Any way to sell on vinted without leaving the house

Mintedbyvinted · 25/07/2025 09:37

I started selling on vinted yesterday and sold a few things immediately. Then I realised I have to go 2 different shops because of the options buyers chose.

I have chronic pain and going out like this and standing and waiting in a queue (always queues) is the type of thing to cause me pain (and uses a huge amount of energy for me) and I try and avoid.

I have no idea! Is Vinted only simple for the able bodied?

There are loads of services that will collect parcels from you then deliver them on to your buyer, you just need to find one that works for your location and then set your vintner account so that’s the chosen delivery service, and there’s no option.

Depends on your local shops. My local does evri, Inpost, yodel, dpd and Royal Mail so I don’t have to faff about going to different shops
maybe set your postage settings to Inpost only so you only have to go to a locker where there’s rarely a queue

You can set in the settings what options the buyers can choose from for delivery, a couple of the options are collection ones (Royal Mail for example - although I think you have to pay 30p for them to collect). You need to go through and disable any you don't want before you make any more sales.

Change what delivery options you have set up. Royal Mail will collect. And also look for lockers nearby, In Post, Royal Mail and Evri all have them. These rarely have queues and you can sit in the car until they're free if needed

I always use royal mail to collect stuff from me

Thank-you so much everyone, I will look into all this. Sounds like there is hope!

I’m the same. I’ve set it now to only in post and there’s a really local inpost box thing near my house that I can park right next to if need be xx

Go into your settings, there's an option for postage types. Would lockers be more accessible to you? You can often park very close to them, and you don't need to queue or talk to anyone. There is a door-to-door service but it can be more expensive for the buyer I believe. You could offer that option, and then enable the locker option if the buyer asks maybe? But it could be off-putting to them.

Go into your settings on Vinted and you can uncheck certain postage options that you don’t want to be used by the buyer.
