The parcel delivery giant , known to many as Hermes, operates across the UK, but if you’ve ever wondered about the wages their dedicated drivers take home, there might be a surprise in store. and Evri courier Isaac dished out the financial details of his own delivery experiences, revealing that can fluctuate daily.
He put together a brief video for his viewers posing the question: “Can you make £100 a day?” The answer is affirmative, according to him, if one is prepared to hustle and handle a high volume of parcels. Isaac broke it down: “You’re getting 50p a collection, no matter what you’re collecting. A postable gets you 38p, despite some postables not being able to be actually posted.
“You get 47p per packet that you deliver – and there’s going to be a lot of packets, and your standard box gets you about 63p, unless it’s heavy or you have to use two hands because then, it’s £1.”
At first glance, these numbers may not seem impressive, but with the sheer number of packages like Isaac deliver, the potential daily earnings can soar to £100, based on how long and hard one chooses to work.
In the digital realm of comments, one person shared that a friend makes up to £750 weekly owing to intense daily effort. The user outlined the reality: “This is the problem if you wanna earn an extra £50 to £100 a week its a nice little quick side hustle but my mate works here and he earns over £750 a week because of how many he does daily. Can be great money but hard work to earn it.”
Isaac hit back at critics, writing: “Agreed, being self-employed really teaches you self-worth. If you want to earn as much as you think you’re worth, then be prepared to work as hard as you can! ” Meanwhile, another chimed in on the costs, mentioning that you have to “pay petrol” to make deliveries, which isn’t exactly a drop in the ocean.
Addressing concerns, an Evri spokesperson assured : “Couriers are at the heart of our business and all of Evri’s people are paid above the National Living Wage, with the average courier pay in excess of £17 per hour. Evri is committed to good employment practices, and it was this commitment that led us to be the first parcel company to introduce holiday pay, the right to guaranteed pay, an automatic pension scheme, and parental leave for our couriers.
If any courier feels that they have received pay which is different from what they were expecting, we ask that they contact their manager so that we can look into this immediately,” reports
