Am I the only one to whom the name "Evri" is instantly forgettable and meaningless?
"Hermes" has been around for years, has a certain ring to it, and is the name of the messenger of the gods (so at least vaguely
relevant).
Now I think they've just confused everyone, for no gain... but I'm no marketing consultant, so what do I know...
My theory on it, is that Hermes where so poor at doing there job that a name change was required to trick the unfortunate into believing it's a
different company.
still comes into inbox as myhermes
then I get another email from Evri...
Tbh I both names are meaningless and I have never until now given it a single thought, you must be bored to get wound up by that

They were parcelnet at the previous name change with a similar reputation, i have to say our local driver is great, however i can't count the
number of things that have been lost by them in their system before they've reached the local depot, and would not use them out of choice to send
anything of value!

Apparently Hermes decided that their brand was dead due to being completely hopeless and probably too expensive to change that with their
customers.Like David we had a good one and probably the best of many different couriers we use.
So Evri was launched with a complete revamp.So far I’m quite impressed.
This is what I got from them a few weeks back.:
Despite this on the intended day of delivery, it actually came the day after, straight to the office door.
Couriers all seem to have become pretty bad over the past few months.
At work we used UPS for 15+ years without issue, now utter tripe and huge price increases.
Changed to DHL who worked well for a while, but are now becoming pretty bad.
DPD work well for me, but i think its very dependant on your local driver for deliveries and lap of gods for anything yours sending.

I must be very lucky as my local driver for Hermes is excellent, as is DPD, Parcelforce and the postie.
I have got used to pictures of my feet next to a newly delivered parcel.

Fortunately I'm lucky that our local couriers like DPD,DHL etc. know the area and seem to make an effort, often leaving stuff in the garage or
behind the wheelie bin.
My gripe for Evri/Hermes is their using apparently anyone with a car, literally anyone at all! no marked vans, no uniforms, no badges... just some
dodgy random turns up while I'm loading my gun to get them off my land!
Such a totally unprofessional operation.

I've used Hermes to send things at least 25 times and yet to have a problem. Everything I've received via Hermes has also been fine although
they do tend to leave things hidden around my garden if I'm out but I prefer that to having to go to a depot to collect. Certainly no worse than
any of the others.
By far the worst round our way is Royal Mail and Parcelforce. I've had parcels left in my bins on bin day, delivered to neighbours without a card
being left, delivered to a similar address in a town 20 miles away, thrown over our side gate (why couldn't they just open it!). Things I've
sent and received by Royal Mail have arrived broken (despite being very well packaged).
