• Postable parcels (letterbox-friendly & under 1kg)
• Under 1kg
• 1-2kg
• 2-5kg
• 5-10kg
• 10-15kg

Postable parcels – which means large letters and anything that can easily be posted through a letterbox – can be:

• up to 23cm wide
• up to 35cm long
• between 1 and 3cm deep
• and weigh between 250g and 1kg

The main benefit is that we can safely deliver straight to home or workplace and no one needs to be in the building to receive. Plus, there are all the great features you’d expect from Evri including free tracking, 1-2hr delivery time window, delivery photo confirmation and more.

Usually, sending bigger parcels comes with bigger prices, but at Evri, we manage our prices based on parcel weight, not size. That means you can send large parcels up to 120cm long and with a combined length and circumference of 245cm at a lower cost than you might expect.
