Vinted shipping rates by weight bracket (indicative)
Vinted doesn't publish a single fixed price list: the amount shown to the buyer depends on the carrier they select, the weight bracket you declared, and any ongoing promotions. The ranges below reflect rates commonly seen for sellers based in France; the exact price appears at checkout.
| Weight bracket | Pickup point | Home delivery | Example items |
|---|---|---|---|
| ≤ 500 g | €2 – 3.50 | €4 – 6 | T-shirt, top, accessory |
| 0.5 – 1 kg | €3 – 4.50 | €5 – 7 | Jeans, jumper, dress |
| 1 – 2 kg | €4 – 5.50 | €6 – 8 | Light coat, sneakers |
| 2 – 5 kg | €5 – 8 | €8 – 11 | Puffer jacket, bundle of 3-4 items |
| 5 – 20 kg | €8 – 14 | €12 – 20 | Large bundle, home textiles |
Useful reading for a seller: between the ≤ 500 g bracket and the 1 – 2 kg bracket, the buyer often pays €2 more. On a €10 item, that €2 can be the difference between a sale and an abandoned cart — which is why it pays to pack as tightly as possible rather than oversizing the box.
Maximum dimensions and weight by delivery method
| Delivery method | Dimensions | Weight | Typical delay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pickup point (Mondial Relay, Relais Colis…) | Sum of L + W + H often ≤ 150 cm | Up to 20 kg | 3 – 5 business days |
| Vinted Go locker — S | ≈ 8 x 38 x 64 cm | Small items | 3 – 5 business days |
| Vinted Go locker — M | ≈ 19 x 38 x 64 cm | Medium volume | 3 – 5 business days |
| Vinted Go locker — L | ≈ 41 x 38 x 64 cm | Large volume / bundle | 3 – 5 business days |
| Home delivery (Colissimo, Chronopost…) | Depends on carrier | Up to 20 – 30 kg | 2 – 4 business days |
Vinted Go lockers impose the strictest constraint: if the parcel doesn't fit the size the buyer chose, the drop-off fails and you have to go back to a pickup point instead. Measure the closed parcel, not the folded garment.
What the seller actually controls
- The declared weight and format — and therefore the price bracket offered.
- Any shipping discount, full or partial.
- How quickly you drop off the parcel, the one delivery factor buyers blame you for.
- The clarity of the listing: a realistic weight avoids disputes at drop-off.
The margin math to do before offering free shipping
Take a pair of jeans bought for €4 secondhand and sold for €22. Without a shipping discount, your gross margin is €18. Offer €3.50 of free shipping and it drops to €14.50 — a 19% margin cut for a conversion gain that's hard to measure precisely. The simple rule: only offer free shipping above roughly €20 in selling price, or on a bundle.
Declaring the right weight
- T-shirt, top: ≤ 500 g.
- Jeans, thick jumper: 500 g – 1 kg.
- Coat, puffer jacket, pair of sneakers: 1 – 2 kg.
- Multi-item bundle: weigh it, don't guess.
Always weigh the parcel packed: the mailer, box and tape add 50 to 300 g, which is enough to push you into the next bracket. A kitchen scale is all you need.
Packing without tipping into the next weight bracket
Packaging often decides the final price. A plastic mailer weighs 10 to 30 g, a double-wall cardboard box 200 to 400 g: on a 480 g parcel of clothing, the box alone can push you into the next bracket and cost the buyer €1 to €2 more.
- Folded, non-fragile clothing: use the lightest opaque mailer bag you have.
- Shoes: only keep the box if the buyer specifically asks — a mailer otherwise.
- Fragile items: reused bubble wrap rather than bulky padding.
- Reuse a box, but remove or cross out any old shipping label.
Tracking the parcel and reassuring the buyer
Tracking appears in the Vinted conversation once the carrier scans the parcel, usually a few hours after drop-off — not instantly. Tracking that doesn't move for 24 to 48 hours is normal, especially over a weekend.
- Keep your proof of drop-off: it's what protects you if the parcel is lost.
- Set the buyer's expectations for the longer end of the delay as soon as you sell: a warned buyer doesn't open a dispute.
- If the parcel is stuck for more than 7 days, it's up to the buyer to flag it via the order; Buyer Protection then takes over.
- For shipments outside France, allow 5 to 10 business days and say so in the listing. See selling abroad for details.

Pricing with an estimate
The right price factors in shipping, any fees and your purchase cost: run that sum to know your floor price. Revindo estimates a selling price from your past sales (without a sales history, it labels it a plain estimate) and explains it; if an item stalls, you decide on the drop.
Frequently asked questions
Who pays shipping costs on Vinted?
The buyer pays for shipping by default. The seller can choose to cover all or part of it with a shipping discount, which noticeably increases the conversion rate on smaller items.
How much does Vinted shipping cost in France?
The price depends on the declared weight and the carrier the buyer chooses. For a pickup point, expect roughly €2 to €5 up to 2 kg, €5 to €8 up to 5 kg, and €8 to €12 beyond that. Home delivery usually costs €1 to €3 more. The exact amount is shown to the buyer at checkout.
What weight should I declare for a Vinted parcel?
Declare the weight of the packed parcel, not just the garment. A T-shirt falls in the ≤ 500 g bracket, a pair of jeans or a thick jumper between 500 g and 1 kg, a coat or a pair of sneakers between 1 and 2 kg. Under-declaring risks a refusal at drop-off or an extra charge.
What are the maximum dimensions for a Vinted parcel?
At a pickup point, the sum of length + width + height is usually capped (often 150 cm) and the weight at 20 kg, depending on the carrier. For a Vinted Go locker, the parcel must fit the chosen size: roughly 8 x 38 x 64 cm for S, 19 x 38 x 64 cm for M and 41 x 38 x 64 cm for L.
How can I get free shipping on Vinted?
Either the seller applies a shipping discount, or you take advantage of a Vinted promotion (free shipping above a certain amount). As a seller, offering free shipping is really a price cut, so work out your net margin first.
Can I change the delivery method after the purchase?
Not as a seller. The delivery method is set by the buyer at checkout. If there's a mistake, the only clean fix is to cancel the transaction and have the buyer purchase again.
How is shipping cost calculated?
Based on the declared weight, the parcel's size and the carrier the buyer selects. Declaring too low a weight risks an extra charge or a refusal at drop-off.
Does shipping count against my margin?
Yes, as soon as you cover any part of it yourself. Net margin = selling price − purchase cost − shipping you covered − any fees.
