Additional fees
Increasing costs in the provision of transport services caused by the high dynamics of fuel prices and changes in the structure of supplies in non-urban areas, make it necessary to charge additional fees.
Fuel Surcharge
GLS adds a fuel adjustment because the volatile oil prices have a significant impact on the prices of transport services and thus on the cost of parcel delivery.
The increasing share of fuel costs in the provision of transport services, in particular courier services, caused by the high dynamics and volatility of fuel prices on the wholesale and retail market as well as changes on the product sales market, translate directly into a change in the structure of supply in non-urban areas, which necessitated verification method of calculating the fuel surcharge.
In the case of a fuel adjustment, the basis for calculations adopted by GLS are average diesel prices in Poland - its amount is defined depending on the current situation. The invoices are recognized separately in a transparent manner.
The current fuel adjustment is published on two-week interval. The increase in frequency is dictated by the very high dynamics of changes in the fuel market.
Given its ambition for environmental action, GLS is allocating a 1% fuel surcharge to Climate Protect projects that lower its carbon footprint.

Warnings
Email scams
Internet and email scams are becoming more common. The GLS name is used in a dishonest way to send fake emails usually addressed to private individuals and in some cases also to companies.
They often contain payment requests. Recipients of such emails should inform GLS immediately and under no circumstances pay the amounts requested. GLS never sends an e-mail requesting payment for goods using online payment systems, credit cards or bank transfers.
Cash on delivery (with CashService) or ExWorksService parcels are delivered by couriers and paid in cash.
Fake emails often contain typos and grammatical errors, as well as blurred trademarks. If the sender of the message is unknown, do not open attachments. GLS is not liable for any damages resulting from fraudulent acts committed by third parties who abuse the GLS name.
Job offers for couriers
Recently, we have noticed false job offers for drivers on the Internet, signed with the name GLS Poland, in which potential candidates are required to send scans of the identity documents to the alleged employer, i.e. driving license or ID card.
These offers are false and are intended to gain access to your personal data. GLS has never required and does not require sending any scans of such documents for recruitment purposes. Moreover, couriers providing services for GLS are employed by transport companies (subcontractors) - GLS does not recruit for drivers.
Therefore, we strongly warn against responding to such ads and providing any alleged employers with any private data.
Job offers for "parcel agents"
People ordering goods on the Internet and using false ID documents and illegally obtained credit cards have recently been offering jobs for so-called "Parcel agents".
Work - usually part time - requires taking parcels and redirecting them to another address, often abroad. The goal is to hide the destination location of fraudulently purchased goods. The police warn against accepting job offers as a "Parcel agents".
This supposedly lucrative occupation means engaging in fraud and money laundering, resulting in legal and financial consequences.
Fake SMS messages with payment demands
Attention: Fraud attempts!
The GLS name is being fraudulently used to send fake SMS messages containing information about parcel stoppage and a request for payment. Recipients of such SMS messages should under no circumstances pay the requested amount.
GLS never sends SMS messages requesting payment for retained parcels via online payment systems, credit card or bank transfer. Cash-on delivery parcels (with CashService) are delivered by couriers and paid for by cash or BLIK directly upon collection of the parcel.
GLS is not liable for any damages resulting from fraudulent activity by third parties who misuse the GLS name.
