Evri is rolling out a vast network of 10,000 smart parcel lockers across the UK, as part of a £50 million investment aimed at improving delivery convenience. The lockers, available 24/7 for both parcel pick-ups and returns, come in response to growing demand for flexible delivery options. The company has already seen a remarkable 500% rise in locker usage over the past year.
With plans to have 2,000 lockers operational by Christmas 2025, Evri aims to complete the rollout by 2030. The lockers will feature advanced technology, including label printers, drop boxes, and parcel detection sensors, designed to streamline the final delivery stage and cut costs.
The expansion also supports Evri’s broader commitment to sustainability, offering an alternative to doorstep deliveries, which can be resource-intensive. Alongside this initiative, Evri will continue expanding its ParcelShop network, providing more drop-off and collection points across the UK.
As the company grows, it’s also set to enter the UK business letter market through its recent merger with DHL’s e-commerce arm. While this move strengthens Evri’s competitive position, it is being reviewed by UK regulators due to potential concerns over market dominance.
