Evri delivered ‘record parcel volumes’ in peak Christmas trading period
Evri has revealed that it delivered “record parcel volumes” over its peak Christmas trading period.
This included its biggest week in its 50-year history when it handled 24.7 million parcels in the week following Black Friday to mark an increase of 20.8% on the same period in 2023.
Its total parcel volumes rose by 12% to 173 million over the nine weeks to 28 December 2024, despite the disruption caused by Storm Darragh early in the month.
On average Evri delivered 2.7 million parcels a day over the festive period and this rose to almost 3.8 million on its busiest day on 4 December.
Martijn De Lange, chief executive of Evri, said: “We continue to see fast growth towards our five-year target to become a billion parcel a year business and the Christmas trading period was no exception with our delivery volumes demonstrating that retailers’ online offerings fared much better than expected.
“We saw record volumes of deliveries and double-digit growth as generous shoppers treated loved ones and friends.”
