Evri Fulfilment invest £4m to expand network in Barnsley
Evri Fulfilment opens a 265,000 sq ft centre in Barnsley (live July 2026) with an 11:59pm next-day delivery cut-off and hourly injection into its delivery network. UK-based sellers on Amazon and direct-to-consumer channels get access to same-day dispatch 7 days a week, including Amazon Prime distribution support.
The 11:59pm cut-off is the real story — it closes the operational gap between SMBs and enterprise brands on late-order fulfillment, which directly impacts Amazon Prime eligibility and conversion on late-night purchases. UK sellers currently using 3PLs with earlier cut-offs should benchmark their current cut-off time against conversion rates on orders placed after 9pm.
Third-party logistics networks are aggressively closing the fulfillment speed gap between SMBs and enterprise retailers, intensifying competition for the Prime badge and same-day delivery expectations set by Amazon — UK sellers using legacy 3PLs face growing margin and conversion pressure.
If you're a UK-based Amazon seller using a 3PL with a cut-off before 10pm, contact Fulfilment-Enquiries@Evri.com before July 2026 to evaluate switching — late cut-offs directly affect Prime badge eligibility and buy box competitiveness.
In the next 30 days, pull your Amazon order time-of-day report and identify the revenue volume placed after 9pm — if it's significant, model the conversion lift from a later dispatch cut-off before Evri Barnsley goes live in July.
Bottom Line
Evri's 11:59pm cut-off gives UK SMB sellers enterprise-level next-day delivery parity.

Full Coverage
Evri Fulfilment have announced the launch of a brand new 265,000 sq ft fulfilment centre in Barnsley, following an investment of over £4m into the site. This new Barnsley opening marks the latest milestone in Evri’s rapidly expanding fulfilment operation, which has seen sustained double-digit year-on-year growth since its launch in 2021.
Located less than 100 metres from Evri’s existing Barnsley hub, the new facility will enable parcels to be injected directly into its largest operational site every hour, facilitating seamless integration into Evri’s national and international network to unlock faster delivery options for all retailers.
Evri received the keys to the site on 18th March, beginning an immediate fit-out of the space, which will launch in July 2026 and include cutting-edge sorting and packing automation, allowing parcels to move from order stage to pick, pack and entrance to the delivery network within an hour. A key feature of the new site is its 11.
59pm order cut-off time for next-day delivery – a significant extension that allows thousands of small and medium-sized businesses to get their goods to their customers as fast as the nation’s biggest brands.
The facility also provides same-day dispatch, seven days a week, as well as support for Amazon Prime distribution and global scaling capabilities for bedroom CEOs looking to grow internationally.
The announcement follows the success of Evri’s first fulfilment centre in Basildon, as well as additional sites on the US East Coast, the Netherlands and Oman, cementing its position as a global fulfilment solution for retailers of all sizes.
Following the recent announcement that Barnsley has been recognised as the UK’s first ‘Tech Town’, reflecting the town’s growing reputation as a hub for innovation and inward investment, Evri’s new fulfilment site builds on this momentum in supporting local growth, with over 150 new job roles created as a direct result.
The launch of this purpose-built fulfilment facility, designed to meet the needs of the shopper of today and tomorrow, will bring exciting opportunities to some of the UK’s most loved brands as well as our country’s deep reservoir of small and medium-sized companies.
We’ve paired cutting-edge fulfilment technology with a direct connection to the Evri Group’s well-established and fast-growing domestic and international networks, meaning whatever the business need, we have a solution.
– David Saenz, Chief Commercial Officer, Evri Group Evri has been an ideal partner to support our growth, and we’re thrilled about the new Barnsley fulfilment hub. The ability to order at midnight, have the package in their network within an hour and be delivered the next day will be amazing for our customers.
