So, which is the best next day courier service?

 

Well, that all depends on what’s the most important aspect of parcel delivery to you, be it parcel delivery prices, speed, reliability and quality of service, customer reviews or possibly the number of available drop off points. We decided to compare even further to give you the best postage comparison…

 
 

Compare courier prices

 

In all the couriered parcel costs comparisons above, we have the cheapest courier prices for both Depot Drop Off and Home or Business Collection delivery services. Our Depot-to-Depot prices are cheaper still, as seen in our parcel quote comparison, offering our customers the best savings on courier services.

Fastest delivery service

 

All postage comparisons made above were for next day delivery; as you can see not all were able to provide a comparable service across the same weight bands we offer. And some of the parcel delivery price differences are huge - as much as £50 for a 25kg parcel.

 
 

Drop off points available

 

There are over 3,500 drop at shop ServicePoints and 50 Depots across the country, there’s probably one right near you. We offer savings on all drop off services which makes this option appealing for the price-conscious. Our comparisons were based on a drop off service – many courier services also have plenty of drop off points, so this alone will probably not be the only reason to use any particular one.

 
 

Most generous parcel cover amount

 

A point to remember is one everyone hopes not to need, but is good to know is there; cover for your parcel. To compare courier prices for next day delivery accurately, we checked that the couriers were able to offer parcel cover – and they all do to some extent – but few offer the £25 level of cover that we include without charging extra. Beware though: some couriers only give £10 cover. We also give you £50 cover as standard on all international orders. 

 
 

Quality of service / customer reviews

 

With thousands of customer reviews given to us via Feefo, you can trust us to provide great service – just take a look for yourself! Unsurprisingly, not all courier services provide such transparency when it comes to reviews, but maybe that's because few have a four-star rating like we do.

As you can see, we are one of the best next day couriers in the UK when looking at price, service, speed, and convenience, and thinking about your own requirements, you might find it worth trying us for your next delivery – not only for the reasons we’ve given, but also for the many still to mention!

 

 
 

Parcel collection and delivery service

 

The next time you flinch at what the Post Office charges for parcels – while also wishing you didn’t have to stand in the queue when you’ve got so many better things you could be doing – remember we provide a collection service. We come to right to your door, or a designated safe place if that suits you better, pick up your parcel and deliver it next day, easy as that! See our page on parcel collection and delivery for more information.

We collect and deliver Internationally to over 160 destination countries. For many countries, you can choose from DHL Parcel Connect, DHL Parcel International, Road Economy Delivery and Worldwide Air Delivery options which affect the cost to send your parcel, but still offer the same great service of door to door parcel collection and delivery to Europe and worldwide. See our list of countries we deliver to for more info and to get a quote now.

 
 

Parcel tracking

 

This might seem like a given when you send a parcel these days, but not so. It might not be the most important part of courier services for some, but if you’ve bought something online like clothing, soft furnishings or other homewares and need to make returns – Evri isn’t the only service you can use to get value for money, tracked deliveries to return items back to the retailer. We give you access to our online parcel tracking system as part of our standard UK and Ireland parcel delivery service. We provide this for our International Deliveries too, at no extra cost.
