‘What are you doing?’ Woman exclaims as she shows what her Vinted parcel arrived in leaving the postman in hysterics
A WOMAN has been left horrified after collecting her Vinted parcel which left her postman in hysterics.
It seems that Vinted sellers are finding creative ways to package their goods and Daisi, from the UK, was the latest victim.

In the clip, Daisi clearly looked fed up as she explained her Vinted package had just been delivered.
She said: “I don’t know where to start with this, but I’m just gonna show you the bag.
“This is my Vinted order, I ordered earrings from Vinted.
“What are you doing?” she asked the seller.
she then showed off the bag her earrings had come in which was a now empty package which was once filled with sanitary towels.
“It came in period pad packaging and it wasn’t even Always Ultra brand…” she wrote.
To make it even worse, the delivery man who handed it over to her was in hysterics the whole time.
“The guy delivering this was laughing at me,” she continued.
“What are you doing? Why are you doing this? What was in that mind of yours?” she exclaimed clearly unhappy with the packaging used.
Despite being mortified by the packaging she did reveal that the earrings were in perfect condition, so all is not lost.
The clip posted to her TikTok account @daisipinki with over 440k views and 22k likes.
People were quick to take to the comments to share their thoughts, while many were grossed out by the packaging, some didn’t see the problem with it.
One person wrote: “Vinted sellers are unhinged.”
Another commented: “I’ve never been bothered about what my stuff come in but that takes the biscuit.”
“I thought this was inside the mailing bag… they sent it RAW like this in the post,” penned a third.
Why I hate Vinted, a real-life view
Fabulous Associate Editor Sarah Barns opens up on why she hates Vinted:
It’s the king of second-hand fashion but I hate Vinted.
There I said it. Yes, it stops items going into landfill. Yes, it helps create additional side-hustle income for many.
And yes, you can get things at bargain prices. But it is just not my (shopping) bag.
From personal experience, I’ve bought ‘cheap’ bundles of children’s clothes only for them to arrive dirty and misshapen.
Plus, with postage and buyer protection they didn’t feel like such a great deal. I much prefer going to my local charity shop or supermarket for kids’ stuff.
I’ve also bought more premium high-street items – a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos – only to find they didn’t fit properly and the colours were faded.
I attempted a bout of selling stuff but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone to Royal Mail.
A major gripe with it is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I’m not sure I needed the items I did purchase, I just didn’t want to miss out.
Also, the reselling of fast-fashion items – a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 – makes me feel a bit queasy.
Clothes shopping has become a daily hobby for a lot of people when really it should be something that’s done once or twice a year as a necessity.
But the 18 million Vinted app users clearly disagree with me.
Meanwhile many claimed they didn’t see the problem with the packaging, a fourth said: “As long as they have arrived safely I don’t see the problem!”
“It’s just a bag! I’m not sure what the problem is,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “I mean it is packaged, I do like the creativity.”
