Vinted UK postage: sizes, carriers and packaging that avoid disputes

Postage is where new UK sellers lose money and reviews. Pick the right tier once, package properly, and drop off the same day.

Short answer

On Vinted UK the buyer pays postage. Your job is to enable the parcel sizes and drop-off carriers you can realistically use, then post fast with the label Vinted generates.

Two rules avoid almost every dispute: weigh before you list, and keep the drop-off receipt until the order is completed.

Parcel sizes, in real items

  • Small (up to ~1kg): t-shirts, jeans, dresses, single knitwear.
  • Medium (up to ~2kg): coats, trainers in box, two to three garments.
  • Large (up to ~5kg): bundles, boots, thick winter outerwear.
  • Under-selling the size is the classic mistake — the carrier can refuse or surcharge.

Evri, InPost or Yodel drop-off

Enable every option with a drop-off point within walking distance of you: more choices means fewer abandoned baskets. InPost lockers are the most convenient for small parcels and are open late; Evri and Yodel shops cover larger boxes.

Packaging that protects your rating

  • Grey polymailers for clothes, taped along every seam.
  • Wrap trainers or fragile items in tissue, then a box.
  • Cover the old label if you reuse a box.
  • Add a short handwritten note — it demonstrably lifts five-star reviews.

Timing and proof

Post within 24 hours, photograph the receipt and the QR code, and message the buyer when it is dropped off. If a parcel goes missing, that proof is what makes Buyer Protection settle in your favour.

Answering shipping questions before they cost you the sale

"Does this include postage?", "Can you send tomorrow?", "Will it fit a small parcel?" — these arrive at all hours and decide the sale. Revindo answers them on Vinted in your own tone from your Mac or PC, so questions do not sit unread overnight.

Frequently asked questions

Who pays postage on Vinted UK?

The buyer pays postage, on top of the item price and Buyer Protection. As a seller you only choose which carriers and parcel sizes you accept.

Which Vinted UK parcel size should I pick?

Small covers most single clothing items under 1kg, medium fits coats or two to three items, large is for bundles and boots. Weigh a typical parcel once and enable every tier you can genuinely post.

How long do I have to post a Vinted order?

You have five working days, but posting within 24 hours is what earns the five-star reviews that convert future buyers.

What if the parcel is lost?

As long as you shipped with the Vinted label and kept the drop-off receipt, Buyer Protection covers the claim. Always scan or photograph the receipt.

Does Revindo handle postage?

Revindo does not print labels. It handles listings, pricing, relisting and buyer replies on Vinted — including the shipping questions buyers ask before they commit.
