How long does it take, EVRI??

Nice to read that nothing seems to have changed in 2 years......

Link not working for me.

Reading that article I have to wonder why people still choose to use Evri, I wouldn't send anything with them (all my e bay sales are Royal Mail) and any company that only delivers using Evri doesn't get used.

Sent a parcel to daughter no.2 by Evri. Arrived next day. Cheaper than Royal Mail

Since I have moved I’ve had anyone shipping anything to me have them delivered to an Argos that I pass on my way to and from work. Evri seems to be the most common choice for this and it’s proven to be much quicker and a lot more reliable than have them try to deliver to my home.

An Ama zon purchase was due yesterday twixt 17:00 & 19:00.
Message at 17:31 said they tried delivering but were unsuccessful. Little fibbers: our cameras showed no-one anywhere near the property 10 minutes either side of that. Email said they'd try to deliver today.
Knock on the door @ about 20:30..Parcel on the doorstep and the sound of a car driving away 😂

Was it delivered by Amazon, or just sold by them and another courier delivered it?

I've reactivated my Prime as they were the only courier that always have delivered on time to where I want.

I only buy stuff from Amazon if it is small enough to fit in an "Amazon locker" at my local supermarket. That system seems to work.
Most online purchases now, I get them delivered to work where we have a staffed reception area. Difficult for the courier to claim there was no-one in.

For the retail punter what options for sending parcels are there, I know Evri and Royal Mail but I presume all the others (DPD etc) are just for businesses or am I wrong in presuming that?
