Most couriers do not accept items over 1.5m without a direct account but Evri has a "Light and Large" service available via brokers and DHL now accept larger items too (likely as a result of the merger).<BR /><BR />Ever since the merger I have been having severe issues with both Evri and DHL collecting large items.</P></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Although the Evri and DHL merger was announced back in May I don't think that they have actually merged any of their operations yet.&nbsp; The acquisition of DHL eCommerce UK by Evri was only given approval by the CMA today so hasn't been finalised yet.&nbsp; DHL eCommerce UK will be rebranded as Evri Premium but will continue as a separate network to Evri.&nbsp; DHL Express is not part of the acquisition so will remain separate.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><BLOCKQUOTE><HR /><a href="https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2284664">@4_bathrooms</a>&nbsp;wrote:<BR /><P><SPAN>- is it still possible for private sellers to offer "Collection only" on such items?&nbsp; &nbsp;</SPAN></P><HR /></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yes, 'Collection Only' is still available to Private Sellers.&nbsp;</P> Thu, 04 Sep 2025 22:51:40 GMT sml192 2025-09-04T22:51:40Z
