Parcel delivery company Evri has signed a new four-year deal with Vinted to provide customers with access to its growing network of ParcelShop and Locker locations.
Over the summer, Evri will also become the first UK carrier to trial Vinted’s reusable packaging across select locations in Evri’s ParcelShop network. At these trial locations, Vinted users can pick up reusable packaging when dropping off items at the ParcelShop.
The extended partnership builds on the relationship between the two companies which was first formed in 2018 and is in response to a period of significant volume growth for both businesses.
David Saenz, chief commercial officer for Evri, explained, “We’ve been proud to partner with Vinted during what has been a transformative period of growth in pre-loved and e-commerce for both of our businesses.
“As we embark on the next chapter of our partnership, we are pleased to continue to grow together with customers of Vinted benefiting from access to what we expect will become the UK’s largest network of ParcelShops and Lockers.
“Following an investment of £50m [US$67m] over the next five years, we will grow our ParcelShop and Locker presence to 25,000 locations by 2030. Our two businesses are perfectly placed to grow together as the pre-loved boom continues to drive increased demand for Vinted.”
Vytautas Atkoičaitis, vice president of Vinted Go, added, “At Vinted, we want our members to benefit from the most convenient and efficient shipping options.
“Expanding our partnership with Evri ensures that our UK members can continue to use its growing delivery network and its exciting new locker proposition, making it even easier to buy and sell second-hand items.”
