GLS was founded in 1999 and quickly established a European parcel delivery network that currently operates in 41 European countries. The GLS reach also extends to 7 US states. Numerous agreements with partners and the establishment of its own branches have allowed the company to launch large-scale international operations.
GLS delivers parcels across Europe to both individual and business customers. Thanks to an extensive network and modern sorting hubs connecting individual countries, parcels sent via GLS reach recipients within 48-96 hours across almost all of Europe.
A service that enables flexible delivery. GLS informs recipients about parcel deliveries in advance, offering several delivery options to choose from. When the goods are ready for shipment, the recipient receives an email notification containing detailed information about the upcoming delivery, including the estimated time frame in which the delivery is to be completed.
These are free email notifications with details regarding parcel collection and delivery. They are sent to both the sender and the recipient. The recipient receives information about the delivery day in advance, along with an estimated three-hour time window during which the parcel will be delivered.
A service that allows for the optimization and management of return shipments. A GLS courier collects the parcel from any address and delivers it to the client. The service allows the sender to set a collection date and choose an address in any country in Europe.
A service that enables direct delivery from the supplier to the end customer or vice versa. It allows for the optimization of logistics and order processing.

A service that allows the recipient to return goods free of charge at any ParcelShop. The return label can be included in the shipment by the sender or sent to the recipient upon request as a file for self-printing. The service fee is charged only when the recipient actually returns the parcel.
