Sounds like a problem with M&S rather than Evri if they are saying it will be later than expected.

I have never had a problem with Evri, they successfully deliver millions of parcels a day but you only hear about those that do not get delivered.

Our Evri delivery driver is excellent and I now also send all parcels by Evri as they are much more reliable than Royal Mail

I was due a delivery from Evri between 2 and 4.30pm Sunday, I received and email just after 4pm informing me that the driver had had difficulties and my parcel would arrive the next working day.

It was delivered first thing Monday morning.

No problem at all with Evri I use them for sending out ebay stuff and it always gets there within 2 days
Had no problem with deliveries either

No, no problems with Evri, touch wood.

The Amazon delivery person is usually at least half way back up the drive by the time I get to the front door. The parcel is left on the doorstep. The Evri driver doesn’t hang around by any means but does wait to hand me a parcel and has a cheery few words to say.

I'm wondering if rural locations are difficult for Evri although no other delivery service here has problems.

I haven't had any problems either..

Evri were supposed to deliver today but now say tomorrow by 8pm. It's the usual story with them.

Our Evri delivery driver is excelelnt.

However, I got a message last week, saying a parcel was so badly damaged, it could not be delivered. It was a sweater from QVC!

I bought a very expensive item from John Lewis. Home delivery as they don't keep them in stock. We paid a considerable sum for next day delivery. Evri to deliver. Waited in all day only to get an email to say they tried to deliver but we were out!!
As it was a Saturday they had returned it to the depot and would try again on Monday. Absolutely furious. Monday came and we arranged for them to deliver to an Evri drop point. Guess what? They said they couldnt find it so back to depot. Many phone calls to JL later we finally received it a week later.

Our local Evri people are usually OK, pretty reliable and friendly.

Having said that, I was informed recently that my parcel would be arriving between 7 and 9pm. It wasn't - and by 9pm it was pitch black outside anyway. "Here we go," I thought, but was prepared to give them the next day to sort it out. The parcel was delivered (not by the usual person) about 9am next day. I felt that was reasonable.

We don't have a problem with them.

I have the nicest, friendliest most reliable Evri delivery driver.
She and I are fast becoming old friends!

I don't have any problems with them.
None at all.

Maybe you have lazy/stressed out/ill delivery people?

Amazon for some reason are sending my order with Evri so I'm expecting problems. Deliveries I've had before have been late or delivered to an address further down the road twice.
Amazon are usually good and DPD.

It's why I don't do on-line shopping.

We're having trouble too with a big pit of stain for the fence.

hazel93 Tue 01-Apr-25 14:17:55

Should have said seperate orders !

hazel93 Tue 01-Apr-25 14:16:10

Anyone else have constant problems with this carrier ? I would prefer to spend a little more on carriage rather than retailers using this company.
As of this am. rose bush ordered on the 21/3 still "on the way " , no update. Email from M&S to let me know delivery will be later than expected.
Drives me mad.
