Does Vinted ship internationally? Mostly no. Here is the way round it.

Only between marketplaces it has connected. Each country has its own Vinted, and you normally see and buy from sellers in your own country or in a pool joined to it, such as Germany with Austria. Vinted has also opened UK to US and UK to Australia routes, but both cap the parcel at 2 kg and exclude many categories. Anything outside those arrangements needs an address in the seller's country.

Yes, with a UK address. Take a free Atvido UK address, use it at checkout on vinted.co.uk, and the seller posts to it as a normal domestic delivery. We then forward the parcel to you in more than 200 countries.

The United Kingdom, the United States and Germany, because those are the countries we hold warehouse addresses in. All three are free, they sit on one account, and between them they cover three of Vinted's largest marketplaces.

Home delivery. Most Vinted buyers pick a locker or a parcel shop because it is cheaper — in France it is about three quarters of them — but those labels go to the pickup point rather than to a street address, and our warehouse is a street address. Put your suite code on the address too, so the parcel can be matched to your account.

Watch the clock on this one. Vinted gives you two calendar days from the moment a parcel is marked delivered to report a problem, and delivered means delivered to our warehouse, not to your door. Check the arrival photos in your Atvido account as soon as you are notified and raise anything wrong with Vinted straight away. The window is Vinted's and cannot be extended.

It depends where it is going. Import VAT applies in most countries with no minimum value, and customs duty usually starts above a threshold — €150 of goods in the EU, £135 in the UK. Second-hand clothing is still dutiable. Our duty calculator estimates both before you commit.

Yes, and on Vinted it is the main saving. Buying four items from four sellers means four parcels and four base shipping charges. We hold them free for 30 days, repack them into one box and you pay a single delivery charge.

Some Vinted markets refuse a foreign card or billing address even when the delivery address is local. Our Personal Shopper service buys the item on your behalf with local payment details and forwards it like any other order.

You are buying as a domestic buyer and giving a real delivery address, which is an ordinary transaction. Vinted sets its own terms and changes them, so read its current policies before you buy, and remember that Buyer Protection is measured from delivery to that address.
