I bought an item to give as a gift, that was listed as new. Seller sent in a thin poly bag, a few strips of coloured paper (no actual protection).
I was away for weekend visiting sick relative so couldn't 'report an issue' that Vinted only allows 2-DAYS for buyers to do. I contacted customer service, who were extremely UNHELPFUL! They said because I didn't 'report an issue' within the 2 days, there's nothing they can do about it!
When making a purchase, they add on money for 'Buyer Protection', yet, in reality, you're paying them extra money for nothing!
I told them that The Consumer Rights Act 2015 states if goods arrive faulty, damaged, not fit for purpose, etc, the buyer has rights and the statutory period, by law, is 30 days, not 2-DAYS that they give! Yet they still refuse to do what they are legally obliged to do!
I will be deleting their App and will never use them again. I've also reported them to Trading Standards
