Delivery to Spain
Spain is currently experiencing several wildfires, mainly affecting the northern and north-central parts of the country, particularly in the provinces of Guadalajara and Zaragoza (Aragon).
As a result, some deliveries may be delayed. GLS teams are fully mobilized to adapt to this exceptional situation and minimize disruptions as much as possible. Thank you for your understanding.

Deliveries to the Netherlands
Due to technical and operational issues affecting our delivery partners, shipments to the Netherlands may currently experience delays of 1 to 2 business days. A gradual return to normal service is expected by the end of July, subject to how the situation evolves.

Deliveries to Luxembourg
Following the introduction of new Luxembourg regulations affecting light commercial vehicles, distribution capacity has been temporarily reduced. As a result, deliveries to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg may experience delays over the coming weeks.
This situation may also have an occasional impact on certain shipments to Belgium.
Our teams are implementing alternative operational solutions to minimize the impact on your shipments and clear the backlog as quickly as possible.
