Where to Buy Stock to Resell on Vinted: 7 Wholesalers Compared (2026)

Most Vinted resellers don't go wrong on the price per kilo. They go wrong on what's inside the box: stained pieces, thirty items in the same size, a "premium" brand that isn't one. The right wholesaler isn't the cheapest. It's the one whose stock you can list almost entirely without spending your evenings on it.

We compared 7 second-hand clothing wholesalers that ship to France, based only on what they show on their official websites. No random ranking: criteria, a table, and a grid to help you choose based on your profile.

In short: the 7 wholesalers in one sentence

• Friptadium: boxes by the kilo, hand-sorted to a Grade A standard, washed, starting at 3 kg and shipped within 24 to 48 hours.
• French Pick: the widest choice of categories (over 400), in boxes of 10 to 20 kg.
• Place Wholesale: branded boxes, with 14 days to return a box.
• Skull Wholesale: branded lots by the piece, with no minimum order.
• Fripe'in Store United: 45 kg bales for volume, up to "cream" grade.
• Jonathan Frip's: a long-established wholesaler based near Rouen since 1982, with picking by appointment.
• SortedClothes: 20 kg boxes from Poland, if you don't mind factoring in shipping.

Bale, sorted box or lot by the piece: three different products

Before you compare prices, compare formats. Three ways to buy stock, three different jobs.

• The bale: a big compressed sack, often 45 kg, sold by weight and barely sorted, if at all. The kilo is cheap, but you're the one sorting, washing and throwing out. For resellers who have space and time.
• The sorted box by the kilo: a few kilos, already sorted by category and condition, sometimes washed. The kilo costs more because the sorting is done. For getting started, or for testing a category without storing 45 kg.
• The lot by the piece: a guaranteed number of pieces (15, 30, 50…), often branded. You know exactly what you're getting, but each piece costs more.

The classic trap is comparing the price per kilo of a bale with that of a sorted box. It's not the same product: an unsorted kilo is not a sellable kilo.

Five questions make the difference before you order

Every wholesaler writes "quality", "sorted" and "profitable". These five questions separate a good supplier from a box that sits in your garage.

1. Washed or disinfected?

It's not the same thing. Some wholesalers wash the pieces, others disinfect them without washing (Fripe'in Store United says so clearly on its website). An unwashed piece means one more step before the photo, and a risk of a buyer complaining about the smell.

2. Guaranteed weight or guaranteed number of pieces?

By the kilo, only the weight is guaranteed: 5 kg of jeans doesn't give you the same number of pieces as 5 kg of t-shirts. If you need a precise number of listings, a lot by the piece is more predictable.

3. What grade, and at what percentage?

"Grade A" means nothing without a number. Ask what share of pieces in very good condition is promised, and what happens to the rest. Friptadium, for example, promises more than 90% of pieces in very good condition in its Grade A quality charter; many bales mix grade A and grade B.

4. How much does it cost you, delivered to your door?

The listed price isn't your price. Add shipping: €29 per 20 kg box at SortedClothes, free delivery in France at Place Wholesale, free shipping from €250 at Friptadium. Also check whether the price includes VAT or not: without VAT to reclaim (say, as a French micro-entrepreneur), a lot listed at €300 excluding VAT actually costs you €360 with 20% French VAT.

5. What happens if the lot isn't right?

Read the terms before you pay, not after. Place Wholesale offers 14 days to return a box. DHEM states that returns are not accepted on its wholesale offer. Friptadium reviews complaints case by case, according to its quality charter. No rule is good or bad in itself: it's your safety net, you just need to know it.

The 7 wholesalers in detail

1. Friptadium: small sorted boxes to get started

Friptadium is a French second-hand clothing wholesaler that sells clothing boxes by the kilo designed for Vinted resellers. The pieces come from French shops, not imported bales. They are hand-sorted to a Grade A standard (more than 90% of pieces in very good condition), washed, and ready to be photographed.

• Formats: women, men, kids and vintage mix, in Basic or Premium ranges, starting at 3 kg.
• Prices found: €17.99 for a 3 kg Basic bottoms box, €44.99 for a 3 kg Mix Vintage box, from €54.99 for a 3 kg Premium box (excluding promotions).
• Shipping: dispatched within 24 to 48 business hours from France, free shipping from €250.
• Reviews: more than 5,000 ratings on its Vinted account, with a 4.9/5 score.
• For whom: the reseller who's just starting out, the one who wants to test a category without storing 45 kg, and the one who sells every week and wants stock ready to list. Formats and restocking are detailed in their offer for Vinted resellers.
• Good to know: the kilo costs more than an unsorted bale, because you're paying for the sorting and washing. Brands depend on incoming stock, with no guarantee they'll be included.

2. French Pick: to target a specific category

Based in Caen, French Pick sells boxes by weight in more than 400 categories, in grades A, B or C, with stock collected in France. Shipped within 48 h, delivered in 2 to 5 business days. For whom: the reseller who already knows which categories sell and wants targeted volume. Good to know: the price per kilo depends on the grade you choose, so compare at equal grade.

3. Place Wholesale: for brands, with a right of return

Place Wholesale offers boxes by the piece, by the kilo, chosen via video or handpicked, in grade A, shipped within 3 to 5 business days with free delivery in France. Its strong point: 14 days to return a box. For whom: the reseller who's after branded pieces and wants to limit the risk. Good to know: think in price per piece (€105 for 15 pieces in a summer branded or vintage box), not per kilo.

4. Skull Wholesale: for branded lots with no minimum

Skull Wholesale sells lots of 15 to 100 pieces and mixes by the kilo of 10, 20 or 30 kg, in grades A, B or C, with no minimum order. Shipped within 24 to 48 business hours, Mondial Relay from €5.90. For whom: the menswear, streetwear or brand reseller who wants to know how many pieces they're getting. Good to know: check the grade of each lot, it changes from one box to another.

5. Fripe'in Store United: for volume

Fripe'in Store United sells 45 kg bales, pallets and containers, in grades A, A+ and cream. The website states that the pieces are not washed but disinfected. For whom: the reseller who has a storage space and the time to sort. Good to know: the minimum order shown differs between pages (20 kg on the homepage, 10 kg in the catalog): ask before you order.

6. Jonathan Frip's: to pick on site

Based near Rouen since 1982, Jonathan Frip's sells by the kilo, from one kilo to a tonne, starting at €3 per kilo, and offers picking by appointment. Delivery stated at 72 h. For whom: the reseller close to Normandy who prefers to see and choose their pieces. Good to know: the grade and minimum aren't shown online.

7. SortedClothes: for the price per kilo, shipping included

SortedClothes is a Polish wholesaler that sells 20 kg boxes and pallets, in Cream, Vintage and Standard ranges. A 20 kg box costs between €134.07 and €158.67, with €29 shipping per box. For whom: the volume reseller comparing by the kilo. Good to know: with shipping, a €134.07 box comes to €163.07, or about €8.15 per kilo. Also factor in the lead time: 1 to 3 days of preparation, then 2 to 5 days of delivery.

The right wholesaler depends on how you sell

There's no best wholesaler in absolute terms, only the best one for the way you sell. Five profiles we come across all the time:

Léa, 24: women's ready-to-wear, in the evening after work

She has 30 to 40 listings online and little space at home. She needs small sorted, washed boxes that she can photograph the same day. Her pick: Friptadium's women's boxes for everyday stock, Place Wholesale when she wants branded pieces.

Karim, 31: menswear, streetwear and brands

He sells fewer pieces, but at higher prices, and wants to know exactly which brands he's getting. His pick: lots by the piece from Skull Wholesale or Place Wholesale for brands, and men's boxes by the kilo for fast-selling basics (bottoms, tops, suits and blazers).

Sofiane, 38: full-time reseller with a storage space

He handles volume and has time to sort. His pick: bales and boxes (Fripe'in Store United, SortedClothes, or bulk by the kilo at Jonathan Frip's), topped up with sorted boxes for the categories that sell fastest.

Julie, 27: vintage specialist

She's building a themed closet. Her pick: Friptadium's Mix Vintage box to test without risk, then French Pick to target a specific category, like blazers.

Nadia, 35: kids' clothing, between school runs

Kids' clothes sell fast and turn over with every size change, but they also wear out fast: sorting counts double. Her pick: kids' and baby boxes already sorted and washed, so she only lists clean pieces.

One box is enough to judge a wholesaler

Never order 45 kg from a wholesaler you haven't tested. One box is enough, as long as you judge it with a method and not by gut feeling.

A box means 20 or 30 unit costs to track

If you don't spread the purchase price across each piece, you don't know whether the jacket you sold for €25 actually made you any money.

In Revendor, the Stock and margins module lets you bulk-add the items from a lot: the unit cost is split automatically, and you see the moment the lot pays for itself. Give each piece a SKU and a storage location, and you'll find the sweater sold at 11 p.m. in ten seconds.

Before you set a price, the free fee and margin calculator shows you what's left once fees are deducted. And once you buy to resell, you are running a commercial activity: check the registration and tax rules that apply in your country.

Six traps cost more than a bad lot

• The 50% deposit by bank transfer before anything ships. A bank transfer doesn't protect you: if nothing arrives, you have little recourse. Choose a website with card payment, terms of sale and an identifiable company (in France, a SIRET number).
• Branded lots that are too good to be true. On some lot platforms, resellers receive counterfeits. On Vinted, a counterfeit means the listing gets removed and your account is at risk.
• "Private suppliers" sold in training courses. A list of wholesalers resold for several hundred euros often contains the same names as this comparison.
• The price excluding VAT read as a price including VAT. Without VAT to reclaim, add the VAT rate (20% in France) to the price shown excluding VAT.
• Importing from outside the European Union. Customs duties and import VAT are added to the price of the lot, and under-declaring the value of a parcel is an offense.
• The drop under pressure. Lot reserved in 5 minutes, sold out in 15: urgency is a sales pitch, not a quality guarantee.

Key takeaways

• Compare formats before comparing prices: bales, sorted boxes and lots by the piece are not the same product.
• Ask the 5 questions: washed or disinfected, guaranteed weight or pieces, grade as a percentage, cost delivered to your door, return terms.
• To get started with stock ready to list, go for a small sorted and washed box; for brands, a lot by the piece; for volume, a bale or box to sort yourself.
• Always test with one box before ordering big, and track the profitability of each lot piece by piece.
