Evri (Hermes) shipping services and rates
Hermes still operates under this brand for European parcel deliveries, but it now uses only the Evri name for shipments in the UK.
Hermes offers a series of shipping services throughout Europe, with the Hermes standard deliveries being particularly popular in Germany, Austria and the UK. For standard deliveries from the UK, the Hermes shipping costs and rates depend on the size and weight of the parcel, the destination and the type of service. Deliveries made to a Hermes parcel shop or locker are more affordable, but the collection can only be made within working hours of the respective Hermes parcel shop or locker. Hermes parcel deliveries must weigh under 15 kg. It is not possible to send heavier parcels with Hermes, either domestically or internationally.
