    I wouldn't be surprised if this sale had been on the cards for years but the paperwork never arrived.

    Can't believe they are worth £2bn

    Instant loss for any buyer. I doubt they have reported their "losses"

    Evri is the best courier in our area by far. Always reliable. Worst are DPD and then close between Yodel and Royal Fail

    And in my area dpd and Royal Mail are best and by 10 country miles evri is the worse if I know a company uses evri I won’t buy from them  (edited)

    Current owners pulled almost £800m dividend from it. Sounds like BHS all over again!

    Evri’s owners extracted a £762m dividend from the delivery giant in 2022. So the owners have loaded Evri with debt and now want to sell. Standard practice for private equity companies.

    And our gov will continue to allow it. Will tax payer be left with a pensions bill (like BHS)

    You can definitely rely on them to steal your parcels

    The parcel market is becoming tough, Yodel and Evri are for sale at the moment.

    Have been pretty impressed with evri myself. Whether I've had delivery or pick up my local courier and drop off point has been top notch, Just last week i ordered something on Saturday with a 3 working day delivery estimate and received next day(Sunday). Royal mail has gone down hill and dpd I can't fault either.

    Chinese govt would love to get their hands on all the photos of you. My courier thinks I'm weird I grab the parcel with only my arm protruding from the door as he takes a pic.
