A total of 50 Post Office stores in Lancashire are now offering customers the option of sending packages using Evri. 

For the first time in the Post office’s 360-year history, the new service will allow its customers to choose their parcel carrier, from Evri to Royal Mail, over the counter in branches.

The partnership with the Post Office means consumers can send, collect and return Evri parcels over the counter in more than 2,000 Post Office branches across the country this Christmas season and beyond. 

For the first time, Evri customers will be able to hand a parcel directly to a Post Office team member to enter address details and apply a label, rather than using a self-service device.

Chief growth officer at Evri, David Saenz, said: “We’re pleased to give local people more choice and convenience when sending a parcel.

"Whether you’re sending a Christmas gift to a loved one or selling second-hand items online, we’re committed to delivering a high-quality, cost-effective, and reliable service with great quality benefits such as tracking as standard and giving consumers yet another reason to keep using Post Offices, so they remain at the heart of our communities.”
