Shoe sale-Vinted

Help!
Just started selling on Vinted. I have sold 2 pairs of shoes! Just realised I have no shoe boxes. I have sold a pair of trainers and some high-heeled ankle boots. Can you buy boxes anywhere? I didn't really expect to get a sale so quickly. Any advice gratefully received. Thank you!

You don't need to box them up! I've ordered boots/shoes and they didn't arrive in a box. Just in a normal parcel bag/shopping bag/bin bag - anything goes 😊

Handy if you have any bubble wrap or tissue paper to put some round first, just for a bit of cushioning.

I'd bubble wrap or similar then put into a bag.

I have a pile of plain self seal bags just for Vinted sales. Also, if you've not sold before my advice is to film or photograph each stage of the packing - to show the condition of the item and the way in which you packaged it. Saves for arguments if the recipient makes claims about damage in transit etc.

I get boxes from supermarkets- some of the wine boxes are great for things like shoes!
Bubble wrap/paper wrap carefully too

I’ve never received footwear from Vinted or eBay in a box. Just wrap them to protect them and stick them in a bag.

Thank you all! I'll get the hang of this soon, I'm sure. Ordered some bubble wrap so I'll be ready to go by Monday!
