Evri announces deadline for millions sending Christmas presents and extends partnership with Post Office to 1,200 further branches

· More than 3,200 Post Office branches will now take Evri parcels

· UK’s biggest parcel drop off network – almost 17,000 locations

· Send by 11am on 21st December for pre-Christmas delivery

Evri, the UK’s biggest dedicated parcel delivery company, is today encouraging consumers to send their Christmas gifts as early as possible, as it adds more than 1,200 additional Post Office branches to its parcel drop off network. This extends Evri’s network to almost 17,000, which is believed to be the biggest parcel pick up and drop off network in the UK.

Evri is urging consumers planning to send Christmas gifts domestically not to leave it to the last minute – with the final cut-off point for next-day parcels being drop off at a ParcelShop by 11am on 21st December. By the end of October, the business will have more than 16,800 locations to send, collect or return parcels, including Post Office branches, Tesco Express stores, lockers and many independent convenience stores, allowing busy customers to send their parcels at their convenience.

In November 2023, Evri announced a groundbreaking partnership with Post Office for consumers to send Evri parcels at the counter of more than 2,000 Post Office branches for the first time in the Post Office’s 360-year history. By the end of October, less than a year on from the start of the partnership, and in preparation for the festive season, the number of Post Offices branches that accept Evri parcels will total more than 3,200. This brings the total number of Evri’s pick up and drop off locations to more than 16,800.

The UK (domestic) Christmas posting deadlines are:

· Thursday 19th December – last day for courier collections

· Friday 20th December – send standard delivery parcels from a ParcelShop by 11am

· Saturday 21st December – send next-day delivery parcels from a ParcelShop by 11am
