Where Can I Drop Off Evri Parcels?

Evri parcels can be dropped off at an Evri ParcelShop, Evri Locker or participating Post Office branch. Senders can also arrange an Evri courier collection from a home or workplace if travelling to a drop-off point is inconvenient.

Evri operates one of the UK’s largest out-of-home parcel networks. Its current business information states that the network includes 11,500+ ParcelShops and Lockers, including more than 9,500 ParcelShops.

Evri has also previously reported that 97% of urban consumers are within one mile of an Evri pick-up or drop-off point.

For most people, the best choice depends on the parcel’s size, whether a label needs printing, the required opening hours and whether the parcel is being sent, returned or collected.

How Do You Find the Nearest Evri Drop-Off Point?

The simplest method is to use Evri’s official location finder or the Evri mobile app.

The location finder allows customers to search by postcode or area and compare nearby ParcelShops, Lockers and participating Post Office branches.

Before travelling, customers should check:

• Whether the location accepts Evri parcels.
• Whether it is a ParcelShop, Locker or Post Office.
• Current opening or access hours.
• Label-printing facilities.
• Whether returns are supported.
• Accessibility information.
• Whether a particular retailer QR code is accepted.
• Whether the parcel will fit the location’s size limits.

Evri’s location information can also show accessibility features such as step-free access, accessible parking and power-assisted doors at participating locations.

Customers can also use the Evri app to book and pay for parcels, locate ParcelShops and Lockers and manage tracking.

How Close Is the Nearest Evri ParcelShop or Locker?

Evri’s network has expanded considerably.

Its ParcelShop pages currently report more than 9,000 local businesses, while newer business information refers to 9,500+ ParcelShops and 11,500+ ParcelShops and Lockers combined.

Evri previously reported that 96% of the UK’s urban population lived within one mile of a ParcelShop or Locker.

More recent expansion material published in 2025 increased this to over 97% of urban consumers being within one mile of an Evri pick-up/drop-off location.

The exact nearest location should still be checked because individual sites can open, close or change the Evri services they provide.

Can You Drop Off an Evri Parcel at a ParcelShop?

Yes. Evri ParcelShops operate inside thousands of convenience stores, supermarkets, newsagents and other local businesses.

Customers can generally use them to:

• Send parcels.
• Return online purchases.
• Collect eligible deliveries.
• Print parcel labels.
• Drop off international shipments.
• Hand over marketplace orders.

Most ParcelShops have a Print In ParcelShop device. A sender can book online, receive a QR code and use the device to print the shipping label in-store.

This makes a ParcelShop particularly useful when the sender does not own a printer.

What Is the Maximum Evri ParcelShop Parcel Size?

A standard Evri parcel can weigh up to 15kg.

Evri’s current standard size rules also state:

• Maximum weight: 15kg.
• Maximum length: 120cm for ParcelShop and courier services.
• Maximum combined length and circumference: 245cm.

Evri calculates the combined measurement by adding the two shortest sides together, multiplying the result by two and adding the longest side. The total must be below 245cm.

For example, a parcel may be light enough to meet the 15kg limit but still be rejected if its dimensions exceed the maximum.

Businesses should therefore measure and weigh parcels after packaging rather than relying on the dimensions of the product alone.

How Does an Evri ParcelShop Drop-Off Work?

A normal ParcelShop drop-off involves:

1. Packaging the item securely.
2. Booking the delivery online or through the Evri app.
3. Printing the label at home or selecting a printer-free option.
4. Taking the parcel and QR code or label to the ParcelShop.
5. Printing and attaching the label if required.
6. Handing the parcel to the member of staff.
7. Making sure it has been scanned and accepted.
8. Keeping the digital proof of postage.

Customers should not simply leave a parcel on a counter without confirming that it has been accepted.

Can You Drop Off an Evri Parcel at a Locker?

Yes. Evri Lockers provide a self-service alternative to ParcelShops.

Many are located outside supermarkets, shops and other retail sites and can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

A Locker can be particularly useful for someone dropping off parcels before work, late in the evening or on a Sunday.

How to Use an Evri Locker?

A typical Locker drop-off involves:

1. Booking the parcel online or through the Evri app.
2. Selecting Locker as the drop-off option.
3. Taking the parcel to a compatible Evri Locker.
4. Scanning the parcel barcode or booking QR code.
5. Entering the 16-digit barcode manually if scanning fails.
6. Selecting a suitable compartment.
7. Placing one parcel inside.
8. Closing the Locker door securely.
9. Keeping the drop-off confirmation.

Many newer Lockers also allow customers without printers to scan a QR code and print the label at the Locker.

What Is the Largest Parcel That Fits in an Evri Locker?

The largest Evri Locker compartment measures:

62cm × 57cm × 39cm.

A parcel that exceeds those dimensions should normally be taken to a ParcelShop or booked for courier collection instead.

The general 15kg weight limit still applies to standard Evri parcels.

If the first Locker compartment offered is too small, the terminal can allow the sender to select a larger available compartment.

Only one parcel should be placed in each compartment. Multiple parcels need separate bookings, labels and compartments.

Can You Drop Off Evri Parcels at the Post Office?

Yes, but not every Post Office branch provides Evri services.

Participating Post Office branches can offer Evri parcel drop-off, and certain locations also allow customers to book and pay for an Evri delivery at the counter.

Evri’s current location information specifically lists Post Office branches as part of its drop-off network.

Possible services include:

Post Office service	What it allows
Prepaid drop-off	Hand over a parcel already booked online
Retailer return	Return an eligible online purchase
Label printing	Print an eligible parcel label
Counter booking	Book and pay for selected Evri services

Customers should confirm that a particular branch accepts Evri before travelling.

Opening hours also vary considerably. People planning a weekend drop-off may find the site’s information about Post Office Sunday opening times useful when comparing nearby branches.

Do You Need to Print an Evri Label Before Drop-Off?

Not necessarily.

A parcel label can normally be obtained in several ways:

• Printed at home.
• Printed through a Print In ParcelShop device.
• Printed at a compatible Evri Locker.
• Printed through certain participating Post Office services.

Most ParcelShops offer label-printing facilities, while many Evri Lockers now also support printer-free bookings.

A customer should nevertheless follow the instructions supplied with the particular booking or retailer return. One QR code is not necessarily interchangeable between every location type.

Can You Send an Evri Parcel Without a Printer?

Yes.

For a printer-free booking, the sender can normally select an appropriate printing option during checkout and receive a QR or authorisation code.

At a ParcelShop, this can be scanned using the Print In ParcelShop device.

When using a code:

• Open the original QR code.
• Increase the phone’s screen brightness.
• Make sure the entire code is visible.
• Avoid using a blurred or heavily compressed image.
• Keep the authorisation number available if one was supplied.

A screenshot can be useful when mobile data reception is unreliable, provided the barcode remains clear.

What Is Evri Postable?

Evri Postable is designed for small, lightweight, letterbox-friendly parcels.

Under Evri’s current rules, a Postable parcel can be:

• Up to 35cm long.
• Up to 23cm wide.
• Between 1cm and 3cm deep.
• Between 250g and 1kg in weight.

Examples may include books, stationery, small toys, accessories and other thin products.

Postable parcels can be sent using courier collection, ParcelShops and Lockers.

For an online seller regularly shipping small products, Postable can therefore be worth comparing with ordinary 0–1kg parcel pricing.

Can International Evri Parcels Be Dropped Off?

Yes. Evri ParcelShops and Lockers can be used for eligible international shipments.

Evri currently offers international delivery to more than 200 countries and territories, although service availability and delivery time vary by destination.

For European destinations, some services can take around three to seven working days, but senders should use the live destination estimate rather than assuming that timetable applies worldwide.

An international booking normally requires information including:

• Recipient details.
• Parcel weight and dimensions.
• Contents.
• Value.
• Purpose of the shipment.
• Relevant customs information.
• Tariff or HS code where required.

Evri collects customs information during online booking and can generate the necessary customs documentation from the information supplied.

Senders must still enter accurate details because incomplete or incorrect declarations can result in customs delays or additional charges.

For small businesses exporting to EU customers, IOSS may also be relevant for eligible marketplace or business sales up to €150.

Best Evri Drop-Off Options for Small Businesses and Online Sellers

A business dispatching one parcel occasionally has different requirements from a seller shipping dozens of orders every week.

For low parcel volumes, taking customer orders to a nearby ParcelShop or Locker can be efficient because there is no need to wait for a courier collection.

As volume increases, repeatedly taking individual parcels to a shop can consume significant staff time.

Evri Options by Parcel Volume

Business situation	Potential Evri option
Occasional seller	Standard account and ParcelShop/Locker
Several orders together	Bulk Send
Around 40+ parcels per month	Frequent Seller account
More than 75 parcels per week	Business Account
Large regular dispatches	Scheduled business collections

Evri currently describes its Frequent Seller Account as being aimed at businesses sending around 40 or more parcels per month, with discounted UK and international rates.

Its Business Account is intended for businesses sending more than 75 parcels per week and can include tailored pricing, regular collections and dedicated support.

For higher-volume sellers, courier collection may be more efficient than sending a member of staff to a ParcelShop every day.

Can Evri Connect to eBay, Amazon, Etsy and Shopify?

Yes. Evri’s Bulk Send tools support integrations with a range of ecommerce stores and marketplaces.

Supported integrations currently include platforms such as:

• eBay.
• Amazon.
• Etsy.
• Shopify.
• WooCommerce.
• TikTok Shop.
• OnBuy.
• BigCommerce.
• Squarespace.
• Magento.
• Not On The High Street.
• Temu.

Evri allows sellers to import orders, create labels in bulk and manage shipping preferences through its integrations.

This can reduce the time spent manually entering individual customer addresses.

For businesses dispatching at weekends, the site’s coverage of Evri Saturday deliveries is also relevant when deciding when orders should be prepared and dropped off.

Can Vinted, eBay, Depop or Etsy Parcels Be Dropped Off With Evri?

Yes, where the marketplace transaction provides an Evri shipping label or the seller independently books an eligible Evri delivery.

However, marketplace sellers should follow the shipping method attached to each individual order. An Evri QR code should be taken only to the location types permitted by that booking.

For eBay and Etsy, Evri also provides direct ecommerce integration options for sellers handling higher parcel volumes.

Vinted has an established relationship with Evri. In 2025, the companies also ran an eight-week trial offering free reusable packaging at selected Evri ParcelShops.

The scheme began at more than 100 shops and was planned to expand to almost 300 locations during the trial.

That packaging initiative was announced as a trial, so Vinted sellers should not assume free packaging is available at their local ParcelShop in 2026 without checking first.

For Depop and other marketplaces, the shipping label and order instructions should be treated as authoritative. If an order uses a different courier, it should not be taken to an Evri location simply because there is an Evri ParcelShop nearby.

Are Evri ParcelShops Useful for High-Volume Sellers?

They can be, particularly when orders are small enough to carry easily and a ParcelShop is close to the business.

Advantages include:

• Long opening hours.
• Weekend availability.
• Label printing.
• No need to wait for a collection.
• Digital proof of postage.
• Convenient local locations.

However, a business sending dozens of parcels per day should also calculate the staff cost of packing parcels into a vehicle, travelling to the shop, unloading them and waiting for every parcel to be scanned.

At that point, a business account or scheduled collection may make more operational sense.

How Are Evri Returns Different From Standard Drop-Offs?

A normal parcel booking generally requires the sender to enter an address, choose the parcel weight and service, pay for delivery and obtain a label.

A retailer return is different because the retailer decides which return methods are available.

A typical return process involves:

1. Opening the retailer’s return portal.
2. Entering the order details.
3. Selecting Evri where offered.
4. Choosing ParcelShop, Locker or collection if options are provided.
5. Obtaining a label or QR code.
6. Packaging the item as instructed.
7. Dropping it off or arranging collection.
8. Keeping proof of postage until the refund is completed.

Not every retailer supports Evri returns, and not every retailer return works at every type of Evri location.

How Long Will an Evri ParcelShop Hold a Parcel?

The collection period should always be checked in the customer’s Evri notification because different services and arrangements may apply.

Evri’s current business information states that customers can have up to 10 days to collect from a ParcelShop, while Locker collections generally allow up to three days.

Parcel2Go separately describes the ParcelShop holding period as up to seven working days.

Seven working days and ten calendar days can produce a similar practical window depending on weekends, but customers should not calculate the deadline themselves.

The expiry date or collection deadline supplied with the actual parcel should take priority.

What Should a Sender Check Before Leaving an Evri Parcel?

Before walking away from a drop-off point, the sender should make sure:

• The correct shipping label is attached.
• Old barcodes have been removed or covered.
• The parcel has been scanned.
• The tracking number matches the parcel.
• Proof of postage has been received.
• Any digital receipt has arrived.
• Each parcel in a multi-order batch has been accepted separately.

Businesses dispatching multiple customer orders may also benefit from photographing labelled parcels before handover.

Any photographs containing customer addresses or personal information should be stored appropriately and deleted when no longer required.

What Happens If an Evri Code Will Not Scan?

If a QR code or barcode will not scan:

• Increase the phone screen brightness.
• Clean the display.
• Open the original booking code.
• Check that the code has not expired.
• Try entering the authorisation or barcode number manually.
• Ask ParcelShop staff for assistance where appropriate.

Evri Lockers permit customers to manually enter the 16-digit barcode number if scanning fails.

If a retailer-generated return code continues to fail, the sender should check the retailer’s return instructions before creating a new booking.

What If the Evri Locker Is Full?

If the chosen Locker is full, the sender should search for another compatible Evri location.

A parcel should never be left beside a Locker.

If a Locker compartment opens but is too small, the customer can request a larger compartment where one is available.

If the parcel exceeds the maximum Locker dimensions of 62cm × 57cm × 39cm, it should normally be taken to a ParcelShop or sent through courier collection instead.

Can Evri Parcels Be Dropped Off at Weekends?

Yes.

Almost all Evri ParcelShops are promoted as being open seven days a week, although individual opening hours vary. Lockers are commonly accessible 24/7.

Evri also supports weekend parcel movement. However, courier collection differs from drop-off: Evri states that collections are available between 8am and 6pm on Saturdays, but it does not normally provide home collections on Sundays or bank holidays.

People needing to send something on a Sunday may therefore find a ParcelShop or Locker more practical than home collection.

What Is the Latest Evri Drop-Off Time for Next Day Delivery?

Evri generally requires eligible Next Day parcels to be dropped at a participating ParcelShop or Locker before 12 noon.

For Friday drop-offs, Evri states that parcels deposited before 12pm can move overnight towards Saturday delivery. Weekend Next Day services may be more limited, so a Sunday drop-off should not automatically be expected to arrive on Monday.

The service shown during booking should always take priority over a general cut-off time.

Is Evri Expanding Its ParcelShop and Locker Network?

Yes.

Evri announced a £50 million investment in June 2025 to expand its ParcelShop and Locker estate to 25,000 locations by 2030.

The programme included plans for 10,000 smart Lockers and represented more than a doubling of the network as it stood when the investment was announced.

More recent information shows the network has continued growing, with Evri now describing an out-of-home estate of more than 11,500 ParcelShops and Lockers.

For small businesses, the expansion could make out-of-home shipping increasingly practical by reducing the distance staff or business owners need to travel for parcel dispatch and customer returns.

Which Evri Drop-Off Option Is Best?

For most senders:

Choose a ParcelShop when staff assistance, label printing or larger parcel limits are important.

Choose an Evri Locker for quick, self-service access, particularly outside normal opening hours.

Choose a participating Post Office when counter service is more convenient or postal errands are being completed at the same time.

Choose courier collection when travelling to a drop-off location is inconvenient or a business sends enough parcels for regular collections to save staff time.

Before leaving for any location, senders should check the parcel’s weight, dimensions, label requirements and the services provided by that specific site.
