Ever wondered how much an Evri courier, formerly known as Hermes, earns? YouTuber and Evri courier Isaac has spilled the beans on his earnings, revealing that income can vary day by day.
In a short video for his followers, he asked: “Can you make £100 a day?” According to him, the answer is yes, if you’re willing to work hard and handle a large number of parcels. Isaac explained: “You’re getting 50p a collection, no matter what you’re collecting. A postable gets you 38p, despite some postables not being able to be actually posted.”
“You get 47p per packet that you deliver – and there’s going to be a lot of packets, and your standard box gets you about 63p, unless it’s heavy or you have to use two hands because then, it’s £1.”
While these figures might not seem impressive at first glance, when you consider the sheer volume of packages couriers like Isaac deliver, the potential daily earnings can reach up to £100, depending on how long and hard one chooses to work, reports the Express.
One commenter shared that a friend’s intense daily work results in earning up to £750 weekly. The comment read: “This is the problem if you wanna earn an extra £50 to £100 a week its a nice little quick side hustle but my mate works here and he earns over £750 a week because of how many he does daily. Can be great money but hard work to earn it.”
Isaac countered critics, writing: “Agreed, being self-employed really teaches you self-worth. If you want to earn as much as you think you’re worth, then be prepared to work as hard as you can! ” Another pointed out additional costs, like petrol expenses, which aren’t insignificant.
An Evri spokesperson addressed concerns, assuring LADbible: “Couriers are at the heart of our business and all of Evri’s people are paid above the National Living Wage, with the average courier pay in excess of £17 per hour. Evri is committed to good employment practices, and it was this commitment that led us to be the first parcel company to introduce holiday pay, the right to guaranteed pay, an automatic pension scheme, and parental leave for our couriers.If any courier feels that they have received pay which is different from what they were expecting, we ask that they contact their manager so that we can look into this immediately,” reports The Mirror.
