Vinted are the leader in pre-loved fashion and have turned the concept of marketplace selling on its head by allowing the seller to receive the full payment for their goods – no fees and allowing the buyer the final choice of carrier as they pay for the shipping and buyer protection. It’s been a long journey of 3 years to finally make this happen and as every person in Royal Mail knows you cannot do this by yourself, we have a brilliant team working with us to deliver this, with colleagues from all areas of the business involved!
