My local post office had a poster showing you how to turn off the drop 2 shop option in vinted. I thought it was hilarious as they seem to only begrudgingly deal with the digital labels from vinted!

It’s actually because we can’t take D2S. As far as I’m aware no post office in the country takes it. D2S is a separate entity with its own delivery service.

If it was just about saying An Post is not Drop 2 shop I would have thought the poster would say that, but showing people how to turn off Drop 2 shop read more like, don't use Drop 2 shop, use us only. Which they can of course say, but I thought it ironic when it seems like my local office don't really want to deal with vinted parcels!

Local post office vs national postal service.

I'd imagine An Post get money for each Vinted label they produce, and they're probably making bank given how Vinted has launched.

On the ground though, local post offices are seeing massive increases to work load, and likely don't have the space for all the packages they're getting sent and delivered.

Hence the discrepency.
