Evri increased the minimum price to £5.46

Hello, I recently observed that Evri has raised its minimum pricing from £2.90 to £5.46.

I was trying to ship a padded envelope under 1 kg and was surprised to see eBay's quote from Evri at £5.46. Initially, I suspected a system glitch, but a check on Evri's own website confirmed the same rate. However, I haven't come across any official announcement regarding such a significant price hike.

Does anyone have information on this change?

Evri have not increased their prices. You buyer must live in what Evri class as an outlying area in which case there is a large extra charge. 

If your parcel is a small parcel you could send it by RM for not much more than Evri's usual price.

Thanks very much.  Your answer is very helpful!  I double checked that the postcode is near Inverness.

I've just experienced the same thing as my buyer lives in the Isle of Wight. Came across your post as I wondered why the sharp increase in postage too with Evri and this is why. I emailed the buyer and explained that Evri was more expensive by a mile compared to other couriers and they were happy to change to a more cost efficient courier
