You get allocated a specific round or patch by Evri when you sign up, rather than picking different postcodes or streets on each shift.
How rounds are assigned
Evri operates on fixed rounds that cover specific neighborhoods or streets. When you apply to become a courier, the local field manager offers you a round based on what is available in your local area. Most couriers keep the same round day after day so they get to know the local houses and regular customers.
Because rounds are tied to local depot capacity and customer demand, you generally cannot switch your delivery area on a whim. If you move house or want to change your patch, you have to speak with your local manager to see if another round is empty nearby.
