Postage is simple too: just enter your barcode from the Post Office so that Vinted can track your parcel and keep you updated on its whereabouts.

All you need to do then is print off the postage label supplied via email, box up your unwanted items and post them for free using their designated courier service. Once your items have been received and checked, you’ll get your payment the next day!
