Evri apologises for parcel delivery delays

Parcel firm Evri has apologised to customers across the UK who are continuing to wait for delayed Christmas deliveries. The firm said that staff shortages, Royal Mail strikes and bad weather had contributed to the problems and it was working to sort them out. A spokesperson said: “We are sorry that some customers are experiencing short, localised delays. We continue to be impacted by high demand, staff shortages and bad weather conditions. Despite incredible efforts from all of our people, our service has not been as good as we would have liked in some areas.”
