  • Evri has become an accredited Seller Fulfilled Prime carrier for Amazon supporting merchants across the UK.
  • This gives Evri the opportunity to grow its business by several million parcels focused on next day delivery.
  • Evri excelled during the trial with Amazon Prime meeting all their requirements by delivering a high-quality service during the trial period, with a delivery success rate of over 97%.

Evri today announces that Amazon has made it an accredited Seller Fulfilled Prime carrier for its Prime service to deliver parcels on behalf of all merchants on the e-commerce giant’s website – reinforcing Evri’s position as the UK’s leading parcel delivery company and giving the opportunity to grow its business by several million parcels a year.

Evri received accreditation for the Amazon Prime service by completing a rigorous 6-week trial, during which it consistently met or surpassed Amazon’s requirement to successfully deliver parcels to stringent standards.

A key requirement of the trial was that Evri could collect the parcels after 4.30pm from Monday to Friday and after 12.30pm on Saturday from the merchants within the UK, to then deliver to recipients the next day, anywhere in the country.

Evri already delivers to individual consumers on Amazon and this new Prime collaboration will allow about 85,000 UK SMEs on the Amazon store to select Evri as their delivery provider across Prime and non-Prime orders, reflecting its status as the value for money carrier on the website.

Supporting the growth of SMEs and Amazon Prime shippers is a key focus for Evri as part of their commitment to offer a competitive, fast, and reliable service for all customers across the UK and abroad no matter how big or small.

This new collaboration with Amazon Prime is an important milestone for Evri. It demonstrates, once again, that Evri is a parcel industry disruptor that is helping to bring down the cost of delivery for consumers and businesses, and offering a fast, reliable, and cost-effective service to compete with the UK’s traditional carriers. Evri has always been committed to supporting businesses, big and small, and Amazon’s website is a great way to demonstrate – at the highest level – what we can help them achieve.

The accreditation by Amazon Prime reflects Evri’s commitment to investing in technology, fulfilment and customer service, as well as reinforcing Evri’s high service performance & network scale domestically & abroad given that it delivers more than 700 million parcels each year.
