Evri Faces Delivery Delays Following Pedal and Post Liquidation
Background on Pedal and Post
Pedal and Post was an eco-friendly courier firm that pioneered bicycle deliveries in urban areas. After nearly 14 years of operation, the company has entered liquidation, resulting in the loss of 60 jobs.
As a result of this liquidation, Evri has issued an apology for significant delays in its delivery services in Oxford. The collapse of its partner has caused disruptions for local customers, with some experiencing issues with their parcels.
Statements from Key Parties
Christopher Benton, a representative from Pedal and Post, stated, “Despite exploring every possible avenue to continue – and truly exhausting all options – we have reached the point where we can no longer sustain the business.” He also expressed gratitude to the community, saying, “Your support meant everything.”
An Evri spokesman commented, “We were disappointed to learn that our e-cargo bike delivery partner in Oxford ceased trading without notice, which caused some temporary disruption for a small number of customers in the local area.”
Customer Experiences
Observers are closely monitoring the situation as Evri navigates the challenges posed by the loss of its delivery partner. The company is expected to work on solutions to mitigate the impact on its services in the coming days.
