@vinted Am I missing something really obvious? After buying something, where does it show which location (home, locker, shop etc.) I have arranged for it to be sent? I've never been able to find this, and have to rely on just remembering - is it shown somewhere? If not, could it?

"We have your parcel." doesn't actually mean that #Yodel have my parcel, they just say that sometimes, apparently. Is this garden-variety incompetence or just poor UX/UI?

I feel like I just don't get how #Vinted works anymore. Pretty much everything I'm seeing is used stuff, listed for at, or above, regular retail price (for new). Is it now just expected that you'll make a lower offer, so people are pre-empting this by listing at higher prices?

All the best for those getting their level 3 results today! I hope you crush it! #Results25 #Level3Results #TLevels

Why on Earth, in the age of technology of 2025, does Royal Mail give a 6 hour window for delivery? 6 hours? It's like they've just given up now?

@fesshole What kind of shitty butcher did you work in? Go on a sausage making course - not only is it rollicking carry-on style fun, but you actually get to see what goes into (decent) sausages. Which is pork and flavouring.

I worked in a butcher's shop in the 1980s. I had to keep the grinder full, while the butcher pulled out the sausages. I know what's in sausages. I have not eaten a sausage since.

I just had to complete 15 image captures to log into my PayPal account. Either PayPal is glitching or my brain is, but I'm telling you, there weren't any more fire hydrants!

@InPostUK I have sent you a DM, as this is the third day in a row and I'm really concerned I'm not going to receive this now.

@JamesLaneMe Unfortunately, there's no option to divert a parcel to another locker or shop location! We certainly hope your parcel gets to you successfully but send us a DM if there are any further issues.

I collect my @InPostUK locker deliveries, on average, in about 60 minutes of delivery. I feel that I should therefore be some kind of VIP that gets 'first dibs' on a locked bay instead of my package being 'attempted again soon'.

@InPostUK Gotcha, so there's no option to change the locker, or for me to collect it? Any other options?

@JamesLaneMe Hi again James, we'll try twice more to get your parcel to you, after which your parcel will be safely returned to the sender 😊

@InPostUK Me again - seriously though, another "We're re-attempting delivery soon" today on this delivery. a) How many attempts will you make? b) What happens when the above number is met? c) Do I have other options here (i.e. there's another locker 80 feet away, can I send it there?)

@JamesLaneMe 100% 😜

@InPostUK So what you're saying is "We're working on it"? 😂

@JamesLaneMe Magical, we'll make the right team aware for your VIP locker requests 😉💛

@InPostUK That would be perfect, thank you. If you could laser-engrave my face on it too 🤣

@JamesLaneMe Would you want your name on the locker as well, James? 😁

@anon_opin We sometimes go away with my wife's parents. Why? We like spending time with them. Is that really unusual?

Grown adults with spouses and children who all go on holiday with their parents - why?

@KewCogs @anon_opin Sure. Nailed it.

@JamesLaneMe @anon_opin One ¥en, two ¥ens. One ¥uan, two ¥uans? The 'rule' is nothing of the sort.

British people need to stop saying EUROS, it's EURO. It's always been EURO. Two euro, fifty euro, eight billion euro. It's always EURO. Why do only British people get this wrong?
