A British woman shipped 8kg of clothes from her wardrobe to Australia for £4 using a Vinted hack.
Beth Hackman, 25, moved the 10,000 miles from Windsor in Berkshire to Sydney with her partner, Nathan Riley, 25, while travelling in the region from March 2026. The physiotherapist moved with just two large rucksacks worth of clothes, but realised she needed more.
Discovery of the hack
Instead of spending a fortune buying new clothes or on shipping, she downloaded Vinted to see if she could see what her mum, Mel Belsdon, 49, was selling, as she was an avid poster on the app. She then realised she could ship the clothes for free as part of Vinted's launch in Australia.
Beth FaceTimed her mum so she could buy four bundles of her own clothes for £1 each as her mum listed them, so they didn't get nabbed by anyone else. All four 2kg parcels, within the confines of Vinted's weight limit, arrived within nine days.
Perfect timing
Beth said: "It was such a good hack to discover! I could literally picture the clothes I wanted to wear in my wardrobe back home and really didn't want to have to waste money on new ones."
"I had just redownloaded Vinted on my phone with its location now showing as Australia and it came up saying there was no shipping fees for packages from the UK."
"I couldn't believe it was true and immediately worked with my mum to get it sorted."
"All my stuff ended up arriving just over a week later on my birthday, which was just perfect."
Change in shipping fees
Vinted has since removed the free shipping in Australia, with the average parcel now costing £1.50 ($3.03 AUS) to deliver.
