What Are Evri ParcelShops?
Evri has over 7,000 ParcelShop locations across the UK — more than any other courier network. These are local shops, newsagents, and convenience stores where you can drop off pre-labelled parcels without waiting for a collection driver. Many are open evenings and weekends, making them ideal if you work during the day.
How to Find Your Nearest
Use the Evri website or app to search by postcode. You will see a map of nearby ParcelShops with opening hours, accepted parcel sizes, and walking distance. Most urban areas have a ParcelShop within 5 minutes walk. Rural areas may need a short drive.
How to Use a Drop-Off Point
Step 1: Book your delivery online and get a QR code or printed label. Step 2: Package your item securely. Step 3: Take it to your chosen ParcelShop during opening hours. Step 4: The shopkeeper scans your code and gives you a receipt. Step 5: Track your parcel via the Evri app from that point onwards.
Size and Weight Limits
| Limit | Standard ParcelShop | Large ParcelShop |

| Max weight | 15kg | 15kg |
| Max length | 120cm | 120cm |
| Max combined (L+W+H) | 225cm | 245cm |
Drop-Off vs Collection: Which is Cheaper?
Dropping off at a ParcelShop is typically 1-2 GBP cheaper than booking a home collection. For a standard parcel under 2kg, drop-off costs around 2.50 GBP compared to 3.50-4.00 GBP for collection. If your ParcelShop is convenient, it is always worth the saving.
Common Issues and Solutions
ParcelShop full: Some busy locations hit their daily limit. Drop off before midday to avoid this. QR code not scanning: Ensure your phone brightness is at maximum and try a different angle. Wrong opening hours: Always check the Evri app for live hours — some shops change times without updating Google Maps.
Top Tips
Drop off early in the day for same-day dispatch — parcels dropped after 1pm may not leave until the next day. Keep your receipt until delivery is confirmed. If you are sending multiple parcels, call ahead to check the shop has space. Some ParcelShops also accept returns for major retailers like ASOS, Amazon, and eBay.
