Society has changed a lot with the arrival of the internet, and although today the image and perception that others have of us is very important (because of social networks). This makes what you wear increasingly important, but the high price of brands compared to a decade ago has led to the rise of two trends.
On the one hand, the world of counterfeits and imitations has grown enormously, with apps that everyone uses today like Hacoo, but it has also led to the rise of second-hand products, and much of this boost has come from given Vinted.
Vinted is an online platform for buying and selling second-hand clothing and items between users. It’s like a big virtual flea market where you can find everything from vintage clothing to new tagged items with reduced prices, where users sell and buy from other people from anywhere in the world.
If you have just started in this world of Vinted, and you have just made your first sale but you don’t know what to do, in this article we are going to explain the steps to follow to send a package within this platform.
How to send a Vinted package
There are several aspects to take into account, but the first thing you should do is prepare the package:
1. Package preparation
- Proper packaging: Choose a sturdy box or envelope that fits the size of the item. Protect the contents with packaging materials such as bubble wrap, foam or kraft paper. Make sure the item is securely fastened to avoid damage during transportation.
- shipping label: When a sale is confirmed, Vinted generates a prepaid shipping label. You will receive this label for email and in your Vinted inbox. Print it and paste it securely in the package, making sure the barcode is readable.
- Correct address: Verify that the buyer’s address on the label is correct and complete.
2. Shipping options
Vinted offers different shipping options through its collaborating parcel companies (such as Correos, Mondial Relay, Punto Pack, etc.). The buyer chooses the shipping option they prefer when making the purchase.
- Delivery points: You can take your package to a nearby delivery point associated with the selected parcel company. Find the nearest point on the parcel company’s website or app.
- Home pickup: Some parcel companies offer the option of home collection. Schedule the collection through the company’s website or app.
3. Package shipping
- Shipping time: You have a period of 5 business days from the date of purchase to send the item. If you do not do so, the order will be automatically canceled.
- Package delivery: Deliver the package to the delivery point or to the courier of the parcel company. Keep the shipping receipt they give you.
- Shipment tracking: You can track the status of the shipment through the tracking code provided on the shipping label. Both you and the buyer can track the package on the parcel company’s website or app.
