Always in the know - key information for GLS customers at a glance.

Motorway construction site in the Kassel area causes disruption from 17.9.

Dear customers

The A7 motorway in the Kassel area will be partly closed for around four weeks from 17 September due to construction work. Traffic will be completely moved to the northern lane, so that considerable obstructions are to be expected due to the narrowing of the lane.

In order to minimise the impact as much as possible, we are adjusting routes and departure times and deploying additional vehicles. Nevertheless, some delays may occur in the coming weeks.

Please inform your recipients if necessary. Thank you very much.

Toll traffic

Considerable costs arise for the use of traffic routes. GLS is also affected by these. GLS is not responsible for these costs and can neither totally avoid nor compensate them. Therefore a part of the costs must be passed on to its customers. They are listed separately in invoices as "Toll traffic National" or "Toll traffic International" respectively. This contains the usage of toll roads in local and long-distance transport as well as an additional component for traffic for the national and international parcel dispatch.
