Woman buys from Vinted but is floored when item arrives in 'baffling' packaging
A woman shared a video of the package in which her Vinted order arrived, prompting others to share the most bizarre items they've received or sent their items in When you're receiving goods from the general public rather than a reputable business, it may mean you receive some quirkily wrapped items, so sellers can maximise their profits from apps such as Vinted. That's why one woman was left dumbfounded when she saw what her parcel had been sent in. This often means that instead of using a bag, which could set someone back around £8 for a multi-pack on Amazon, Vinted items are dispatched in an assortment of unusual containers. When Jen, who shares her experiences on Instagram as @cuteandperfectalways, went to retrieve her parcel from an InPost locker, she was left with a fresh sense of "perspective" due to the seller's unusual choice of packaging. As she opened the locker, she captioned her video: "Life just isn't that serious. My Vinted parcel, for example, arrived in the form of breadsticks." She displayed the rather battered box of breadsticks housing the item she'd purchased, sparking a wave of comments sharing the strangest ways people had received their second-hand goods or had sent them out themselves. One woman confessed: "I sent a book in a cut-up Weetabix box, so I get it". "I was reusing Easter egg boxes at one point," a Vinted seller revealed. Parcel delivery tales have taken a quirky turn. One person revealed they received a package in a "cat food box," while another was left feeling exposed when their purchase arrived wrapped only in cling film. "Mine came in a holey Oreo box once," divulged a woman, and another recounted how a T-shirt they bought turned up in "a Ferrero Rocher box. "The tape at the top is holding on for dear life," a user quipped, sparking laughter online. Some defended the Vinted sender's choice to repurpose packaging, with comments like: "Upcycle, like who cares as long as your item isn't covered in breadcrumbs or something. "Reduce, reuse, recycle," chimed in an eco-conscious shopper, endorsing the sustainable approach. However, not all upcycling attempts are successful, as one buyer lamented: "A ceramic candle I'd ordered arrived in a Frazzles Crisp packet. The candle, strangely enough, had not survived the journey," because it had smashed to pieces due to the lack of protection it had been given. Others embraced the trend, joking that "upcycling is so cool," and expressing their eagerness to try it out themselves next time they sell an item on the app. "I am not ready for my building to judge me for it [getting sent parcels in random containers], so I opt for 'collect' instead of home delivery. One day I'll grow up," confessed a self-aware shopper.

'I searched on Vinted for books and was floored by prices'
Books are cool and popular again, but with that has come an increase in prices over recent years. Many hardbacks cost upwards of £20, so it can be hard to keep up with buying books without bankrupting yourself. A lot of the time, you may see people doing hauls on Bookstagram and Booktok of their charity shop finds, but when you have a look, there are only beat-up copies of books that remind you of your English Literature A Level, so you leave them on the shelf. Surely there's somewhere else you can get your books from? Somewhere where the books are of good quality, and affordable at the same time? I devour plenty of books per month – and paying £100 for five new books feels incredibly steep. However, if it's something I really want, I can often justify it under the guise of supporting an author. Recently, though, I've been having a little browse on Vinted more than usual. I've managed to bag myself some serious bargains - from Never Fully Dressed jeans, brand new with tags for £20 (should be £99) and a Fiorucci bag for £35 (should be £150). I've been on a roll. I was curious whether this bargain-hunting could expand into my favourite thing in the world - books, and I was so shocked. I feel as though you have to know what you want before you type it into the search bar. If you just type in 'books,' you'll be sifting through who knows what. Before you know it, a couple of hours will have elapsed and you'll have impulsively bought 10 books you'll probably never even look at. Now, it's not easy to train the algorithm, but once you've searched enough specific books, it'll start showing you the things that you really are interested in. A word of warning, though. Sadly, much like with anything else super popular, there are some Vinted sellers that are total chancers, doubling the price of special editions, for example. This really sucks, but there's nothing you can do about it, so just leave them to it and scroll on. I, for example, saw someone selling the 'Windy City' series for £35, and at first glance, it seems like a bargain. But when you add the buyer protection fee and the almost £5 postage because it's books (I wish I had a closer InPost locker than a 35-minute walk away to make it cheaper) it all adds up and I could get them cheaper, or a similar price, if I bought them from a bookstore. However, don't lose hope, as there are some serious bargains if you look. It does no harm to send people offers as well – as you never know, they may just get accepted. For example, I managed to get Lucy Score's 'Knockemout' three-book series, which has seriously glowing reviews on social and Goodreads, for just £7. Brand new, never taken out of the box, spines completely intact. The set on Amazon is £25, so I bagged a real bargain there. Also, someone was selling their Butterfly Book Club signed, sprayed edges, character art end pages, special edition of Love and Curse Making, which, again, has really good reviews. I favourited it when it was £15, considering making the purchase at a later date. They then reduced the price to £10, so I very cheekily offered £7. They rejected it, but I left it a couple of days and went back in with an £8 offer, and they accepted. If the price is crazy cheap, like £7 for a series, I feel like you should just buy it. But if there's haggling to be done, keep that in mind. Most of all, be polite, be respectful, and if someone rejects your offer, take it on the chin and consider how badly you actually want the items. So what are you waiting for? Book lovers should get out there and get haggling!
