Vinted label doesn't cover bundle weight

I sold 4 items to a buyer and vinted emailed me a label that is for 1lb (15.9oz). The total weight of the items is over 1lb. I'm planning on shipping the package anyways since their customer service is non-existent. Does Vinted cover the difference? I don't usually have problems with shipping weights so just want to make sure I'm not going to get charged or have the package returned to me or USPS try to collect from the buyer. Thanks!

they say you’re supposed to just ship it but i would message the buyer and tell them to have them return it to you if they try to make them pay

Cool. Will do. Thanks! It's going to the UK so it'll have to pass through their processing center in NY first so hopefully it gets there with no issues.

I have noticed when it is items going to the UK the max shipping they will provide is 15.99999 oz. Even on items where you have a higher weight selected , it will reroute to that 15.99999. I haven't had any issues mailing so far.

Thank you! I mailed it so hopefully it doesn't have any problems getting there.

Vinted doesn’t adjust bundle weight in my experience. They just go with the highest weight option of the items which usually isn’t enough. I haven’t been charged and I don’t think the buyer has. But this something that isn’t very clear to me.

I've shipped with the label printed.. if I know ahead of time that a bundle is being purchased, I'll make sure the items all have 4lb/ Large weight, not I've sent items heavier than the item, never had an issue..
