No. Evri Limited has not gone bust.

As of now, the Companies House record for Evri Limited lists the business as active. The company continues to accept parcel bookings, operate its delivery network and publish trading updates.

Evri Group also announced on 13 July 2026 that it was delivering more than one billion parcels annually following its merger with DHL eCommerce UK.

It reported growing parcel volumes, revenue and adjusted earnings for the financial year ending 28 February 2026.

These figures are company-reported and should not be confused with statutory accounts that have already been filed at Companies House.

The rumours appear to have been fuelled primarily by the liquidation of Pedal & Post Ltd, a separate cycle courier and logistics business that reportedly handled some local deliveries involving Evri parcels.

Why Are People Asking Whether Evri Has Gone Bust?

Why Are People Asking Whether Evri Has Gone Bust

The main source of the speculation appears to be news about another courier company entering liquidation.

Pedal & Post Entered Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation

Pedal & Post Ltd was an Oxford-based delivery and logistics business. Its official Companies House insolvency record shows that it entered creditors’ voluntary liquidation on 20 February 2026. Liquidators were appointed on the same date.

A creditors’ voluntary liquidation generally takes place when a company cannot pay its debts and its shareholders agree that it should be wound up. That is different from a solvent restructuring or a company simply changing ownership. The GOV.UK explanation of creditors’ voluntary liquidation confirms that this process applies where a company is insolvent.

Reports connecting Pedal & Post with Evri deliveries may have led some readers to conclude that Evri itself had failed. However:

Evri’s terms also state that it may subcontract some of its obligations. This means a third-party business may handle parts of a delivery operation without becoming the same legal entity as Evri.

Is Evri Limited Still an Active Company?

Yes. Evri Limited remains registered as an active private limited company.

Its Companies House record shows:

The business was previously registered as Hermes Parcelnet Limited before adopting the Evri name.

An “active” Companies House status does not guarantee that a business has no financial risks. It does, however, mean that the official register does not currently identify Evri Limited as dissolved or in liquidation.

There is therefore no official basis for stating that the main Evri courier company has gone bust.

What Do Evri’s Latest Financial Figures Show?

On 13 July 2026, Evri Group published a trading update covering the 52 weeks to 28 February 2026.

The company reported:

Evri said its expansion had been supported by the merger with DHL eCommerce UK and the acquisition of customs and logistics specialist Coll-8.

These figures do not suggest a business that has ceased trading. Nevertheless, adjusted EBITDA is not the same as net profit or available cash, and corporate press releases should be read alongside statutory accounts, balance-sheet information, debt disclosures and cash-flow data.

Evri Limited’s accounts for the year ending 28 February 2026 were not yet due at Companies House when this article was reviewed. Readers should therefore distinguish between the latest corporate performance announcement and the latest publicly filed statutory accounts.

Did Evri Merge With DHL Because It Was in Financial Trouble?

Did Evri Merge With DHL Because It Was in Financial Trouble

There is no official evidence that the Evri and DHL eCommerce UK transaction was an insolvency rescue.

The transaction involved Evri acquiring DHL eCommerce UK while DHL Group obtained a minority stake in Evri. The Competition and Markets Authority reviewed the transaction and announced its clearance on 4 September 2025. The CMA case was formally closed on 5 September 2025.

Evri subsequently confirmed that the merger had completed in October 2025. The enlarged group now includes several operating businesses and services, including Evri, Evri Premium, UK Mail, Evri International and Coll-8.

A merger can result in depot changes, branding changes, role reorganisations and alterations to delivery routes. Those developments may look disruptive locally, but they do not mean the company has gone bust.

Why Does an Evri-Related Company Show as Being in Liquidation?

Some people searching Companies House may find a separate entity called Evri European Logistics Limited showing a liquidation status.

This company is not the same legal entity as Evri Limited.

Companies House records show that Evri European Logistics Limited passed a special resolution to wind up on 27 February 2026 and filed a declaration of solvency.

A declaration of solvency is an important distinction. Under the GOV.UK guidance on members’ voluntary liquidation, directors must assess the company’s assets and liabilities and state that they believe it can pay its debts, including interest, within 12 months.

In other words, a solvent subsidiary may be wound up as part of corporate simplification or restructuring. That does not mean the wider operational group is insolvent.

The records therefore show three different situations:

  1. Evri Limited: active and continuing to trade.
  2. Evri European Logistics Limited: being wound up after filing a declaration of solvency.
  3. Pedal & Post Ltd: a separate company in creditors’ voluntary liquidation.

Treating these three companies as though they were one business produces an inaccurate conclusion.

Is Evri Still Delivering Parcels?

Is Evri Still Delivering Parcels

Yes. Evri’s booking, tracking, ParcelShop and delivery services remain available.

The company maintains an official Evri service status page, which is intended to provide updates when widespread delays or operational issues are affecting deliveries.

A parcel being late, stuck at a depot or showing no recent tracking movement does not establish that the courier has collapsed. Individual delays can result from:

Customers should judge an individual shipment using its tracking history, retailer information and official service updates rather than relying on social media rumours.

What Should Customers Do About a Missing Evri Parcel?

The correct route depends on who purchased the delivery service.

When the Parcel Contains an Online Purchase?

When a consumer buys an item from a retailer, the retailer is normally responsible for ensuring that the goods are delivered.

Citizens Advice states that when a seller uses a courier, the seller should pursue the courier if the order has not arrived. The consumer should therefore contact the retailer rather than being passed indefinitely between the retailer and delivery company.

The customer should retain:

The customer can ask the retailer to investigate and, depending on the circumstances, arrange redelivery or provide a refund.

When the Customer Booked Evri Directly?

A person or business that purchased the delivery directly from Evri should use Evri’s tracking, customer-service and claims procedures.

Eligibility for compensation may depend on:

Customers should read the applicable terms rather than assuming that every delayed or lost parcel automatically qualifies for full compensation.

When Tracking Says Delivered but the Parcel is Missing?

The customer or recipient should first check:

When an online retailer arranged the delivery, unresolved non-delivery should still be raised with the retailer. Citizens Advice recommends contacting the seller before pursuing the courier directly in most online-shopping cases.

What Should Businesses Using Evri Do?

There is currently no official evidence requiring businesses to stop using Evri because of insolvency concerns.

However, businesses should avoid relying entirely on rumours or on a single courier relationship. Sensible operational controls include:

A retailer experiencing repeated service problems may decide to divide parcel volumes between several couriers. That is a commercial resilience decision, not evidence that Evri has collapsed.

How Can Someone Check Whether a UK Courier Has Really Gone Bust?

How Can Someone Check Whether a UK Courier Has Really Gone Bust

The most reliable checks include:

  1. Searching the exact legal company name and company number on Companies House.
  2. Looking for an administration, liquidation or dissolution entry.
  3. Checking whether the insolvency filing applies to the main company, a subsidiary or an unrelated business with a similar name.
  4. Reading official corporate statements and service-status information.
  5. Confirming whether the company is still accepting bookings and operating its network.
  6. Distinguishing a declaration of solvency from a creditors’ liquidation.

Companies House also warns that it does not verify the accuracy of all information submitted to the register. Its records are essential evidence, but they should be considered alongside formal insolvency notices, filed accounts and other primary information.

Final Takeaway

Evri has not gone bust in 2026. Official Companies House records show that Evri Limited remains active and continues operating across the UK.

The rumours appear to stem from the liquidation of separate businesses connected with parts of the delivery network, not from the collapse of Evri itself.

Customers with delayed or missing parcels should check tracking updates and contact the retailer where appropriate.

Businesses should rely on official filings and company statements rather than unverified social media claims online.

Frequently Asked Questions

Has Evri gone into liquidation in 2026?

No. Evri Limited remains listed as active at Companies House. Separate companies, including Pedal & Post Ltd and Evri European Logistics Limited, have liquidation records, but those records do not show that Evri Limited has gone into liquidation.

Is Evri still operating in the UK?

Yes. Evri continues to provide parcel booking, tracking, collection and delivery services in the UK. It also reported more than one billion annual parcel deliveries across the expanded Evri Group in July 2026.

Which courier company connected with Evri went bust?

Pedal & Post Ltd entered creditors’ voluntary liquidation on 20 February 2026. It was a separate delivery and logistics company, not Evri Limited.

Did DHL buy Evri?

The transaction was more complex than a straightforward purchase. Evri acquired DHL eCommerce UK, while DHL Group acquired a minority interest in Evri. The CMA cleared the deal in September 2025, and the merger completed in October 2025.

Why is Evri European Logistics Limited in liquidation?

Its Companies House filing history includes a declaration of solvency and a special resolution to wind up. This indicates a solvent winding-up process rather than evidence that the main Evri parcel business cannot pay its debts.

Are Evri parcels still being delivered?

Yes. Evri remains operational, although individual parcels can still experience delays, missed scans or local delivery problems.

What happens if Evri loses a retailer’s parcel?

When a retailer arranged delivery, the customer should normally contact the retailer. The retailer is responsible for ensuring that an online order reaches the customer and should investigate the problem with the courier.

Should businesses stop using Evri?

There is no official insolvency evidence requiring businesses to stop using Evri. Each business should assess service quality, pricing, delivery performance, compensation terms and the benefits of using more than one courier.

Can an active company still have financial problems?

Yes. An active Companies House status is not a guarantee of financial strength. It primarily confirms that the company remains registered and has not been recorded as dissolved or in liquidation. Financial assessment requires reviewing accounts, cash flow, liabilities, debt and other disclosures.

Where can customers check for Evri delays?

Customers can use the parcel tracking page, contact the retailer and review Evri’s official service-status information. A general service disruption should not automatically be interpreted as an insolvency event.
