FAQ

Issue drop off permission

Are you frequently not home but don't want to miss out on direct, secure deliveries? Just specify a drop-off location of your choice so we can still deliver your parcel even if you aren't there.

Drop off permission

Change delivery options

If we were unable to find you at home, so your parcel has been taken to a GLS depot, you can select a new delivery option for your parcel, for example an alternative delivery address. Of course, this service is free of charge.

I wasn’t at home.
How can I get my parcel?

If the delivery driver was unable to find you at home, they will ask a neighbour to accept the parcel on your behalf. If this is not possible, we will generally take your parcel to the nearest ParcelShop. Your parcel will be kept there ready for collection for 9 working days starting from the day after the attempted delivery. If there were no neighbours to accept your parcel, and no ParcelShop nearby, we will make a second delivery attempt.

You can find information about your parcel from GLS shipment tracking.

The delivery driver will also leave you a notification card.

This is where you will find the Track ID. This will allow you to track your shipment online.
