Vinted UK Shipping Guide

Vinted handles postage for you. When an item sells, the buyer has already chosen a carrier and paid for delivery, and Vinted puts a label in your app and inbox: a QR code for every carrier, plus a printable PDF for InPost and Evri if you would rather attach it yourself. You have five working days to get the parcel scanned by the carrier; if you cannot make it, request a three- or five-day extension in the app and the buyer decides whether to allow it.

Which carriers a buyer sees depends on the item's size category, where they live and what you have enabled in Settings → Shipping. InPost lockers (15 kg, 41 × 38 × 64 cm) are the default for small clothing; Evri ParcelShops take parcels up to 15 kg and 120 cm long (Evri lockers are smaller, 62 × 57 × 39 cm); Royal Mail is now QR-only and accepts up to 20 kg in its 'heavy' tier. DPD, Relay and AnyVan appear in some regions, and DHL Express handles the UK-to-Australia corridor that opened in 2026.

Two rules trip sellers up. First, the label must be Vinted's: a parcel sent with your own postage is not covered and the order can be cancelled. Second, the size category you pick when listing drives the postage price and the compartment or format the label is issued for, so an oversized parcel can be refused or surcharged at drop-off, and you cannot change the carrier after checkout. Vinted's own protection covers integrated-label orders up to £500, which matters because InPost only covers second-hand items up to £50.
