Do you also have:
– bags of clothes everywhere in your home
– packages to ship in the evening
– no more space in your home
– the feeling of spending more time preparing than selling?
Because personally… that was my case.
So I got a warehouse to store everything and stop living in a consignment shop
And now I’m offering something very simple to other sellers:
you send me your stock I keep everything at my place when you sell, I prepare and ship I also handle returns
Basically: you never touch a package again.
I’m looking for 4-5 serious sellers to test the service with me.
If it can free up your time (and mental space), send me a DM
I’m taking the liberty of responding because I see no one else has.
Certainly, I’m not a professional on Vinted, I don’t have dozens of packages to send out daily, but nevertheless, each package I prepare brings me joy. I pack them while looking forward to handing them over to the carrier and to them being properly collected by the buyer.
It’s a real pleasure, big ones, small ones… that’s what keeps me selling after more than 10 years on Vinted, even if sales are fewer or for small amounts, because I enjoy packing my packages and I find real satisfaction in seeing my stock decrease.
I’m fortunate to have a dedicated room for Vinted, where I keep my stock, my desk, my boxes… Indeed, it takes up space, but it’s an organization like any other. In short, all this to say that I find it very interesting to « outsource » one’s Vinted activity, even if, for my part, I love doing all this myself. Hoping you find your sellers.
Hello - just to add my two cents. I don’t see what you’re going to gain with this system. I have the impression you’re going to struggle for very little. Not everyone can be Amazon. It’s a big logistical undertaking.
Outsourcing for a seller is difficult to consider (unless you’re big) because most of the time the seller already gives away their goods for next to nothing. But I don’t want to spoil the mood. It’s just my feeling. Good luck.
I find the original proposal interesting; it addresses a need.
As soon as I take a step forward in its implementation, I ask myself several questions. The most important is to know what object identification system will be put in place so that the new sender can find their way around. Another question concerns guarantees in case of loss/theft/damage to the stock while it is in the warehouse.
All of this inevitably leads to the question of the cost of the service.
All that is needed is one reference per item, and then to send the corresponding slip with the reference.
But I don’t really understand the point. It would mean that all the photos have to be taken. Then you send me a batch of items so that you can then manage the shipping package by package?
Personally, what would interest me would be to send my stock, and have someone manage the presentation and photo taking
As a professional, I have a dedicated space at home, basically a 100m² basement with huge shelves to store (even though there’s quite a bit of personal clutter) supplier boxes, with a 20m² room overlooking the garden where I prepare my packages and store delicate items. Since this is my business, I organize myself so I don’t have to do them in the evening (except during the busy Christmas season).
Same here, a dedicated room under the roof with a more than questionable organization. It still happens that I spend 20 minutes looking for a magazine, moving the unorganized stacks from carton pile to carton pile to access what’s underneath
The advantage you have is that you can fit a lot of books in a small space. With toy boxes, I need volume. Besides, there are things I do less and less, like Playmobil, a lot of volume to store, low margin, a lot of competition, a bit cumbersome in terms of boxes etc… If it’s a great deal, I’ll take it, but it’s no longer a priority for me.
Indeed, when you have a dedicated space and everything is structured, it works very well.
My service is mainly for sellers who:
-lack space
-live in apartments
-or want to completely delegate the logistics part to concentrate solely on sourcing/selling.
Some prefer to manage everything themselves, others prefer to outsource to save time — both approaches are valid
And I totally understand — for some, preparing packages is part of the pleasure of selling, and it’s great if you’ve found an organization that works for you.
My idea doesn’t replace this way of doing things; it’s mainly aimed at sellers who lack space or who wish to delegate the logistics part to focus on other aspects (sourcing, development, etc.).
There are as many ways to sell as there are sellers
Thank you for your message, those are indeed the right questions to ask
Regarding stock identification:
Each seller has a dedicated and referenced space. Items are organized and tracked by batch/reference so that parcel preparation remains simple and reliable.
Regarding security:
Storage takes place in a secure facility. As with any storage activity, guarantees are in place in case of problems (appropriate insurance, pre-defined conditions).
Regarding cost:
The model is based on a small storage fee + a per-package rate.
The idea is not to add an unnecessary burden, but to allow some regular sellers to save time and space when logistics become a constraint.
This type of solution is not for everyone, but it can meet a specific need.
The basic operation is indeed this:
the seller prepares their listings (photos, going online), then sends me the stock so that I can then manage the entire logistics part (storage + shipping + returns).
For some, delegating only logistics is already enough to save a lot of time.
But you raise an interesting point: taking photos and going online can also become time-consuming as the volume increases.
This is precisely the type of evolution possible if the demand is there — moving towards more complete delegation.
The idea remains to adapt the level of delegation according to the seller’s profile
When a product takes up a lot of space for a low margin, storage quickly becomes a real strategic criterion.
My approach can make sense in these types of cases:
when volume becomes a constraint at home, some prefer to outsource so as not to block their personal space or limit certain products.
Afterwards, as you say, it’s all a matter of trade-offs:
volume, margin, available space, organization.
Thanks for your questions, it’s important to clarify.
Additional photos / measurements:
If a request comes in, I can take the photos or measurements directly on-site and forward them to the seller so they can send them via messaging.
The idea is that the seller maintains control of the customer relationship.
Returns / disputes:
Returns are received at the warehouse. The seller is informed and decides what to do next (resell, refund, etc.) (By indicating the warehouse as the return address, possible on Vinted).
I handle the logistics, but the commercial management remains with the seller.
The principle remains simple:
I take care of the stock and shipments, the seller keeps control of their business.
If you have a regular volume, this can really simplify daily life
you send me your stock
