Woman buys £3 skirt on Vinted – but is left fuming when it arrives

Online shopping, despite its convenience, can often be a gamble.

A man, known as depopdrama on TikTok, recently shared a woman's unfortunate experience with purchasing a skirt from Vinted for £3. The woman had hoped to receive a lovely skirt, but instead was sent an item that was far from her expectations, sparking intrigue among social media users.

In the video, he detailed how the skirt arrived "ripped and smelt of cigarettes", leading the buyer to question whether her annoyance was justified. She explained to him that she had bought the skirt on a whim for her upcoming trip to Paris, but was shocked when it arrived.

Despite being listed as a size 20, the woman claimed the skirt was "huge" and in poor condition, leaving her contemplating whether to return it.

She also provided pictures of the supposed "poor alteration" made to the skirt, which appeared to be slightly torn along the seams. However, despite the unfolding drama, the TikToker offered a single piece of advice.

He responded: "In my personal opinion, because the dress is only £3, it's going to cost you like £4 to return it. It's going to be hassle, it's going to be effort and it's going to be time.

"I would literally just keep the dress. That being said, if you're really not going to wear it, I would probably just re-list it on Vinted, and state there's been an alteration done in the seam.

"I don't think anyone would have a problem with it, and you could probably get more than £3."

Since the video was shared online, it's been viewed more than 100 times, and people were quick to share their thoughts on the shopping conundrum. They admitted some of the sagas on Vinted can be "ridiculous".

One person said: "I think, as a quick impulsive buy, just accept it for
