This is a very encouraging thread, thank you!

Has anyone used Depop? We use it at work but my experience has been minimal.

Do not ever use InPost as a way of sending or receiving parcels. The number of mixed up/lost items is unbelievable.

I've taken it off my options (I think).
I've only just taken it out of my options after someone paid for an item to be sent this way. :ruby:

If I've printed the shipping label, do I have to do anything with Inpost on their website? How do I get into the deposit locker?

I've found the FAQs.

My closest locker is very close and available but if I click on it it just opens up google maps to show me how far away it is.

ETA right I've watched a video and I didn't even need to bother with printing the label off! The lockers have scanners for the postage code on the phone.

Take photos of your package and possibly put your sender details (house number and postcode) inside the package) and get a receipt from the locker or take a photo of the screen when you are there.

I hope it goes through ok for you!

I’ve sold another dress. Unfortunately the buyer has chosen InPost, which I thought I’d removed! I’ll just have to hope it gets there.

I've got a pic of me. I think it helps to see the person selling as you get a feel for their look, size, style etc.

I can’t imagine anything worse than a photo of me :lol:. I look like an ancient hideous scarecrow. It would put people off. I need to think of something better. Maybe a row of pretty dresses on a rail?

Blimey. That took a while and was only 16 things, priced at 'fuck all'.

Still, they are up now and the upload process is really good I thought.

Oh it wouldn't let me untick the UPS point delivery option but that's miles away for me

I can't select/unselect that and our local one is just round the corner!

Good luck Marth!

People don't often choose UPS but it's a PITA for me when they do too.
