You have the possibility of rerouting your shipment once you book Evri courier services. However, please bear in mind that by doing so, you will be changing the estimated delivery time, and your package will take longer to arrive. Learn more about how rerouting shipments work.

Do I have to sign for the package delivered by Evri couriers?

It depends on the service. If the shipper has purchased the option of “Signature on delivery”, the receiver must sign the proof of delivery once the package arrives. However, this is an additional & optional service.

At Eurosender, all deliveries already include a signature on delivery, so you can always be sure that your goods were received.

What happens if the Evri parcel is not delivered because the courier could not reach the consignee?

If no one is present at the delivery address to sign and receive the parcel, the Evri courier will make up to 3 other delivery attempts on different days. Packages that have the signature requirement must be received by the consignee. In other cases, the Evri courier may deliver the parcel to a neighbour or a safe location.
