Thrifting and buying second hand can be a great way to reduce waste, stop contributing to overconsumption, and give “pre-loved” things and clothes a second life. One of the platforms where you can do that is Vinted with millions of registered users.
However, when you sell something, there’s the dilemma of packaging. Some people want to be as planet-friendly as possible, perhaps, so, they opt for some unorthodox mailing decisions. Here we have a list of the most ridiculous, over-the-top, and creative ways Vinted sellers have packaged their goods. Who knew a pizza box could be such a good container to send a dress?
Bored Panda reached out to Vinted and asked them what’s the official policy regarding questionable packaging. They kindly agreed to share their best wrapping strategies so they can be both practical and creative!

#38 Why Do Sellers Pack Things In The Most Peculiar Way
Went to pick up a package today, and the shop keeper handed over essentially a ball and yarn? Opened it up and it was double wrapped, second layer being a dog poop bag. Item itself is totally fine and unharmed, but couldn’t help but laugh at the awful choice of packaging.

#40 Thought They Sent Me Their Rubbish, But It Was Just An Attempt To Save On Packing Materials
I received a massive box for a small wooden kitchen item I ordered. As soon as I started opening the box, I spotted those empty bottles, and I started filming, thinking they’d actually sent me their rubbish. Turns out my item was at the very bottom of that box, under all the bottles. I think this is the worst packaging I’ve ever received.
