Big move: DHL and Evri are teaming up in the UK

  • Posted byby Steve

Guess what? DHL just made a huge move in the UK delivery world—and it’s all about teaming up with Evri.

On Wednesday, DHL announced that it’s taking a major minority stake in Evri (yep, the courier formerly known as Hermes). And not just that—they’re merging their DHL eCommerce UK business with Evri.

So… why does this matter?

Together, They’re a Delivery Powerhouse

Think of it like this: DHL brings the global muscle, and Evri brings the local know-how. The goal? To build a one-stop-shop for all things e-commerce—especially for small and medium businesses.

We’re talking serious scale here:

Who’s Evri Again?

Evri has been on the rise—fast.

  • Delivered 800+ million parcels last year

  • Reaches 85% of UK households

  • Supports big players such as M&S, Etsy, and Vinted.

  • 8,000+ employees and 25,000 couriers on the ground

    This partnership with DHL is a total game-changer for Evri. It now gets access to DHL’s 150,000+ access points worldwide and better cross-border shipping.

What’s Changing for You?

Plenty of good stuff!

  • More delivery options

  • Faster shipping times

  • Better customer service

    A new premium service called Evri Premium, using DHL’s van network for high-value or time-sensitive packages.


Good news! You’ll still be able to use the store and locker drop-off spots you know and love. Whether it’s a lighter parcel or a business letter, you’ll still get the convenience you’re used to.

What the Bosses Are Saying?

Martijn de Lange, Evri’s CEO, put it simply:

“We’re creating the pre-eminent parcel delivery group in the UK.”

Boom. A bold move with big ambitions.

 What’s Next?

The deal still needs a thumbs-up from regulators, but once it’s official, this partnership could shake up the UK delivery game in a big way.

So next time you get a package at your door—it might just arrive faster and smoother than ever.
