A woman has been left in hysterics after discovering something disgusting her Vinted parcel. However, rather than complain about the mistake, she shared a laugh with the mortified seller
A woman has been left gobsmacked after discovering something disgusting in her Vinted parcel – but says the seller’s response made up for it.
The woman explained how she bought a gym set on the online marketplace – but never expected the parcel to include a wax strip of a stranger’s unwanted hair.
Grossed out, the woman contacted the seller through the platform to complain, saying: “Thanks for my order! Wasn’t expecting the used wax strips though.” In response, the mortified seller said: “Omg! I am so sorry! My daughter cleaned her room and must have used one of those bags. I can’t believe they were in there.”
The buyer also explained how the seller sent two different sized items, meaning she isn’t able to make use of them. Wanting to make up for her mistakes, she ended up offering her a full refund and couldn’t be more apologetic about the situation.
She added: “I don’t want any of it back. I’ll refund you, lovely. Keep it and sell it on. I’m absolutely mortified.” Thankfully, the buyer was able to see the funny side to the situation – and even felt bad for the seller’s unfortunate mishap.
The buyer added: “Don’t worry” Honestly if both sizes fitted, I’d just have kept it without clicking there’s an issue. I assumed something like that had happened.” Speaking about the wax strips, she added: “I thought they were teabags in the corner of the parcel at first. Please don’t stress, these things happen! Honestly it gave me a chuckle. I have enough of my own hair though.”
Shortly before receiving her refund of £8.44, the seller thanked the woman for her understanding and for not reporting her for the issue. She added: “I appreciate you have a sense of humour. I’m quite sure I could get banned for sending you body hair. Maybe this is a thing on OnlyFans? I maybe on to something.”
Commenting on her post, social media users couldn’t help but laugh at the awkward situation, with one saying: “I’m so glad you guys laughed it off glad to see there’s still positivity out there.” Another added: “I’m loving this interaction hahaha – we’re all people.”
A third user said: “That’s great that it’s ended peacefully.” One more user added: “Bless you both, if only everyone on vented were this chill.” Founded by Milda Mitkutė and Justas Janauskas in 2008, Vinted has become a popular online marketplace for buying, selling, and exchanging new or second-hand items, mainly clothing and accessories.
It became Lithuania’s first tech unicorn, raising €128million at a €1billion valuation in a round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners in 2019. Today, it operates in 21 countries and has more than 65 million registered users.
