Beginning as a mail-order business about half a century ago, they’ve expanded greatly and changed their name multiple times due to their meteoric rise to prominence. In March 2022, Evri was launched after a successful rebranding from Hermes UK.
Anyone looking for a delivery service to send a package in the UK or to over 220 foreign locations can now do so with the help of Evri‘s helpful team of over 20,000 couriers, over 14,000 local one-stop ParcelShops and Lockers, and an expanding network of cutting-edge hubs and depots.
With their unbeatable blend of speed, pricing, and quality, they’ve become the go-to partner for more than 80% of the UK’s top retail brands. They also work with rapidly expanding marketplace platforms like Etsy and Vinted, and they cater to consumers seeking alternatives to traditional carriers.
