Delivery and possible options

GLS offers senders a wide range of delivery options GLS offers senders a wide range of delivery options

Fast and reliable: everyone wants service to have these characteristics. And that's precisely how GLS wants to deliver its customers' shipments.
GLS offers senders a wide range of delivery options. Check with the person or company that has requested the shipment which type of delivery is best suited to your needs.

With some supplementary services for example, you have the option of knowing when your shipment is about to arrive, so that you can organise yourself in such a way that someone is able to collect it.

Your shipping number

The shipping number is particularly important: you only access the information you need if you have it. This number is provided to you by the sender upon sending your shipment.
You can check the status of your shipment online, or by contacting GLS customer service.

Attempted delivery note

If the shipment cannot be delivered to the specified address, the driver leaves a note informing the recipient of the first and second attempts. This document, which is called the "attempted delivery note", contains key information such as the shipment number and the contact details of the relevant GLS Depot.

Contactless signature

It is possible for the recipient to add an electronic signature, via QR code, in complete security without any contact.

If no one is present at the time of delivery

The GLS courier makes a first and a second delivery attempt for each shipment. In the event that even on the second attempt the recipient is absent, the shipment will be kept in storage at the local GLS Depot.
If the delivery is combined with the E-comService, after the first passage of our courier, you will receive an email with a link through which to book the return.
