Does Evri Deliver On Saturdays And Sundays In the UK in 2023? It is a frequent query regarding the weekend delivery of Evri. While there are many delivery companies, why is it so important for Evri’s deliveries to work on the weekend? Not all companies deliver across the length and breadth of the UK.
The weekend deliveries help in getting the parcels delivered on time. The difference between Friday and Monday can be huge, especially in the modern-day age of superior connectivity. Users have also consistently enquired about the Evri deliveries on non-working days. In this article, we’ll discuss the Evri delivery times for weekdays and weekends (Saturdays and Sunday’s).
What Is Evri Parcel?
Evri is the rebranded version of Hermes, which created a new brand entity and logo to go with the name change. They have been delivering parcels since 1974 and are now United Kingdom’s largest dedicated parcel delivery company. They offer several add-on services, including international deliveries. Eight of the UK’s largest retail brands are using Evri for their company’s delivery requirements.
Superunion helmed the rebranding, which is entirely logo and font base, and created in association with Monotype. The 194,481 unique bespoke logo artworks highlight the uniqueness and quality of services. The rebranding also helped rebuild the brand after several negative reviews, including their delivery executives throwing parcels across the fence (in several viral videos). They have also rated a poor 2-star rating on ‘trust’ and a 1-star rating for ‘handling customer problems’.
