Rachel Hutchinson, a mother from the UK, buys and sells items on the secondhand marketplace app, but was recently left lost for words after she was pestered numerous times to collect her parcel, just 24 hours after it arrived at the collection point.

Shocked by the jaw-dropping messages she received from the Vinted user, Rachel took to social media to share screenshots of the conversation, leaving many totally stunned.
Posting online, the mother gasped: 'This has got to be the rudest person I have ever spoken to in my life on Vinted.
'I felt sorry for her, because she's obviously filled with that hatred inside her. She was so p****d off at me for not collecting this parcel within 48 hours.'
Rachel then explained why she didn't immediately collect her parcel, as she recognised: 'Now I'm sorry but I have my girls two of the days. I went one of the days, I forgot my ID.
'The first day I went, they hadn't sorted the parcels out.
'I didn't realise that Satan was on the other end of Vinted.
'When I have got my children, I am not doing anything else but spending time with them. I don't go on my phone much, I don't film any content, I like to be with them, so my nights aren't going to be wasted telling them they can't go to the park because we've got to pick up a parcel. I'll do that on the days I don't have them.
'My parcel arrived 24 hours before this first message.'
The first message from the angry seller, who sold Rachel a pair of black trainers for just £6, read: 'Hi I would really appreciate it if you could collect today.'
Moments later, that same day, another message popped up which read: 'I can appreciate being busy but this is getting silly now. Feedback will reflect this.'
I've made almost £4.5k on Vinted & here's the 18 unexpected brands that will make you a fortune, including Jane Norman
Rachel didn't reply to the messages, but the following day was hit with a barrage of abuse.
The following morning, Rachel received a message that read: 'Actually you know what, don't. Let it come back to me, l've had enough of this now.
'You are clearly playing some kind of weird game and will probably find fault with the shoes.'
The angry Vinted seller then went on to accuse: 'What's it gonna be, busy at work? Granny had a fall? I'm really curious!
'Why buy stuff off Vinted if you aren't going to collect it? Do you actually enjoy wasting people's time?'
I didn't realise that Satan was on the other end of Vinted
Rachel Hutchinson
Rachel confirmed that she was 'busy' and 'didn't know that it was going to be a problem' that she hadn't collected the parcel within the first two days.
On Vinted, the collection window for parcels at pick-up points is typically between seven and 10 days, depending on the carrier.
While InPost usually allow three days, Evri and Yodel often allow 10 days.
If a parcel isn't collected within the specified time, it will be returned to the sender.
Why I hate Vinted, a real-life view
Fabulous Associate Editor Sarah Barns opens up on why she hates Vinted:
It's the king of second-hand fashion but I hate Vinted.
There I said it. Yes, it stops items going into landfill. Yes, it helps create additional side-hustle income for many.
And yes, you can get things at bargain prices. But it is just not my (shopping) bag.
From personal experience, I've bought 'cheap' bundles of children's clothes only for them to arrive dirty and misshapen.
Plus, with postage and buyer protection they didn't feel like such a great deal. I much prefer going to my local charity shop or supermarket for kids' stuff.
I've also bought more premium high-street items - a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos - only to find they didn't fit properly and the colours were faded.
I attempted a bout of selling stuff but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone to Royal Mail.
A major gripe with it is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I'm not sure I needed the items I did purchase, I just didn't want to miss out.
Also, the reselling of fast-fashion items - a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 - makes me feel a bit queasy.
Clothes shopping has become a daily hobby for a lot of people when really it should be something that's done once or twice a year as a necessity.
But the 18 million Vinted app users clearly disagree with me.
Stunned by the rude and threatening remarks, Rachel responded to the seller to explain why she hadn't yet been able to collect the parcel.
But to this, the Vinted seller accused her of being 'very weird' and suggested she was 'playing some kind of game'.
In response, Rachel expressed her shock at the situation, as she confirmed: 'I let people that buy from me take however long they want [to pick parcels up].
'I understand they've got other commitments than just picking the parcel up.'
Social media users react
At the time of writing, the TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @rachmariex, had clearly left many open-mouthed, as it had quickly racked up 80,200 views, 1,392 likes and 137 comments.
Social media users were stunned by Rachel's Vinted experience and many took to the comments to express this.
Tbh you should of picked it up sooner, you never know people might be waiting for that money to eat
TikTok user
One person gasped: 'Can you report them to Vinted? They are unhinged.'
Another added: 'Completely unhinged response.'
A third commented: 'People on Vinted are feral.'
Meanwhile, someone else agreed: 'Savage, think she needs a hug.'
Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?
QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted... The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.

But at the same time, others claimed that they understood the sellers' frustration at Rachel not collecting the parcel.
One woman wrote: 'Tbh you should of picked it up sooner, you never know people might be waiting for that money to eat... In reality it would of taken at least half and hour.'
A second chimed in: 'Not picking stuff up really irritates me. For Bigger Vinted sellers it's annoying. The messages were a bit strong but she is right when she says, don't buy if you can't collect. You could have walked to get parcel with kids then to the park.'
Meanwhile, another Vinted seller recognised: 'It's annoying when people take forever to collect.'

Lucy Letby's life behind bars revealed – from £33-a-week to spend on chocolate & TWICE as many visits as other prisoners
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LUCY Letby's enhanced prisoner status gives her a staggering £33 a week to spend on sweets and chocolate. The former nurse can also receive twice as many visits as other prisoners, after being fast-tracked from standard status. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Lucy Letby was convicted of killing seven babies Credit: PA 5 The nurse worked at the Countess of Chester Hospital in the North-West Credit: PA 5 The nurse reportedly gets to spend £33 on sweet treats in the prison canteen Credit: PA Letby was convicted of killing seven babies and for attempting to murder another seven. She is now imprisoned in unit four of the only purpose-built private prison in the UK - HMP Bronzefield. Now an enhanced prisoner, Letby is given £33 a week to spend in the prison canteen where regular prisoners are only given £19.80. Some prisoners are bumped down to basic status as a punishment, which gives them only £5.50 per week. All prisoners are given status reviews every 28 days, but Letby has retained her enhanced position throughout her time at HMP Bronzefiled. A source told the MailOnline that the killer nurse was upgraded because of fears that she may be attacked by other inmates. The source said: 'Lucy is reserved and very quiet, she isn't really a problem with staff. 'It grates with officers though - she's committed the worst crimes possible and here she is on the enhanced unit with all the benefits that come with it. 'Again the real reason she is here is safety, she would be attacked on any other unit.' Letby reportedly has shared a cell with a former prison officer who was jailed after having sex with an inmate. I defend baby killers like Lucy Letby – bombshell new theory could FREE her but I know real truth… & it's NOT medical Linda De Sousa Abreu, Letby's cell mate, was fast-tracked to privileged status for her own protection since she is a former guard. Abreu worked at the famous prison HMP Wandsworth in London. Letby has been in police custody since November 2020 and was handed a 'whole life order' in August 2023. The inmate is the fourth woman in British history to be given no hope for parole after committing her string of chilling murders. Letby has been found to have targeted 17 babies whilst at large between June 2015 and June 2016. Her first confirmed victim was a boy born in June 2015, who, despite being born prematurely, was described as being "stable". Letby came on shift at 7.30pm that same day and, by 8.26pm, the boy's condition was "deteriorating rapidly". He died twenty minutes later after air was deliberately injected into his bloodstream. That boy's twin sister became ill just 28 hours later after "purple blotches" broke out across her body - symptoms shared with her brother. Thankfully, that baby survived. 5 Some have cast doubt on Lucy Letby's conviction Credit: Reuters However, another two babies died under the nurse's care that same month - one of which ingested air and the other being killed when air was injected into her bloodstream. More babies - including one in on 4 August and another on October 23 - died from incidents involving air while at Letby's hospital. Finally, Letby was found to have killed two more babies on June 23 and 24 2016. The killer nurse was arrested on July 3, 2018, and faced a three-year court battle before finally being jailed for life. She had been working at the Countess of Chester Hospital while at large. Despite her conviction, Letby insists that she is innocent and several high profile politicians have called for her case to be re-examined. Former health secretary Jeremy Hunt said that, although the victim's family must be at the 'forefront' of politician's minds, there is 'doubt on what actually happened'. He added: 'They are not conspiracy theories dredged up from far-flung reaches of the internet.' The former health secretary and Tory chancellor said that 14 paediatric specialists ruled that the deaths of the babies had been down to natural causes.

Tragic update into death of Brit, 23, ‘shot in chest' at dad's US home as her mum reveals ‘killer' will not face justice
MUM'S FURY Tragic update into death of Brit, 23, 'shot in chest' at dad's US home as her mum reveals 'killer' will not face justice Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE mum of a Brit woman shot dead at her dad's home in the US has revealed her fury after discovering her alleged killer will not face justice. Lucy Harrison, 23, was discovered at the property in the Prosper area of Texas on January 10. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Lucy Harrison was shot dead at her dad's US home Credit: Facebook 6 Criminal charges will not be brought Credit: Facebook At the time, authorities in the US confirmed she died after being shot in the chest by "another person". Officials revealed a suspect had been identified and that the case was being probed as "criminally negligent homicide". But Collin County District Attorney's Office has confirmed that a Grand Jury has issued a 'no-bill' in the case - meaning criminal charges will not be brought. Lucy's mum Jane Coates has now hit out at the "baffling" decision and said it was "beyond comprehension". She said the Grand Jury found the evidence did not meet the threshold for criminal proceedings. Jane, from Warrington, Cheshire, added: ""Although we have tried so hard to prepare for this moment, it is a brutal outcome to accept. "It is baffling and beyond comprehension to us, our families and friends, that there is to be no accountability for what happened to my daughter. "The international element, coupled with a different legal system, practice, and thresholds, makes the outcome even harder and more frustrating to accept. "The outpouring of love for Lucy, myself, Sam, and our families and friends, from our local community and beyond, has been overwhelming, and I cannot thank everyone enough for their ongoing support." Unlike Britain, in the US a Grand Jury of citizens meets to review evidence and decide whether to bring a prosecution. The hearings are conducted in secret, so details of who could have been charged have not been released. It previously emerged from a police report that five witnesses had been identified - including two children. Paying tribute, Jane said: "When the time is right, I would welcome learning more from communities and groups in Texas who are working to prevent gun deaths through education, partnerships, and policy change. "I know that Lucy would be a fierce advocate of this. "I miss her infectious belly laughs, her constant chatter about her dream job at Boohoo in Manchester, her requests to tickle her legs, travel plans, her tears - and there were many! "Most of all, as her mum, I miss spending time with the absolute light of my life. It was, and still is, a privilege to be her mum. "In the words of her final Mother's Day card to me, I'll 'keep mumming it'." An inquest in Cheshire heard how Lucy was "on holiday in the USA when she was fatally shot with a firearm". Just hours before the horror, Lucy could be seen posing happily in the snow with her family in touching last photos. Wearing a thick black coat, the graduate beamed next to her dad, younger siblings and stepmum. Lucy also grinned alongside her boyfriend, who she had flown to the US with just after Christmas to visit her family. The couple, who had just bought a house together, had been planning to fly back to Manchester the day after Lucy was discovered dead. Sam said: "Due to the legal proceedings over in America, Lucy's voice has been silenced, leaving myself and Jane completely heartbroken. "This outcome has left us baffled, heartbroken, and it has been incredibly frustrating to understand the thresholds and legal system in Texas. "Our whole life was planned out, and we began that first step by buying our own home. "I was one of the very fortunate ones who met 'their person' at a very young age, and I will be forever grateful to experience that, even for just one minute." The family have requested that, if desired, donations be made to Peace and Mind UK - a charity based in Lucy's hometown founded in memory of murdered teenager Brianna Ghey. 6 Lucy was due to fly home when she was shot Credit: Facebook 6 A homicide probe had been launched into her death Credit: Facebook 6 Final photos showed Lucy playing in the snow with her family Credit: Facebook

Serial murderer ‘The Twitter Killer' who dismembered 9 victims he snared on social media is executed by hanging in Japan
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JAPAN has executed the man who brutally murdered eight women and one man - aged between 15 and 26 - after luring them to his flat. Takahiro Shiraishi, dubbed the "Twitter killer", raped, strangled and dismembered his victims - in a chilling case that shook one of the world's safest countries. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Takahiro Shiraishi was recently executed for murdering nine people in 2017 Credit: ANN News 5 The 'Twitter killer' in a 2020 court sketch when he was sentenced to death Credit: AFP 5 Japan's Minister of Justice Keisuke Suzuki announced on Friday that Shiraishi had been executed Credit: AFP Shiraishi, who committed the crimes in 2017, was executed by hanging - marking Japan's first execution since 2022. Then 27, the serial killer lured young women to his home, where he raped them before murdering them. Three of the eight women were schoolgirls. He also killed the boyfriend of one of the women to silence him. Read more world news FLOWER POWER Radioactive soil to be used outside PM's office in Japan in divisive PR stunt Authorities made the disturbing discovery in October 2017 while investigating the disappearance of a 23-year-old woman last seen walking with Shiraishi. Cops found the victims' body parts in Shiraishi's flat in the Japanese city of Zama, near Tokyo. One resident told The Japan Times in 2017: 'I thought it smelled like sewage. It was something I never smelled before.' Another neighbour said they noticed a 'nasty smell' coming from the flat. Nine dismembered bodies were found in three coolers and five large storage boxes inside the flat - dubbed the "house of horrors" by the media. The serial killer had discarded parts of his victims in the bin, which was collected with the recycled garbage. Inside the hellish prison dubbed 'Indonesia's Alcatraz' which executes death row inmates with a firing squad It later emerged that he had searched online for how to mutilate bodies before buying a saw and a meat cleaver. Shiraishi pleaded guilty to murdering nine victims in October 2020. The killer revealed he met them on the social media platform Twitter, now known as X. He told the victims he could help them die, even claiming in some cases he would kill himself alongside them. His Twitter profile wrote: "I want to help people who are really in pain. Please DM [direct message] me anytime." Prosecutors demanded the death penalty for Shiraishi, while his lawyers argued for a prison sentence, claiming his suicidal victims had consented to their deaths and that he should be charged with "murder with consent". They also called for his mental state to be assessed. But Shiraishi later disputed his own defence team's version of events, revealing he killed without the victims' consent. 435 people showed up to watch the 2020 verdict sentencing him to death - despite the court having only 16 public seats - Japan's public broadcaster NHK reported. The murders also prompted Twitter to change its rules to state users should not "promote or encourage suicide or self-harm". Shiraishi was hanged at the Tokyo Detention House in secrecy, with nothing revealed until the execution was done. Japan's Justice Minister Keisuke Suzuki, who ordered Shiraishi's execution, said on Friday that Shiraishi acted "for the genuinely selfish reason of satisfying his own sexual and financial desires", according to AFP. The case "caused great shock and anxiety to society", he said. Japan currently has 105 people on death row, Suzuki added. The country has one of the lowest crime rates in the world. What is Japan's death penalty? JAPAN'S justice system allows the death penalty for serious crimes like murder, typically carried out by hanging. The nation's death penalty dates back to the Meiji era - with the current legal framework established under the Penal Code of 1907. Executions are rare and usually follow a lengthy appeals process. The justice minister must sign the execution order. Inmates are often told just hours before, and the executions are carried out in total secrecy. Between January 2000 and June 2025, 99 inmates have been executed in Japan. Who has recently been executed? July 2022: Tomohiro Kato, 39, was executed for a rampage in a Tokyo shopping district in 2018, where he killed seven people in a car crash and stabbing spree. December 2021: Yasutaka Fujishiro, 65, was executed for killing seven relatives in 2004. December 2021: Tomoaki Takanezawa, 54, and Mitsunori Onogawa, 44, were executed for the 2003 murders of two employees at separate pachinko parlours. August 2019: Koichi Shoji, 64, was executed for multiple rape-murders in Kanagawa Prefecture in 2001. August 2019: Yasunori Suzuki, 50, was executed for murdering three women - and raping one of them - in Fukuoka Prefecture between 2004 and 2005. 5 Cops found nine dismembered bodies in his flat in Zama, south of Tokyo, Japan, in October 2017
