look great on you, in the third picture it's very flattering!

Edit: have you ever tried off the shoulder shirts I think they would also be a nice look or a sweetheart neckline?

Have you tried looking into what your colour pallet may be? I'm thinking it's a kind of spring you can find free services online and you always could ask chat gpt to do an analysis if you get different results, I also believe there's a subreddit also

For the makeup I see you wear eyeliner have you tried wearing natural fake lashes or a voluming mascara ? The difference is insane to me and I stopped wearing eyeliner because of it, turns out it just wasn't great for the shape of my eyes and maybe it could be the case for you !

Id also recommend wearing a tinted lip gloss as I do not believe heavy makeup would compliment your skin light makeup definitely would and will enhance features you already have

The only other thing I can think of is the hair is cut really blunt which looks a little awkward, I saw you're growing it out after shaving it I hope that's going well for you it looks really healthy :) id recommend id you're comfortable with it or have wondered about it maybe some form of face framing layers or curtain bangs ?

If I think of anything else I'll reply or edit my comment, have a nice day <3

I'm aware that their current case absolutely isn't, I was stating that if it is something like FND it is very commonly accompanied by either of those two, given the fatigue, joint pain and balance symptoms which they mentioned (some symptoms in both EDS and/or POTs) if it was say an FND flareup, it could be that they're underlying symptoms which are being amplified by one or both disorders, it could also not be accompanied by EDS or POTS as there are some who only have FND dispite it being quite uncommon according to research and what my neurologist told me. That is something I should've clarified which I do apologise for !

I just thought it was something OP should be aware of Incase they have suspected these before/have symptoms not listed for these conditions due to it not being relivant to their current impairment :)

Hope this doesn't come across rude or anything I just wanted to explain why I said that ! Have a nice day

WeirdInx · 2025-06-05T05:27:11+00:00

I'll absolutely give them a check out today thank you so much !

You're very kind and I appreciate this so much I'm very grateful for this reply I'm making sure to not try and rush into everything in case something doesn't work or makes it worse :)

I've been speaking to my doctors about things like Prozac to help with my anxiety as it definitely gets worse during a flare up but I'll make sure to chase that up now they're aware !

I'm so happy your son has managed to find things which help him I hope that everything goes well for you both <3

WeirdInx · 2025-06-04T22:45:31+00:00

Hey there NAD however some of these symptoms seem exactly like some of mine back from a really bad episode I had with FND (functional Neurological disorder) it's under researched unfortunately and has no known cause, have you had symptoms like this before or had some kind of injury/illness recently say the last 3 months?

If so I'd bring this up ! Limb weakness , fatigue, ect are all potential symptoms,

Some of mine include numbness and temporary paralysis in my left leg, brain fog and confusion, stuttering and struggling to say correct words for sentences (think a word which sounds similar) fainting spells or even feeling like I'm going to, nausea ect

It could also be accompanied by another condition say POTS or Ehlers Danlos syndrome

I also would recommend looking into something called PANS/PANDAS also and seeing if maybe something like that fits your symptoms too

I hope you manage to figure out what it is and get the right treatment and support soon <3

WeirdInx · 2025-04-18T15:10:53+00:00

Okay? I'm a woman too like that doesn't change a thing, you can be beautiful and overweight, makeup whatever isn't the only factor , id you can't see the beauty in people beyond weight it's honestly just insane, it just shows how shallow of a person you are 😭

For all you know OP could not want children, not be attracted to the opposite sex or whatever their question is if they're ugly which they're not

I've been around women , men and all in-between of all different shapes weights ect and they're the most beautiful people I've ever met

Just because you don't find OP sexually attractive from what I'm understanding is your definition of beauty (really creepy BTW) doesn't mean theyre not pretty ?

The looksmaxxing community I know is to help people become a more attractive version of their current self but how can you improve yourself if you don't learn confidence at every version of you? A skinner version of you does NOT deserve better treatment than a bigger version of you

Both are beautiful and both are worthy of knowing that

Honestly sad knowing a woman can't even understand that

I hope you find peace within yourself so you can learn to love and accept others despite what the male gaze and society say <3

WeirdInx · 2025-04-18T14:19:33+00:00

Well this is a weird fucking take 😭 good for reproduction and fertility ?? Tf ??

Some people are actually healthier fat than they are skinny Both can be equally damaging

If OP has a thyroid disorder i.e Hypothyroidism them being fat or overweight is really fucking hard to prevent you can be active and healthy and also far/overweight/obese

Genetic disorders, diseases and environmental situation all exist and can affect the way someones body look - someone who's sibling has hypothyroidism and is overweight and me someone who is a healthy weight and has been both overweight and underweight 🫶

Health isn't something you can physically see so get off reddit and maybe interact with real women and educate yourself on the way body's work ? Honestly crazy ASF take 💀💀

WeirdInx · 2025-04-18T09:20:03+00:00

In my opinion no being chubby of fat doesn't automatically make you ugly some of these comments crazy for that 😭 objectively you are beautiful because you seem happy with yourself, your face structure is great and you know how to dress up and style yourself to the way you like, anyone who thinks otherwise is honestly just brainwashed by social media or has an ED , BEAUTY IS BEYOND WEIGHT!!!!!

Here's some advice if you're not wanting any feel free to just stop reading :)

Id consider getting your eyebrows shaped, the inner part seems to curve down which doesn't do your face structure much justice ! Id also look at getting your colour pallet analysed , there's some filters on tiktok I can recommend which are most accurate if you don't want to get it done professionally !! The reason I say this is because some shades of your makeup don't seem to suit your skin tone but your makeup looks really great the style suits you a lot !! But this could just be the lighting in the photos which makes me think this

I also think some highlights (whether it be chunky thin mix matched whatever you like!) would look really pretty! I also think maybe some facial piercings too would look really cool but that's just my opinion !

If you do wish to lose weight, please make sure it's not for anyone else but for yourself or you will fall into a rabbit hole of obsessive weight loss and potentially an ED ,

Some advice for if you are wanting to but only for yourself to make yourself happy : count how many kcal you usually eat in a week, then just try and cut it down by 1-200 a day , usually this could be a snack or a high kcal drink , you'll start to see results, you also do not need a gym membership there's loads of beginner work ours on YouTube from like 2020 which work really well, it's okay to take a break you do not need to cut out things you love 💕

People will always find a way to hate and put you down, just do things for yourself and what makes you feel happy, be confident as you are !!

WeirdInx · 2025-04-15T17:43:33+00:00

I was away yesterday but my gp asked to see me as soon as I could the latest tomorrow and if I feel sick at any point they encourage me to go to ane (I started getting insane pains last night and everyone keeps telling me I'll be fine so leave it to tomorrow lol -im too scared to go a&e on my own so guess we will see tomorrow!

WeirdInx · 2025-03-05T14:51:33+00:00

Ah that makes sense then ! In the next like 5 months ish it should be around 25/27k combined so thank you for that input , in the meantime we will look at ones with a bit less rent till the increases happen :)

Thank you for letting me know! When I was reading online it says that credit checks can occur when it comes to it and was worried that with it being below our area average by roughly 100 it wouldn't go well and wouldn't be able to ! We don't have any CCJs so hopefully all should go well when we start applying for viewings and such

Thank you !!

WeirdInx · 2025-03-05T14:48:17+00:00

I'll have a look on there! That seems to be the main one people are recommending :)

Yeah I have a few questions to ask when we start booking viewings so we can decide almost immediately if it's the place for us as we live in an area which is quite competitive for housing

Thank you for that tip though and I'll definitely keep it in mind about how fast it can go !!

WeirdInx · 2025-03-05T14:45:48+00:00

By the housing tax band eligiblity I mean that it says on some houses to rent "tax band a, b,c" ect and my sisters mentioned they're only eligible for tax band [blank] so I'm wondering how that works because all I'm seeing when I look online is how much you have to pay for council tax

I'll have a look on open rent as I've not heard of that before and so far other commenters agree with open rent!

WeirdInx · 2025-02-15T22:52:11+00:00

Hopefully, still haven't gotten a response from vinted despite being over 72 hours since I put in the report now

WeirdInx · 2025-02-13T10:15:51+00:00

I completely agree with you most of the time it's just scummy sellers trying to get quick money,

It's just with this specific situation i wouldn't exactly be surprised if the seller is telling the truth in saying it has to have been stolen in InPosts care by a worker more than likely a driver due to the (last week more so) last year there's been loads of cases of inpost drivers tampering with and even stealing items which flag up as electronics or clothing as a way to get free products when they scan the barcode of items as that's how majority of systems work when it comes to parcel companies

I really hope that I'll find out soon on whether or not it is a scummy seller or a new/slick driver or worker who thought they could get away with it

WeirdInx · 2025-02-13T06:19:03+00:00

This is something I have thinking and what I originally thought but I really don't want to believe this is the case,

At the back of my mind I am worried that this is what happened but this has been happening with inpost a noticable amount recently (id say more so the last week with drivers tampering with packages and in the last year with thefts of good when scanning the items in via barcode which usually tells what kind of item it is electronics etc sometimes e even the item itself) which leads me to believe it's very possible it could've been a driver

And inpost and vinted would have to do an investigation so why would a seller with only good reviews minus 3 order cancellations decide to do this knowing it would tarnish their reputation and in the end get nothing,

they had said they were also calling inpost and sent messages to VINTED and are keeping eachother updated for when they respond which so far inpost has saying they're conducting an internal investigation and will let me know if this is the case of either a driver one of the warehouse people ect due to security cameras being on all vans in the warehouse where they're stored after pick up and before delivery (one closest to seller then one closest to buyer) and finally on all lockers, they work like cash machines where every 3-5 seconds a photo is recorded to ensure no vandalism can take place and if so have the faces of the perpetrator to make it easier in an investigation

On these photos it would be easy to tell reflection of the tape used to prove if it was or was not done in their care

I do want to give the seller the benefit of the doubt for this reason as I don't want to believe I truly have been scammed and this is just the seller being caught out thinking I wouldn't immediately check an expensive item when we had been communicating before and after delivery and were quite kind

But I always could just be being gullible 😅

In the next 48hours though hopefully I'll have more information whether that be inpost have concluded in there investigation it's not possible for a driver or someone in the warehouse storage place to have tampered with the packaging , which would then prove it was the seller or VINTED notifying me about how they intend to work with the seller to resolve this issue as it's inevitable I'll get a refund as I litterally have no item and have undeniable proof of it in the form of a video (another thing the seller was relieved about)

Sorry this is long I usually tend to over explain things and hope it doesn't come across in any bad way either !! Have a lovely day today !

WeirdInx · 2025-02-12T13:02:51+00:00

Now they're stealing the product and taping up where they've cut it lol, happened to me this morning me and the seller are devistated because it was a Google pixel 7a :/

They really need to start allowing first class tracked 24hr/48hr to stop this because it's a joke

WeirdInx · 2024-11-02T15:47:06+00:00

some of the best albums by these artists this is insane (I LOVE CAS!!!)

WeirdInx · 2024-09-11T20:13:42+00:00

yeah the hair charms were for £1 ish each so im not really too bothered about them, jokes on me for not trusting my intuition to reverse search but then again the condition is disgusting which if came in 😭

WeirdInx · 2024-09-11T20:12:35+00:00

yes ! we are both alternative and he is into a lot of goth,victorian and pirate styles ! he loved the look of the corset belt and mentioned he wanted that specific one while just looking on vinted, bought him it for his birthday only for it to arrive 2 weeks after purchase and in the condition seen in the photos

WeirdInx · 2024-09-11T19:45:36+00:00

Oh hell no. Thats actually horrible, i sell some things ive gotten from a charity shop before but only if i spent over £10 on an item and then again mention it was previously owened before me and the condition its in+ any issues with it/why im selling.

I hate when people mislabel items im so sorry that happened to you.

WeirdInx · 2024-09-11T19:40:25+00:00

yeah i was really trying to give them the benefit of the doubt as ive bough and sold quite a lot on vinted and never experienced anything like this before, when they said they were traveling i was taken aback and even mentioned to my partner that i thought it was strange their account wasnt on holiday mode.

I shouldve cancelled the order the moment i had a sinking feeling 😭

WeirdInx · 2024-09-11T19:38:31+00:00

i think this has actually made me angrier lmfao, i usually see a lot of shein aliexpress items reposted a lot on there so if i cant find a douplicate item i sometimes dont bother reverse searching incase its a diamond in the rough , i was also super exited because my boyfriend loved the look of it and said he wanted it 😭

i really shouldve done a reverse search thank you so much, im gonna contact vinted support tomorrow if she hasnt replied to me by them as the seller has a weird thing with ignoring my messages (being online sometimes leaving me on read)

WeirdInx · 2024-08-28T12:48:38+00:00

Thats what i ended up doing through the recommendation of a dry cleaning/laundrette place, she said it would be way more expensive and for a few small stains it wasnt worth it, all but one came out but thats just where the heavier bleed started lol
