Using Vinted is a great way to sort out our wardrobe, earn a little extra cashola and support the planet all at the same time.
However, any seasoned Vinted seller will tell you that forking out for a seemingly endless supply of postage bags can end up costing you a pretty penny.
So, to help remedy that issue, one woman who has made hundreds of pounds on Vinted has shared her incredible hack to get free packaging.
The Vinted seller, who goes by the handle @Vintedseller11 online took to TikTok to share their handy hack.

In the short clip, the Vinted user explained that you can supposedly order packaging 'for free' on the UPS website.
"Just Google UPS free packaging and create an account on UPS," the voiceover added.The clip has seemingly since racked up 153.7k views alongside dozens and dozens of comments from people eager to share their reactions to the advice.
One TikTok user penned: "Me seeing this after I just bought packaging on Amazon."
"Mine never turned up been over 2 months," complained a second, while a third agreed: "Mine never turn up."

The TikToker then responded: "Mine took about a month to deliver."
A fourth chimed in: "I just reuse packaging from my orders."
Well, while reusing old packaging may definitely be the cheaper and more environmentally-friendly option than purchasing new postage parcels every single time - it's clear it's not always welcomed by buyers.
One woman was recently left in stitches after receiving her item which came bundled up in some pretty bizarre packaging.
Carla Kent, a make-up artist from Glasgow, received her parcel in some very unconventional packaging and gave the seller an 'A for effort'.

Taking to TikTok to share her parcel with the world, Carla held up a Magnum ice cream box, saying: "Let’s start with the best Vinted parcel I’ve ever received.
"Might be my favourite to be honest, simply because of the packaging.
"A for effort. Honestly, love this."
Now that's what I call sustainability.

And you’d never guess that inside of the delicious box was actually a beautiful garment.
A black kimono from PrettyLittleThing, in fact.
The best part? Even though she bought the pre-loved item, it was new with tags.
Carla added: "Most of the stuff I find on Vinted is always with tags and always so cheap."

Well, I guess they say it's what's on the inside that counts - eh?
