Evri has signed a four-year contract with Vinted, and will continue to deliver items from the second-hand marketplace.
Evri will also become the first UK delivery firm to trial Vinted’s reusable packaging, at selected Evri ParcelShops, later this summer.
David Saenz, chief commercial officer at Evri, said: “We’ve been proud to partner with Vinted during what has been a transformative period of growth in pre-loved and ecommerce for both of our businesses.
“As we embark on the next chapter of our partnership, we are pleased to continue to grow together with customers of Vinted benefiting from access to what we expect will become the UK’s largest network of ParcelShops and Lockers.
“Following an investment of £50 million over the next five years, we will grow our ParcelShop and locker presence to 25,000 locations by 2030.
“Our two businesses are perfectly placed to grow together as the pre-loved boom continues to drive increased demand for Vinted.”
Evri has been a key delivery partner for Vinted since 2018, and the ‘pre-loved’ e-commerce sector has seen substantial growth since then, with Evri finding that 30 million UK adults shopped online for pre-loved items last year.
Evri plans to grow in the e-commerce sector, through doubling its network of parcel lockers, and acquiring Coll-8, an Irish customs clearance specialist.
It has also proposed a merger with DHL UK eCommerce.
Vytautas Atkoičaitis, vice president of Vinted, said: “At Vinted, we want our members to benefit from the most convenient and efficient shipping options.
“Expanding our partnership with Evri ensures that our UK members can continue to use its growing delivery network and its exciting new locker proposition, making it even easier to buy and sell second-hand items.”
Evri plans to become the UK’s premier parcel delivery firm, and aims to deliver one billion parcels and one billion business letters annually.
