  • Returning parcels made easy with the GLS returns service


    The trousers do not fit, the wrong colour was delivered or the goods were already defective on arrival - it can always happen that you are not satisfied with an order. To enable you to return your ordered goods as quickly and conveniently as possible, GLS offers a simple and sustainable returns shipping service. In just three steps, you send your package back to the sender.

    3 steps to send parcels back with a return label:

    1. Locate the return label

    Generally, the seller decides on the type of return labels (also called return slip or return note) to be provided. You can find out where your return label might be by clicking on the button below.

    2. Pack up the item

    Pack your item and remove any old shipping labels from the parcel. Then stick on the return label so that it is clearly visible.

    3. Return the parcel and send it back

    Do you want to be environmentally friendly when returning your items? Then you've come to the right place" Simply drop off your parcel at a GLS parcel shop near you - we'll make sure that emissions are saved as much as possible by bundling it with several other parcels.

    How to find your return label

    Your seller decides how you receive your return label. There are several options for the seller to choose. We recommend the following steps to help you locating the return label:

     

    Return label in the parcel

    Check whether your return slip is already in the parcel.

    Seller's website

    Check whether there is any information on the vendor's website regarding returns shipping. You can often create your return label directly from the website too.

    QR code

    Check if you have received a QR code from your online retailer.

    Contact seller

    If all three options are unsuccessful, contact your seller.

     

    Of course, you can also return parcels without a return slip. However, it is better to find out the return address of the retailer in advance and who will bear the costs of the return. You can then either frank your parcel on our GLS online platform or conveniently handle the entire shipping process at a GLS ParcelShop close to you.
