Current statistics on the number of complaints from 2024

At GLS, the customer is at the centre of everything we do. We handle complaints in a structured manner and take every concern very seriously. By responding quickly and with focus, we continuously work to improve the customer experience.

In the calendar year 2024, the rate of complaints in relation to the total number of parcels delivered was 0.1%. This means that a complaint was filed for only about every 1,000 parcels. The majority of deliveries are made to the satisfaction of our recipients, as confirmed by our regular customer surveys. We record complaints in a structured way and take every single concern very seriously. Our goal is always to respond quickly and in a focused manner, to continuously improve the customer experience and to systematically eliminate errors. The most common reasons for complaints were dissatisfaction with an alternative delivery (if the recipient was not present), with a delivery to a parcel shop or parcel station, or with parcels being left in places not previously agreed.

In 2024, 0.005% of all parcels delivered were damaged and 0.027% of all parcels delivered were lost or stolen.
