Evri Marked Delivered But Not Received: How to Get Your Refund
If the tracking shows your parcel was delivered, but you never got it with a Evri delivery, you have rights as a UK consumer. Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says the retailer is responsible for the goods until they reach the consumer. A 'delivered' scan in the tracking is not enough by itself. Evri is the courier the retailer chose, so under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 your contract is with the retailer, not Evri. Use this page to check what to do next, the Evri claim window, and when to escalate if the retailer refuses. Compensation figures vary by service, so always verify the current numbers on Evri's website before relying on them.
How to claim a refund
- 1
Open the Evri tracking page and screenshot the "delivered" status, time, and any GPS or photo proof for your records.
- 2
Check the safe place, neighbours and household members. Most "missing" parcels turn up within 24 hours.
- 3
Contact the retailer in writing and quote Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The retailer must investigate, not pass you to Evri.
- 4
Ask the retailer to file a claim with Evri via Evri's online claim form and the Ezra chatbot. The claim window is 28 days from the estimated delivery date (verify on the Evri website).
- 5
If 14 days pass with no fix, request a full refund or replacement. Mention that the retailer is liable until you take physical possession.
- 6
If refused, escalate via Section 75 (credit card, items over £100) or chargeback (debit card, within 120 days). For postal escalation, use the Postal Redress Service (POSTRS) once Evri issues a deadlock letter or 8 weeks pass without resolution.

Frequently asked questions
Should I claim from Evri or the retailer?
Claim from the retailer. Evri is the courier the retailer chose, so under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 your contract is with the retailer, not Evri. Asking Evri directly will usually fail because your contract is with the retailer.
What is Evri's claim window for this issue?
28 days from the estimated delivery date (verify on the Evri website). Always check the current terms on Evri's own website before relying on a deadline.
What if the retailer refuses to refund?
If your order was over £100 and paid by credit card, file a Section 75 claim with your card issuer. For debit card or smaller amounts, request a chargeback within 120 days. You can also escalate via the Postal Redress Service (POSTRS) once Evri issues a deadlock letter or 8 weeks pass without resolution.
Evri tracking says delivered — isn't that proof?
No. A tracking scan or photo is not proof you took physical possession. Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 puts the burden on the retailer until the goods reach you.
How long should I wait before raising a claim?
Most retailers ask you to wait 24–48 hours after a "delivered" scan in case the parcel turns up. After that, contact the retailer in writing and quote the Consumer Rights Act.
