What Quiver does

Quiver is a London-based, private delivery technology company founded in 2021 that operates an end-to-end managed, emissionless same-day delivery service for e-commerce brands. The company combines a proprietary delivery management platform with an exclusive in-house courier fleet using electric vehicles and cargo bikes, delivering to over 86% of London homes between 8am and 10pm, 364 days a year. Its product surface spans six delivery modes — Immediate (1–2 hours), Same Day (before 8pm), Next Day, customer-selected Delivery Window (15 minutes to 4 hours), Exchange, and Return — supported by a merchant dashboard (app.quiver.co.uk) with real-time inventory and delivery visibility, a customer-facing tracking portal (track.quiver.co.uk) that surfaces CO2 savings, and Quiver Fulfilment (a warehousing add-on at £0.25/item/week including pick and pack, anchored by a Vauxhall fulfilment centre).

Quiver generates revenue through a blended transaction model: customers pay per-delivery fees (£2.99–£7.99 depending on speed and service type) and merchants pay a tiered commission of 4.5%, 2.8%, or 1.8% of order value depending on basket size, billed weekly via Stripe with no onboarding fees, monthly subscriptions, or long-term contracts. Storage revenue from Quiver Fulfilment adds a recurring per-item weekly component. Goods In Transit insurance is provided through Aviva, and a public API at quiver.readme.io underpins integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Wix, and Squarespace, which together form the primary merchant acquisition channels.

The customer base spans 200+ brands across fashion, jewellery, beauty, and food and beverage — including Ganni, Percival Menswear, APM Monaco, AKT, House of Sunny, Tenzing, DabbaDrop, and Au Vodka — making Quiver's addressable market concentrated in premium, sustainability-oriented direct-to-consumer brands operating in Greater London. As of the most recent inputs, Quiver is privately held, employs 11–50 people, has completed one disclosed seed funding round (2022-03-30, with undisclosed amount and investors including APX, Force Over Mass Capital, Fuel Ventures, Market One Capital as co-lead, and Tradeworks.vc as co-lead), and operates exclusively within the United Kingdom.

Direct peers

• Gophr: UK-based on-demand same-day courier and last-mile delivery platform that serves e-commerce and retail brands with a tech-forward booking portal — directly comparable to Quiver's London same-day delivery proposition.
• Stuart Delivery: European same-day, on-demand urban delivery platform (now part of Geopost/DPDgroup) offering scheduled and instant delivery for e-commerce, retail and foodservice; highly comparable in model, customer type and geographic adjacency.
• On the dot: UK same-day and scheduled delivery specialist serving retailers and e-commerce brands across fashion and lifestyle — same target verticals, similar two-hour and same-day product set as Quiver.

Broad incumbents

• DPD UK: Large UK parcel carrier owned by Geopost providing next-day and same-day services; competes with Quiver on retailer delivery SLAs but at much broader scale and as part of a national network.
• Evri (formerly Hermes UK): UK's largest consumer-focused parcel carrier serving thousands of e-commerce merchants; relevant incumbent on price and scale, even though premium same-day is not its core focus.
• Uber Direct: On-demand courier arm of Uber leveraging its gig driver network to offer merchants fast scheduled and same-day delivery; broad incumbent that competes for the same e-commerce use cases.
• Packlink: Multi-carrier shipping management platform for SMB e-commerce in Europe that integrates multiple carriers including same-day options — an adjacent incumbent that competes for the same merchant wallet via software + delivery.
• Addison Lee: London-established same-day courier and private-hire operator now serving e-commerce parcel delivery — comparable fleet model and London footprint, though broader service portfolio.

Emerging players

• Ziploda: UK-based emerging last-mile delivery platform focused on premium and sustainable urban fulfilment for e-commerce, comparable to Quiver's premium-green positioning.
• Borzo (formerly WeFast): On-demand intra-city courier platform operating in multiple European cities with similar same-day, same-day-return and merchant integrations — an international emerging player comparable on model though not geography.
