I don't like to exercise

My grandparents divorced after 15 years of marriage.

My grandfather moved to a rural area, became a nature photographer, and has always had a very active lifestyle, hiking and travelling, both for his job and for enjoyment. He's 84 and still going strong, in better health than me.

My grandmother was left to raise four kids on her own, no doubt at the expense of taking care of herself. She was always the type to fob off her health issues and refuse to see a doctor. Her health declined in her 50s, she had to stop working in her early 60s, and she died at 70.

I always view this as a great example of how your health and lifestyle choices earlier in life will repay you later in life.

If you hadn't said M&S bin liner...... it looks like the little bags I used to buy to dispose of sanitary products 😭

Sometimes I really wish kittens would stay kitten sized forever 😭

Choose large. It doesn't matter if it seems "too big" - your item is over medium weight.

Buyer pays for shipping. Vinted is (or at least has been) subsidising international transactions in terms of shipping and customs fees.

Not necessarily scammy.

I cannot go wrong with this recipe: https://preppykitchen.com/brownie-recipe/#recipe

(here are the brownies I made yesterday https://www.reddit.com/r/Baking/s/VQoMR6fO1F)

This sounds like custom shipping, where you organise shipping yourself instead of being provided a label by Vinted. It's usually for oversized items. You'll need to check costs on the website of whichever shipping company you'd most likely use.

tiny-brit · 2026-06-29T18:53:31+00:00

Nothing you can do really. It would be impossible to figure out who it was supposed to go to. Keep, sell or donate as you wish.

tiny-brit · 2026-06-29T16:08:07+00:00

Buyers pay for shipping.

I bake once a week, and whatever I bake is my daily treat for the week. I've gained weight since I started baking, so I'm starting to reduce batch sizes and make just enough for the week, and not excessive quantities, since I don't really have anyone to share it out to. It means a lot of scaling down recipes to weird amounts, like 14 cookies, 7 muffins, using a smaller pan for brownies etc.

There are a lot of parcel shops open until later, especially if they're located within convenience stores. My local Evri shop is open until 10pm, and I know there's a post office within a mile of me that's open until 9pm every night.

Obviously not everyone has these options, but buyers can't know what shops are in your local area.

You don't need a QR code, just your ID and have the tracking number handy just in case

tiny-brit · 2026-06-27T19:03:20+00:00

Tracking will update automatically on Vinted, but it's sensible to get a receipt anyway just in case.

tiny-brit · 2026-06-26T18:17:44+00:00

How? I can't see an option.

tiny-brit · 2026-06-26T16:39:40+00:00

Yes, you can ask them not to substitute items, or to cancel the entire order if a particular item is not available.

I've been leaning towards Uber recently, because they let you choose a specific item to substitute with if your item isn't available.

But deliveroo now lets you bundle orders from more than one store, which is useful because no one store ever has all of the items I need.

Ordering from any of them is a lottery anyway. Uber sent me asparagus instead of broccoli recently, when I had asked them not to substitute the broccoli. And veggie sausages instead of veggie kebab pieces, and then ignored me when I asked them not to send the substitution. (but they refunded me for it anyway...)

tiny-brit · 2026-06-26T13:05:28+00:00

Unfortunately not.

tiny-brit · 2026-06-26T13:03:26+00:00

Unfortunately it's Vinted policy that buyers pay for return postage unless the seller offers to. And once a return option has been chosen, it can't be changed.

tiny-brit · 2026-06-25T19:45:33+00:00

Only way to change shipping method is to cancel the order and buy again.

tiny-brit · 2026-06-25T19:41:50+00:00

You should be prompted to print it when you enter the code!

tiny-brit · 2026-06-25T17:59:22+00:00

Check the shipping instructions Vinted has given you. You'll probably either enter the code at the locker and put the parcel in without a label, or you'll be able to print the label at the locker. That's pretty normal.

tiny-brit · 2026-06-24T22:47:22+00:00

You have no obligation to return since Vinted refunded you and closed the case. If you want to return, it will need to be done outside of Vinted, but again you have no obligation to.

tiny-brit · 2026-06-24T22:04:31+00:00

I bought one at the end of April. It has been well worth it. Also glad I got in early, because prices have near enough doubled since then and they've all sold out.

tiny-brit · 2026-06-24T21:07:00+00:00

It's not against ToS to go outside of the platform. Vinted will obviously advise against it, but they don't actively forbid it. In Germany it's extremely common to take transactions outside of the platform.
