phone call from evri saying i must get a van collection.....
I got a phone call from evri saying that as my volumes have gone over a certain level, I have to have a van come to collect my parcels from my location and I shouldn't use evri parcelshops as it may 'overwhelm the network'. I normally just drop in to the shop next door who is an evri parcel shop. The lady said she could see my amazon volumes and that this will just be over the christmas peak period. It wasn't a scam - she knew my rough numbers and had all my details. Anyway cut a long story short van collection has been booked in to come every day between 4 and 5PM.
Has anyone else had this kind of phone call? I'm currently sending maybe 70 parcels out a day via evri from Amazon, but send more from tiktok / ebay / my own website. Last christmas my amazon orders peaked at around 130 parcels a day in december. I wouldn't have thought it's that much - the parcel shop next door has maybe 500 parcels dropped off every day

Parcelshops are great until your volume becomes a burden for the location (or the collection driver) who are of course trying to run their actual business. Some sellers will drop off at multiple locations, but it is worth you looking at whether you'd benefit from having a business account with Evri or RM for example to see if you can slightly better prices.

I don't know how big your parcels are but even if they are small at that volume it must be a phaff even to have to take them next door and wait while they are scanned etc. Having your own van collection sounds a lot easier to me.
