GLS parcel products and express delivery can be individually combined with a wide range of value-added services.
This way, shipments can be tailored to your specific needs.
A service where recipients receive a text message with the courier's phone number.
As part of the InfoCourierService, GLS sends recipients a phone number to a courier who will deliver their parcel.
GLS informs the recipients about the delivery and offers many delivery options to choose from.
Flexible delivery: GLS informs recipients in advance about the delivery of shipments, offering many delivery options to choose from.
As soon as the ordered goods are ready for shipment, recipients receive an e-mail with information about the upcoming delivery of GLS parcel - including the anticipated time frame in which the delivery is to be made.
This allows them to arrange delivery details so that delivery can take place as soon as possible. To meet the needs of recipients, GLS offers a choice of several different delivery options, for example: setting a new delivery date or other address, as well as redirecting the parcel to a GLS Szybka Paczka point. Evening and Saturday delivery options are also available in selected cities in Germany.
Collection of parcels becomes flexible, thanks to which the transport of goods to households is much simpler. The number of inquiries and complaints addressed to senders is also decreasing and the level of recipient satisfaction is increasing.

Senders receive the order, prepare it for shipment and send data to GLS via the appropriate shipping system, additionally providing the recipient's e-mail address. In this way, flexible delivery options for a given shipment are activated. GLS informs recipients via e-mail about the incoming shipment and the standard delivery time. In most cases, recipients are also notified of the expected time frame of the courier's visit. Thanks to this, they have greater possibilities to assess whether they will be able to collect the parcel in person. The e-mail message contains links to the GLS mobile application or GLS website - places where all delivery options available for a given shipment are visible. The system automatically "recognizes" the parcel and identifies the appropriate recipient. The best option can be selected without registering or logging into the portal. The content of the message is given in the language of the country to which the parcel is addressed.
The data of the parcel taken from the sender are scanned in the GLS depot's. At this point it becomes possible to specify the delivery date. GLS then sends to the recipient two e-mails containing this information along with the anticipated time window in which the courier will arrive (in most cases). The message also contains a link directing you to a page where you can choose the best delivery option.
After delivery, GLS still sends e-mail information to recipients.
They will learn, for example, that their parcel was delivered to a selected Szybka Paczka/ ParcelShop point or to the address provided.
