Escalation and evidence

If you do not get a satisfactory response, you can escalate. The right route depends on the sector and whether the firm uses an ADR/ombudsman scheme.

  • Sector: couriers
  • Regulator / ombudsman / ADR: Evri’s complaints process; claims may need to be raised by the sender (retailer). Escalation may involve ADR or payment-provider routes depending on contract.
  • Typical wait before escalation: Allow a reasonable time for investigation, particularly where depot scans, GPS tracking, or driver reports must be reviewed.
  • Evidence that helps: Tracking number, delivery confirmation, retailer order reference, photos (damage/location), safe-place details, and correspondence.

Your letter should request a written response and set a reasonable deadline.

Common issues people complain about (Couriers & deliveries)

Typical themes include: Parcel not delivered, Delivered to wrong address, Damaged parcel, Missing parcel, Compensation claim. Keep your complaint focused on the main issue and avoid unrelated grievances.

Important: Who your contract is with

In many consumer purchases, your contract is with the retailer rather than the courier. This means the retailer may remain legally responsible until goods are delivered into your physical possession. If the parcel relates to a purchase, you should also notify the seller.

What to include

Evidence: Tracking number, delivery confirmation, retailer order reference, photos (damage/location), safe-place details, and correspondence.

  • Date and time shown in tracking.
  • GPS or photo proof (if marked delivered).
  • Details of any safe-place or neighbour instructions.
  • Photos of packaging and damage (if applicable).

Your rights under UK consumer law

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be delivered as agreed. For most consumer purchases, risk remains with the retailer until goods come into your physical possession.

  • If a parcel is marked delivered but not received, the seller may remain responsible.
  • If goods arrive damaged, you may be entitled to a refund or replacement.
  • Compensation may depend on the service level and contractual terms.

Referring calmly to statutory rights and contractual obligations can strengthen your complaint.

Escalation and timeframes

Expected wait: Allow a reasonable time for Evri to review tracking data, depot records, and driver logs.

Escalation route: If unresolved, you may need to pursue the issue through the retailer’s complaints process, ADR routes where applicable, or your payment provider (e.g. chargeback) depending on circumstances.

Practical tips

  • Keep your complaint factual and concise.
  • Avoid speculation about theft unless supported by evidence.
  • Take screenshots of tracking before status updates change.
  • Retain all correspondence and delivery notifications.
