Overall Summary
Suspicious
Why we think so

Evri (evri.com) is a large, established UK parcel carrier with about 35 million monthly visits and a domain first registered in 2003. The site runs on reputable infrastructure (Amazon/CloudFront, Cloudflare, Route53), publishes multiple official contact emails and social profiles, and appears across recent news items about hiring and service updates. At the same time, Evri is a frequent target of impersonation scams (smishing / phishing) and many public complaints about lost or misdelivered parcels. Verdict: ⚠️ Suspicious — the business is legitimate, but consumers should be careful of fake messages and verify all links and payment requests against official channels.

Risk Insights

⚠️

Legitimate company but high impersonation risk

Long domain age (since 2003) and large traffic (~35M/month) point to a real courier business.
Fraudsters commonly mimic Evri in smishing and phishing campaigns; treat unsolicited delivery messages as suspicious.

Contradictory Signals

The site itself is legitimate, but external scams and service complaints create real risk for users interacting with messages that claim to be from Evri.

Signal A: High traffic, long domain age and enterprise hosting (signals of legitimacy)

Signal B: Numerous user complaints about deliveries and widespread impersonation scams (signals of consumer risk)

Red Flags & Warnings

  • Numerous public complaints about lost or misdelivered parcels and difficult dispute resolution, which can cause financial loss or frustration for customers.
  • High volume of impersonation scams (smishing/phishing) using Evri branding; these lead to direct financial fraud when users follow malicious links.
  • WHOIS uses an identity protection service for registrant details which hides the owner contact information; this is common but reduces surface transparency.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

Domain age & registrar

Score: 90/100
Passed

"A 2003 registration and recent WHOIS updates point to long-term operation; the registrant uses an identity protection service, which is common for companies but slightly reduces public contact transparency."

Reason: Domain registered in 2003 and maintained continuously, which supports legitimacy.

Traffic & popularity (SimilarWeb)

Score: 95/100
Passed

"SimilarWeb shows ~35M monthly visits, a low bounce and long time on site (about 198s), which is consistent with an active nationwide courier brand."

Reason: Very high traffic (~35M monthly visits) and strong UK audience share indicate a major, active service.

Technology & hosting stack

Score: 92/100
Passed

"The presence of Amazon and Cloudflare services, plus enterprise email providers, suggests professional hosting and resilience rather than throwaway or scam infrastructure."

Reason: Uses enterprise-grade providers (Amazon CloudFront, Route53, Cloudflare), typical for legitimate large sites.

Contact transparency & official channels

Score: 80/100
Passed

"Evri lists PR, security and data-protection emails and active social accounts; however, there are few direct public phone numbers, which some customers find frustrating for disputes."

Reason: Multiple official emails and social profiles are published, enabling customer contact and security reporting.

Phishing / impersonation reports

Score: 40/100
Failed

"Security advisories and Action Fraud describe frequent fake 'missed delivery' texts and emails that direct users to malicious pages; these are external attacks that use Evri branding, not proof that evri.com is fraudulent."

Reason: Numerous reports of smishing/phishing that impersonate Evri increase risk to customers.

Blacklist & Safe Browsing checks

Score: 88/100
Passed

"Scans returned no matched threats on Google Safe Browsing and the crypto-scam sniffer did not flag the domain, which is a positive sign for site safety."

Reason: No Safe Browsing or crypto-scam blacklist matches were found for the domain.

Trademark / brand impersonation risk

Score: 70/100
Passed

"A lack of a USPTO match does not imply invalid branding in the UK; local trademarks or company names may be held elsewhere."

Reason: No USPTO trademarks returned in a quick search for 'evri.com', but the brand is widely known in the UK through other records.

News and public signals

Score: 82/100
Passed

"Local news articles about jobs and depots, plus industry coverage, reinforce that Evri is an active business, though some news also reports service complaints."

Reason: Recent press coverage shows hiring, depot openings and corporate announcements — typical of an operational company.

Your Next Steps

  • 1
    Always open tracking links directly from evri.com or from your official courier emails — do not click links in unexpected texts or emails.
  • 2
    If a message asks for payment or personal data, verify by visiting evri.com/contact-us or calling a number listed on the official site rather than replying to the message.
  • 3
    Report suspected Evri impersonation (smishing/phishing) to Action Fraud (UK) and forward phishing emails to infosec@evri.com.
  • 4
    If you have a missing parcel, follow Evri’s published complaints procedure and keep timestamps, photos and any delivery evidence to support a claim.
