Christmas season 2023

Dear Customers,

Due to the current extreme increase in the number of parcels being shipped, the capacity of our customer service centre is extremely busy and response times for enquiries may be extended. When contacting the customer service department, we ask that you do not send your questions through multiple channels (email, Facebook, phone), always send the package number and wait for a response, we do our best to make sure your questions are answered.

Thank you for your understanding.

Order your Christmas presents in time

This year, we recommend ordering Christmas gifts well in advance so that e-shops have at least 1 to 2 days to pick up the goods and hand them over to GLS. When shipping to/from abroad, it is important to subtract the standard transit time for the destination from the dates below.

To ensure that your gifts are delivered in time for Christmas Eve, we recommend ordering gifts for home delivery no later than Monday, December 18, 2023.

This will give e-shops enough time to stock the goods and hand them over to GLS no later than December 20, 2023.

To ensure that your gifts are delivered in time for Christmas Eve, we recommend that you order your gifts for delivery to GLS Pick-up points no later than Tuesday, 19 December, 2023.

This will give e-shops enough time to stock the goods and hand them over to GLS no later than December 21, 2023.

Destinations and transport times
