Anyone else having problems? In summer sent item via Royal mail 48 hour tracked tracking said a delivery date of a month. Buyer never received. Just done another delivery same thing. Something off here.
I've taken Royal mail off my options now. If not delivered will get a refund from Vinted but only for sale price the item is worth tons more

I find Royal Mail the most reliable of all the courier options on Vinted tbh.

I don't understand your last sentence though, obviously you don't get refunded more than the sale price, how have you lost out there?

Agree, if you've sold something cheap it's the buyer who has lost out, not you. The only disadvantage to the seller is having to wait so long before getting paid. But the buyer has already paid, doesn't get their item and has to wait a really long time before getting a refund.

This happened to me on Vinted recently as the buyer. But I use Vinted in the EU and the carrier was Mondial Relay. I do think some carriers are more reliable than others though.

Shoes are LK Bennett sold for £75 but for me to replace them would cost me £200.

Tracking just details my taking them to the post office. And delivery could be between 15 Sept and 15 Oct. It was a 48 hour delivery.

But you wouldn't be replacing them for £200 because you have sold them for £75.

I know it's annoying but just keep your proof of postage and you'll still get paid. It's more annoying for the buyer. You decided that £75 was worth more to you than those shoes, and you will still get your £75. The buyer will also get their £75 back, but they wanted the shoes more than they wanted their £75.
