Hermes is a logistics and parcel delivery company that is mainly active in Germany, the United Kingdom and a number of other European countries. The company focuses on delivering parcels for both businesses and individuals, with a strong focus on e-commerce. You often see Hermes as a delivery partner for large online stores.

Hermes was founded in 1972 in Germany and is part of the Otto Group, a large German retail organization. In Germany, Hermes is one of the main competitors of Deutsche Post/DHL, and they offer both standard deliveries and returns services.

In the United Kingdom, Hermes has since been rebranded as Evri, a rebranding that was implemented in 2022 to improve the company’s image. Hermes UK has been criticized in the past for its delivery quality and customer service, and Evri is trying to change that.

Hermes works with many parcel points and collection shops, so that customers can collect or return their parcels flexibly.
