Some customers are still waiting for their parcels to be delivered
Evri has sent a message to its customers after many experienced delayed deliveries over Christmas - with some still waiting for their parcels to arrive.
The parcel firm said that staff shortages, Royal Mail strikes and bad weather had contributed to the problems and it was working to sort them out. An Evri spokeswoman said: “We are sorry that some customers are experiencing short, localised delays in receiving their parcels. “We continue to be impacted by high demand, staff shortages and bad weather conditions but due to the hard work of our local teams, we successfully delivered over three million parcels each day over recent weeks. Despite incredible efforts from all of our people, our service has not been as good as we would have liked in some areas, and we are committed to redoubling our efforts this year including a focus on recruitment.
In December, Labour MP Carolyn Harris accused the courier of causing “misery” to people in the run-up to Christmas. In a letter to Evri chief executive Martijn De Lange, Ms Harris called for an “urgent explanation” for the firm’s “inadequate” service, with parcels being delayed, cancelled and in some cases gone missing.
