On Vinted Ireland, the buyer pays for a prepaid label at checkout, for An Post, DPD, DHL Express or Drop2Shop. You must send with that exact label within 5 business days. Post office staff for An Post and Drop2Shop staff can print it for you. DPD and An Post PostPoints need you to print at home.
Compensation applies only when you used the Vinted label, packed the item properly and the carrier confirms the loss or damage. Vinted says investigations can take several weeks. Drop2Shop: Vinted says its labels work within Ireland (Dublin), while the Drop2Shop shop locator lists shops in many counties. Whether a shop outside Dublin accepts a Vinted parcel is not confirmed, so check your Vinted order instructions.
If your order is an An Post one, you do not need a printer. Vinted says you can show the digital label on your phone to a staff member at a post office. Bring the sealed parcel and have the label open on your screen before you reach the counter.
Post office: digital label on your phone, or a printed label
PostPoint: the label must already be printed and attached
Drop2Shop: show the QR code to the shop staff and they print the label
DPD: the label must be printed at home
DHL Express parcel shop: print the label and stick it on the parcel
No printer at all? Vinted suggests getting the label at the drop-off point where possible, or asking a friend, a library or an office to print it; otherwise the order may need to be cancelled. Once a label is generated, it cannot be swapped to another carrier. An Post's own drop-off page also says post office staff print labels, while Parcel Lockers and PostPoints need a printed label.
The order in Vinted names the carrier you are about to visit
The label is from this order, on your phone or printed
The parcel is sealed and old labels are removed or covered
A printed label is flat on one face, with no tape over the barcode
You have a photo of the packed parcel
You know to keep the receipt until the order is completed
1. Use the carrier the buyer chose
Vinted Ireland lists four integrated carriers: An Post, DHL Express, Drop2Shop and DPD. The buyer picks the shipping option at checkout and the label is bought for that carrier. Vinted says the prepaid Vinted-generated label must be used to send the order, and that using a different label or the wrong shipping option cancels the order automatically.
Open the order in Vinted and check which carrier it names before you leave the house
An An Post label goes to An Post; a DHL Express, Drop2Shop or DPD label goes to that carrier's drop-off point
The shipping option cannot be changed once the label is bought; the order has to be cancelled and placed again
2. Get the label from the order
In the conversation screen, press Get shipping label. Vinted shows the label or code in the app and sends it to your email, with instructions that say whether the label is digital or needs printing and where the parcel can be dropped off. Post by the deadline shown in your own order.
Each order has its own label; never reuse a label from an earlier sale
Read the instructions for this order, because the label type and drop-off points depend on the carrier
Save the email so you can find the label again at the counter
3. An Post labels: digital or print-at-home
Vinted's An Post instructions depend on where you drop off. At a post office you can print the label at home, or show the digital label on your phone to a staff member so it can be printed at the counter. At a PostPoint the label must already be printed at home and stuck on the parcel before you hand it in.
Digital label: show it on your phone at a post office counter
Print-at-home label: print it, attach it flat and hand the parcel in to be scanned
PostPoint: printed and attached label only, so use a post office if you cannot print
4. Pack, seal and photograph
Vinted asks sellers to pack the item properly and suggests taking a photo of the packed parcel. If an item is packed badly and damaged in transit, Vinted may cancel the order and refund the buyer, so seal the parcel fully before you queue rather than at the counter.
Seal every opening so nothing can slide out
Photograph the packed parcel and the attached label
Remove or fully cover any old labels and barcodes on reused packaging
5. Hand it in and keep your proof
Hand the parcel in at a drop-off point for the carrier on the label and wait for it to be scanned. Vinted says to keep your proof of shipping until the order is completed, for example a copy of the shipping label, the drop-off receipt or an email confirmation.
Keep a copy of the shipping label
Keep the drop-off receipt
Keep the confirmation email until the order is completed
6. Tracking after drop-off
Buyer and seller can both follow the parcel from the Vinted conversation screen. For An Post shipments, Vinted says to allow up to 48 hours after sending for tracking to appear, so a parcel that does not show immediately is not necessarily a problem.
Check tracking in the Vinted conversation, not only by email
Allow up to 48 hours before worrying about a missing first scan
If something still looks wrong, contact Vinted with your proof of shipping
Shipping options compared
Compare An Post, Drop2Shop, DPD and DHL Express on routes, printing and drop-off, with a carrier chooser and a Vinted fee calculator.
The buyer reports it within 2 days of the delivery notice; sellers are compensated only if they used the Vinted label, packed properly and the carrier confirms it.
Vinted says Ireland is connected with France, Belgium and Luxembourg. An Post and DHL Express cover Ireland to France; DPD covers France, Belgium and Luxembourg; Drop2Shop is within Ireland only. Bulky orders between Ireland and France are not available with An Post.
No UK route: the UK is not one of the countries connected with Vinted Ireland
Northern Ireland sellers use Vinted UK at vinted.co.uk, which has its own carriers; see Vinted UK help
InPost is not one of Vinted Ireland's carriers. We found no evidence that Vinted Go lockers operate in Ireland: Vinted's Irish help lists only An Post, DHL Express, Drop2Shop and DPD. Check your Vinted order instructions for where your parcel can be dropped off.
Go to Profile, then Settings, then Postage to turn carriers on or off. Some carriers cannot be turned off, and Vinted turns Drop2Shop on by default. The buyer picks from the options you leave on, and the carrier cannot be changed after checkout.
An old label reused: Every sale has its own label. Get the label from the current order.
Label across a seam or edge: Stick the label flat on one face so the barcode is not folded or split when the bag flexes.
Shiny tape over the barcode: Tape the edges of the label only. Glare from tape over the barcode can stop it scanning.
Parcel not sealed: Seal the parcel fully before you queue so it is ready to hand over and nothing can slide out.
Wrong carrier's label: A DHL Express, Drop2Shop or DPD label cannot be posted with An Post, and the reverse. Check the carrier on the order.
Small item? Postbox Drop-Off
An Post launched Postbox Drop-Off on 9 November 2026 for small postage-paid parcels with a printed An Post label. Vinted's own help lists a post office, PostPoint or parcel shop for An Post orders, so check An Post's conditions before using a postbox for a Vinted label.
Open the order, press Get shipping label, pack and seal the parcel, then hand it in with the label for the carrier the buyer chose within 5 business days. Keep the label copy and drop-off receipt until the order is completed.
Which carriers can I use on Vinted in Ireland?
Vinted Ireland lists An Post, DHL Express, Drop2Shop and DPD as integrated carriers. The buyer chooses the option at checkout and the seller must use the label for that carrier.
Do I need a printer to sell on Vinted in Ireland?
Not always. An Post orders can be posted at a post office by showing the digital label to staff, and Drop2Shop staff print the label from your QR code. DPD orders and An Post PostPoints need a label printed at home.
Can I post a Vinted parcel without a printer at the post office or Drop2Shop?
Yes. Vinted says a post office can take an An Post order from the digital label on your phone, and that you show the Drop2Shop QR code to the shop staff to have the label printed.
How long do I have to post a Vinted item?
Vinted gives sellers 5 business days to send the order. If the item is not sent in time, Vinted can cancel the order automatically.
Can I sell on Vinted Ireland to buyers in the UK?
No. Vinted says Ireland is connected with France, Belgium and Luxembourg. The UK is not one of the connected countries, so there is no integrated Vinted label from Ireland to the UK.
How does Vinted shipping work from Northern Ireland?
Northern Ireland is in the UK, so sellers there use Vinted UK at vinted.co.uk rather than vinted.ie. Vinted UK has its own carriers, so check Vinted UK's help centre and your order instructions.
Are there Vinted Go or InPost lockers for Vinted in Ireland?
InPost is not one of Vinted Ireland's carriers. We found no evidence that Vinted Go lockers operate in Ireland, so check your Vinted order instructions for where to drop off.
