A WOMAN has claimed to have found the “rudest” Vinted seller ever – and the “unhinged” messages are sure to leave you gobsmacked.
Rachel Hutchinson, a mother from the UK, buys and sells items on the secondhand marketplace app, but was recently left lost for words after she was pestered numerous times to collect her parcel, just 24 hours after it arrived at the collection point.
Shocked by the jaw-dropping messages she received from the Vinted user, Rachel took to social media to share screenshots of the conversation, leaving many totally stunned.
Posting online, the mother gasped: “This has got to be the rudest person I have ever spoken to in my life on Vinted.
“I felt sorry for her, because she’s obviously filled with that hatred inside her. She was so p****d off at me for not collecting this parcel within 48 hours.”
Rachel then explained why she didn’t immediately collect her parcel, as she recognised: “Now I’m sorry but I have my girls two of the days. I went one of the days, I forgot my ID.
“The first day I went, they hadn’t sorted the parcels out.
“I didn’t realise that Satan was on the other end of Vinted.
“When I have got my children, I am not doing anything else but spending time with them. I don’t go on my phone much, I don’t film any content, I like to be with them, so my nights aren’t going to be wasted telling them they can’t go to the park because we’ve got to pick up a parcel. I’ll do that on the days I don’t have them.
“My parcel arrived 24 hours before this first message.”
The first message from the angry seller, who sold Rachel a pair of black trainers for just £6, read: ‘Hi I would really appreciate it if you could collect today.’
Moments later, that same day, another message popped up which read: ‘I can appreciate being busy but this is getting silly now. Feedback will reflect this.’
Rachel didn’t reply to the messages, but the following day was hit with a barrage of abuse.
The following morning, Rachel received a message that read: ‘Actually you know what, don’t. Let it come back to me, l’ve had enough of this now.
‘You are clearly playing some kind of weird game and will probably find fault with the shoes.’
The angry Vinted seller then went on to accuse: ‘What’s it gonna be, busy at work? Granny had a fall? I’m really curious!
‘Why buy stuff off Vinted if you aren’t going to collect it? Do you actually enjoy wasting people’s time?’

Rachel confirmed that she was “busy” and “didn’t know that it was going to be a problem” that she hadn’t collected the parcel within the first two days.
On Vinted, the collection window for parcels at pick-up points is typically between seven and 10 days, depending on the carrier.
While InPost usually allow three days, Evri and Yodel often allow 10 days.
If a parcel isn’t collected within the specified time, it will be returned to the sender.
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.
Stunned by the rude and threatening remarks, Rachel responded to the seller to explain why she hadn’t yet been able to collect the parcel.
But to this, the Vinted seller accused her of being ‘very weird’ and suggested she was ‘playing some kind of game’.
In response, Rachel expressed her shock at the situation, as she confirmed: “I let people that buy from me take however long they want [to pick parcels up].
“I understand they’ve got other commitments than just picking the parcel up.”
At the time of writing, the TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @rachmariex, had clearly left many open-mouthed, as it had quickly racked up 80,200 views, 1,392 likes and 137 comments.
Social media users were stunned by Rachel’s Vinted experience and many took to the comments to express this.
Tbh you should of picked it up sooner, you never know people might be waiting for that money to eat
TikTok user
One person gasped: “Can you report them to Vinted? They are unhinged.”
Another added: “Completely unhinged response.”
A third commented: “People on Vinted are feral.”
Meanwhile, someone else agreed: “Savage, think she needs a hug.”
QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted...
But at the same time, others claimed that they understood the sellers’ frustration at Rachel not collecting the parcel.
One woman wrote: “Tbh you should of picked it up sooner, you never know people might be waiting for that money to eat… In reality it would of taken at least half and hour.”
A second chimed in: “Not picking stuff up really irritates me. For Bigger Vinted sellers it’s annoying. The messages were a bit strong but she is right when she says, don’t buy if you can’t collect. You could have walked to get parcel with kids then to the park.”
Meanwhile, another Vinted seller recognised: “It’s annoying when people take forever to collect.”

A THRIFTY woman has left people open-mouthed with her epic bathroom glow-up on a budget.
With the costs soaring, millions of cash-strapped Brits are looking for inspiration to make their homes go from drab to fab without forking out thousands.
If you’re one of them, you’ve come to the right place, as one DIY fan, Amy Elizabeth Carter, recently shared her jaw-dropping bathroom makeover.
Amy took to the popular DIY On A Budget Official page where she proved there’s no need to spend a fortune to give your home a brand new look.
Before the epic transformation, the bathroom looked pretty plain and lacked any character, featuring a basic white bathtub, as well as what appeared to be light brown tile flooring.
But rather than having professionals quote her eye-watering sums, Amy decided to take matters into her own hands – and the glow-up has already become a major hit on Facebook.
The makeover, which cost her just £800, included chic light grey ceramic wall and floor tiles that go for just £4 for a sample at B&Q.
The timeless design instantly enhanced the space with its soft grey tones and versatile style – and according to Amy, she did everything herself.
During the gorgeous DIY makeover, the thrifty woman also attached a round LED mirror onto one of the walls – ideal for doing your make-up or taking a cheeky selfie.
Meanwhile, the black fittings, such as the radiator, went perfect with the brand new shower screen which cost her a little under £180.
Although Amy did pay an expert to colour-match the silicone, everything else was a DIY job – and you wouldn’t be able to tell that by the photos.
”Bathroom on a budget,” the Facebook user proudly wrote in the caption, as dozens flooded to comments.
Close to 40 people shared their thoughts, as more than 100 gave the post a like.
One mum praised the young woman, writing: ”Looks beautiful. I’ve just had money done and looks nearly the same.
”I only painted tho lol as a newly single mum and had the bath ripped out and a large shower cubicle put in for my teen.

A 23-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested by Leicestershire Police on suspicion of murder after a woman died.
The woman in her 50s was allegedly assaulted after a road traffic collision – and has since sadly died.
On June 24 just after 5:30pm, Leicestershire Police were called to a road traffic accident after a vehicle overturned.
The driver was seen leaving the vehicle before assaulting a woman near Leicester Royal Infirmary.
She was left with life threatening injuries, and later died on June 26.
He was detained at the scene and arrested by police.
The original charges were: suspicion of attempted murder, possession with intent to supply class B drugs, assault of an emergency worker, dangerous driving, driving while unfit through drugs and failing to provide a specimen.
He has since been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody.
Police have asked anyone with information, or with dash cam footage of the vehicle or subsequent assault, to come forward.
Detective Inspector Emma Matts, from East Midlands Special Operations Unit Murder Investigation team said: “This woman was sadly subjected to a serious assault and was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries. Her family and close friends have remained at her bedside and tragically she died this afternoon.
“Since the incident, a dedicated team of detectives have worked tirelessly pursuing all lines of enquiry to establish the full circumstances around what happened. Those enquiries will very much continue as we now move the incident to a murder investigation.
“I would like to thank those members of the public who have contacted with information about what they saw but I would also still like to appeal to anyone who saw anything connected to this incident or filmed any footage – whether that was of the vehicle being driven beforehand through the city centre, the collision itself or the assault – and hasn’t spoken to officers to please get in touch.”
“Again, if you were driving a vehicle which has a dash cam, please check your vehicle to see if it has captured anything of use to the investigation.
“What you know could still be a crucial piece of information so please do not hesitate to pass that on.”
IT was not unexpected but that did not make it any easier.
Ireland boss Carla Ward has never beaten USA boss Emma Hayes, and the Girls in Green have never got a result against the USA.
So a 4-0 loss in Denver in the first of two games against the Olympic champions is no shock, nor a disaster.
But that an Ireland team – without key players Katie McCabe, Denise O’Sulivan, Aoife Mannion and Megan Campbell – were thoroughly outclassed is a worry.
These summer games were arranged primarily with a view forwards the October Nations League promotion-relegation play-off with Belgium.
Win that two legged tie against the Red Flames and Ireland go into League A for the World Cup qualifiers; something that makes qualifying that little bit easier.
But Belgium are, on paper, better than Ireland.
So taking on the top class Americans was arranged to prepare; effectively like altitude training in thinner air that you will face in future.
But against the USA, the Girls in Green learnt that it can be tough to breath when the best team in the world are running you ragged.
The statistics said it all. The USA had 26 shots to Ireland’s two, and it would have been greater than 4-0 were it not for stand-in captain Courtney Brosnan, winning her 50th cap.
Ireland were already hanging on before Avery Patterson opened the scoring with a header from a Rose Lavelle corner on 18 minutes.
A second goal arrived in first half stoppage time when Sam Coffey skipped by two defenders before firing home.
And the second half was all-USA and Lavelle got a goal her performance deserved on 53 minutes before Alyssa Thompson added a fourth with a lovely curling effort after beating two Ireland defenders.
Ireland: Brosnan; Stapleton, Patten, Hayes, Mustaki ( Atkinson 90); Connolly, Littlejohn (Toland ht); Murphy ( Noonan 65), Carusa ( Sheva 64), Quinn ( Larkin ht); Barrett ( Healy 75)
