Real results from a real customer.

Rush Order is a 3PL fulfillment partner that has managed every aspect of the e-commerce process — storage, packing, and shipping — for over 30 years.

Over several months, Rush Order conducted a rigorous performance trial with GLS as a U.S. domestic shipping carrier. The evaluation covered nearly 50,000 direct-to-consumer shipments across a diverse group of clients, all originating from Rush Order’s Gilroy, CA fulfillment center.

The numbers don’t lie

GLS matched or outperformed national carriers across every key metric — transit time, cost efficiency, and delivery success rate. Weekly performance reports showed consistently stable results, with negligible delays and virtually zero failed deliveries

20–30% cost savings

GLS shipping costs ran 20–30% lower than national carriers, depending on shipment size and destination.

1.8-day average transit time

From Gilroy, CA to Western and Central U.S. destinations — roughly one full business day faster than the competition.

97% on-time delivery rate

Consistently high on-time performance across all participating clients throughout the trial period.

100% total delivery success

Out of nearly 50,000 shipments, only one package was reported missing.

Minimal customer complaints

Recipient satisfaction remained high throughout the trial, with very few complaints about the delivery experience.

Smart spending, big savings

GLS consistently offered lower shipping rates than the competition — with savings of 20% to 30% depending on shipment size and destination.

Speed that delivers

On average, GLS was a full business day faster than major carriers across many Western and Central states.

Happy customers

Customer satisfaction remained consistently high throughout the pilot, with minimal complaints and strong positive feedback on the delivery experience.

Visibility at every step

Recipients can easily track their packages in real time through the GLS® website, giving them full visibility from shipment to doorstep.

We wanted a more flexible carrier, with faster transit times, but did not want to sacrifice high-quality service. GLS definitely fit that need and delivered on all fronts!

Dana Madlem, CEO, Rush Order

Following the exceptional results of the performance trial, Rush Order chose to continue with GLS and is actively exploring additional regions for expansion. GLS is proving to be a reliable, cost-effective, and fast alternative to traditional national carriers — especially across the Western U.S.
