A WOMAN has revealed that she started working as an Evri driver but quit after just four days.
And now, the content creator, who is from London, has lifted the lid on what it was like to work for the parcel delivery and courier service.
Not only did she claim that she only got paid 70p per parcel, but she also stressed that she didn’t receive any compensation or money towards fuel either.
Posting on social media, the young woman explained that she started working for Evri as a side hustle after she saw them advertising a £1,000 sign-up bonus for new drivers on LinkedIn.
After completing online and in-person training, she then began by delivering 10 parcels on a shift.
For her next shift, she was given a route with 100 parcels – and it didn’t take long for her to realise that working for one of the UK’s largest parcel delivery companies was not for her.
In two short videos shared online, the young woman got candid on her experience and claimed that Evri drivers only get paid for parcels that are delivered.
Not only this, but she recognised that the average pay per parcel was 70p, as she said: “In my 100 parcels that I’m delivering for the day, the maximum amount I can make is £70, but I have to spend two hours in the morning sorting out the parcels, then I’ve got to drive to destinations and don’t get paid.”
But while she claimed that 70p is the average fee per parcel, the woman acknowledged that some parcels are paid just 56p or 57p each.
The ex-Evri driver then claimed that she worked 11 hour shifts and was left shocked by her take-home pay.
She continued: “I’m not even making minimum wage for under 18s – what is this scam f*****y going on? You’re telling me I’m at £6 something an hour.”
After working long hours over four days, this woman made just £137.60, averaging at just £34.40 a day.
To this, she slammed: “There’s no base rate, it’s just literally you get paid for the parcels that you deliver.”
Not only this, but she claimed that the sign-up bonus was a “scam.” She acknowledged that after approaching her delivery manager about the one-off payment, she was told she would have to go back and look at the T&C’s.
Don’t waste your time. Do not work for Evri

Upon researching, the woman realised that to qualify, you have to have worked for the company for a minimum of 24 days in a month.
She continued: “You can only do 24 days in 30 days if you work six days a week and you only get six days a week if you have a route – what kind of scam f*****y is going on here?”
Following her negative experience working for Evri, the woman claimed that she felt “scammed” and would be “boycotting” the company.
As a result, she warned others looking for work and snapped: “I’m telling you right now, if you are considering doing it, don’t waste your time. Do not work for Evri.”

Social media users react
The woman’s TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @lifewithshaanwx, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 623,000 views.
Social media users were appalled by the woman’s claims and many eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person said: “This is insane.”

Another added: “Omg that’s sad. That’s why they run away so fast when they knock on my door.”
A third commented: “I’m shocked! So awful.”
At the same time, someone else claimed: “Evri is the genuine trenches – when me and my boys went, there was no training, we were just thrust into the warehouse and it’s gotta be one of the worst experiences.”
Responding to the woman’s claims, Evri told Fabulous: “Our 30,000 self-employed couriers are at the heart of our business, and a key component of Evri’s success.
“Whilst we have not been provided any information to verify this person has delivered for Evri, our couriers are paid an average of £20.83 per hour, and we have an industry-leading offer with paid holiday, pension, parental leave and insurance-backed paid sick leave.”
