DHL & Evri Announce UK Merger

DHL and Evri Announce Major UK Delivery Merger

16th May 2025, 2:02pm in News by Dan Jones

DHL and Evri are set to merge their UK parcel delivery operations, forming a major new player in the logistics market. Together, they’ll be able to handle over a billion parcels and a billion letters each year.

This merger brings together the strengths of both companies—Evri’s wide network of couriers, ideal for high-volume, lower-value deliveries like clothing, and DHL’s reliable, secure service for more valuable items such as electronics.

The deal will also allow Evri to expand into letter delivery, using DHL’s existing bulk mail services for businesses. Customers can expect a broader range of delivery options, including smaller items and letters, supported by a network of 15,000 out-of-home delivery points across shops and lockers for added convenience.

International growth is also on the cards, as Evri will now be able to tap into DHL’s global network. DHL’s UK e-commerce arm will be rebranded as “Evri Premium – a network of DHL eCommerce”, while DHL retains a minority stake in the newly combined business. Other DHL services like DHL Express remain separate from the deal.

The merger is subject to approval by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority.

Customer Benefits

By combining forces, DHL and Evri are set to offer more flexible, efficient, and wide-reaching delivery solutions—both domestically and internationally. This increased scale could lead to improved service options, faster delivery times, and more competitive pricing, creating stronger competition for Royal Mail and other major carriers.

What Changes Now?

For now, it’s business as usual. There are no immediate changes to delivery services or pricing for customers. Both Evri and DHL will continue to operate as normal during the merger process, and any future updates will be communicated once the merger receives regulatory approval.
