Hello again. I had to send out my last sale by Royal Mail SD. The buyer has confirmed receipt by message and said they are happy. They said that there was no option to confirm receipt as yet, but would do it as soon as possible. Is this usual? I don’t know how long it takes, but another buyer confirmed receipt of their Royal Mail SD parcel the same day it was received. 

Should I be worried at all? 

The buyer might just not see the confirm button, or just be reluctant to confirm. This is why I gave up on Royal Mail for Vinted .

However Vinted will release the money to you in about 3 weeks unless buyer says there is a problem.

Hi, just thought I would update on this. 

I dropped the buyer a friendly reminder message to ask if they could see the button yet. Within about 5 minutes they’d confirmed & left me feedback, 

Money had come through already this morning when I checked. 

I don’t know if it was relevant, but this buyer asked me to wrap it well under layers (it was an item of jewellery), because there had been postage thieves in his area that had made a cut in his post & he’d lost £1,000 worth of jewellery. So, I was a little concerned about that. 

As mentioned before, Vinted only has RM 2nd class as an option at £3.69, but as I sent it SD and well packed it as requested, it was actually a parcel, so cost £8 odd.  But hey ho!
