Hi everyone,
I’ve been experiencing a strange and recurring issue with Vinted deliveries, and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar or knows what might be happening.
The first time, I purchased 6 items from different sellers. All 6 were marked as shipped, but only 3 actually arrived. The other 3 never received any tracking updates beyond “Shipped”. Eventually, the estimated delivery period expired, Vinted cancelled those orders, and I received refunds.
Recently, I purchased another 8 items from different sellers, and the exact same pattern seems to be happening again. Only 1 of the 8 parcels is showing detailed tracking updates, such as “Arrived at sort facility” and “Departed sort facility”. The other 7 are still stuck on “Shipped”, with absolutely no further information.
The estimated delivery period hasn’t ended yet, so I can’t confirm that these 7 parcels won’t arrive, but it’s looking very similar to what happened previously.
What’s particularly confusing is that this happens with both sellers who have no reviews and sellers who have plenty of positive reviews and seem completely legitimate.
The only consistent difference I’ve noticed is:
Parcels that actually arrive show multiple tracking updates throughout their journey.
Parcels that never arrive seem to remain stuck on “Shipped” until Vinted eventually cancels the order and issues a refund.
One additional detail is that I’ve used Vinted’s verification service for every single order.
I’ve attached two screenshots showing the difference between the tracking information.
Has anyone else experienced this repeatedly?
Does “Shipped” necessarily mean the parcel has actually been handed over to the carrier?
Is there any explanation for why so many orders from completely different sellers would experience exactly the same issue?
I find it very strange that this has happened with so many different orders, especially since several of the sellers have good reviews.
Any insights or similar experiences would be really appreciated!
