They (Frasers) will be profiting from the delivery. They’re robbing bastards. The same goes with their no refund policy.
SiDtheTurtle@reddit
Well your first mistake was shopping at a Mike Ashley company.

Im a EVRI courier.
Its a scam. £9.99 is hilarious. Couriers are paid about 0.50p-0.65p to deliver your parcel from them. Couriers have to payd for everything vehicle, trump juice, maintenance, insurance. So for so little pay, you are barely getting enough just to get rid of the parcel asap. You aren't rewarded for taking care and doing a good job.
Online retail has won, the High Street is dead. Companies are scamming the customer to get more money and to use companies like EVRI who pay the Couriers/Sorters pennies.

Because Sports Direct have a special relationship with Evri, where Evri don't deliver, SD don't refund and then threaten to take you to court when you do a charge back.
Cielo11@reddit
EVRi don't deliver anything. Correct.
EVRI is a middle man. That £9.99 you give them most of that goes to Sports D and to EVRi and then they spend as little as possible on the network that does the job of moving the parcel.
All the couriers are self employed, they aren't being paid enough to do a good job. They are barely paid enough just to get rid of everything asap.

Part of formulated price includes them sending a dedicated lorry to collect thousands of parcels and process overnight.
It’s not cheap to do any of those elements, and parcel automation would cost several million to install.

I live 5 miles from the warehouse and even I can't get free pick up

I'd pay the £2 more for DPD any day of the week
sixe6throwaway@reddit
It is a ripoff but a calculated one. They’d rather not offer delivery in the first place. So by making you pay more than it really costs then you have a choice to make.
Supermarkets would rather not offer grocery delivery but a lot do it anyway as a loss leader
_Curious_Koala_@reddit
The worst part about Evri is that they won’t put your item through your letter box if it easily fits. They must have the photo of it at your door instead meaning it can be stolen easily. This logic is completely fucked.
Eeveevolve@reddit
Store delivery £4.99?
They on crack?
alekcand3r@reddit
And if I recall correctly you can't return to the store either and have to pay return postage. Never again
daniscross@reddit
I was struggling to get my head around that, too! Some crappy nudge theory going on there.
Coat-Trick@reddit
Robbing bastards thats why
PhillyDeeez@reddit
You can charge whatever you want. Doesn't have to be the same cost. Probably just a blanket charge no matter the size of parcel.
Imaginary_Run6648@reddit
SD putting their own premium on it probably justified as a packing charge
