Any Vinted sellers or Retail Staff?

Hello, looking to see a range on opinions here. I sell a fair amount of stuff on Vinted, not every day but it ticks over. I have a lot of stuff, sell for family etc.

Inpost is the holy grail, package it up, down to the locker job done Grin

However... not everyone uses Inpost so Yodel it is, the problem I have is the staff at the shop I post the yodel packages, they are local to me but I don't use the shop unless I'm sending yodel packages. At the beginning of the year it was so bad with the rolling eyes and attitude from the staff that I bought a printer so I could print my own labels, saving them the extra couple of minutes to print a label.

I'm still met with huffing when I go in with packages, which is no more than 3 at a time, twice a week, with the labels on the packaging which have never not scanned etc.

Vinted sellers - have you come across this?

Retail staff - is this the worst thing a customer can do to ruin your day?

@Ollybob - I don't want to take the option off then it limits sales. There is another shop further away that I could use also

I’d imagine they get paid as otherwise they would all use one that does.

@RandomUsernameHere so the shop does get paid by yodel?

Our local is Evri and they are lovely. I mean they get 25p per parcel for just basically having a storage space and a printer plugged in while running their shop. Easy cash.

I'd take off the yodel option in vinted settings or go to a different shop tbh.
I'm sure yodel pay per parcel but suspect it's only pennies.
The retailers have yodel etc in the hope that you will buy something whilst you're in there, they don't do it out of kindness, although either way they should still give good customer service.

@Gizlotsmum of course I could do that but I still want to sell and yodel is some buyers only option.

The guy who works in my local Yodel shop is lovely so I haven’t experienced this, but don’t feel bad about using the service they offer! The shop gets paid by Yodel, it’s not as if they are doing it for free.

You can deselect some delivery option in your posts

@FrogsLoveRain interesting I wondered also if they got paid for the service. Also I do buy when I'm in not every time

The yodel drop off place for me is uninterested but not to the point of eye rolling and being impolite. I guess they don’t get much profit for each parcel? @BeRoseSlothwith Vinted selling it’s the buyer who chooses the delivery method not the seller.

@BeRoseSloth so I can use Evri for EBay but for some reason not for Vinted, I have all the postage options ticked green on my Vinted profile but Evri is never an option 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have everything but the InPost lockers switched off and unavailable now. The shops are too much like hard work.

FrogsLoveRain · 02/04/2025 19:28

I buy the odd newspaper, chocolate bar and lottery ticket when I post my yodel parcels. But more often than not I don't buy anything.

Never been made to feel bad. And they need to print the labels.

I always presumed the newsagent had a commission from yodel...

TwistedWonder · 02/04/2025 19:28

No never and Ive bought and sold over 500 items on Vinted. The staff in both my Yodel and Evri drop off ships are very polite and chatty.

Your drop off shop has a staff attitude problem. It’s literally their job to deal with parcels.

BeRoseSloth · 02/04/2025 19:25

Evri is so easy. Can you use that? You just print off the label at the terminal in the store, hand it in to the assistant who gives you a receipt. Job done.

Star81 · 02/04/2025 19:22

My yodel shop guys are lovely, always have a laugh when in and I don’t usually shop there.
