How are Evri round sizes allocated to couriers?
Evri round sizes and parcel volumes are allocated based on your vehicle capacity, your agreed availability and local depot needs.
Last checked 25/10/2026.
Evri allocates round sizes based on the capacity of your vehicle, the geographic area you cover, and the volume of parcels coming through your local depot. When you start, you agree on a standard round size that fits your car or van without overloading.
Volumes fluctuate day by day. Peak periods like Christmas or bank holidays bring higher parcel counts, while quieter weeks see standard loads. Your local field manager handles the daily manifest based on what is in the depot for your postcode sector.
