Tracking Your Parcel
One of the key features that customers appreciate is Evri's comprehensive tracking system. From the moment a parcel is collected to its final delivery, customers can monitor their package's journey through the Evri website or mobile app.
The tracking system provides real-time updates including when the parcel has been collected, when it's at the local depot, out for delivery, and finally delivered. Customers also receive SMS and email notifications at key stages of the delivery process.
ParcelShop Network
Evri operates an extensive network of over 8,000 ParcelShops across the UK. These are local convenience stores, newsagents, and retail outlets that act as collection and drop-off points for parcels. This network provides flexibility for customers who may not be home during delivery hours.
ParcelShops typically have extended opening hours, including evenings and weekends, making it convenient to collect parcels at a time that suits you. The service is free to use and parcels are held for up to 14 days.
