Outer packaging
How to pack safely?
Goods packed in two-ply boxes made of high quality, moisture-resistant cardboard are usually well protected. It is particularly important to protect the surface and protect the edges and corners of the parcel. New boxes are best. These used boxes are only suitable for strong items. The heavier the contents, the more solid the outer packaging should be.
-
Internal filling
How to pack safely?
Any voids inside the carton should be filled and the goods should not be able to move. The filling should be adapted to the goods being shipped, and in the case of heavy and/or sensitive items, matching polystyrene forms should be used. The goods should not come into direct contact with each other or with the external packaging.
-
Tape wrapping
How to pack safely?
The consignment should be wrapped with packing tape and sealed on all sides. The heavier or larger the parcels are sent, the stronger the tape should be. Robust, tight tape is essential for safe transport.
-
Address labeling
How to pack safely?
The label should be placed on the largest side of the parcel. Old stickers or return labels should be removed beforehand. Parcels should not be combined with each other, but sent separately. Each parcel should have its own label.
-
Parcel size and weight
How to pack safely?
In its distribution centres GLS uses an automated parcel sorting system, which allows for quick and economic delivery of parcels. As parcels cannot exceed certain dimensions, their movement is smooth and undisturbed.
An upper weight limit has also been set. The consignment can be delivered at maximum:
- be 200 centimetres long,
- weigh 31.5 kilograms in domestic and international trade,
- the sum of the circumference and the longest side of the parcel must not exceed 3 meters (we calculate it by summing 1 x longest side plus 2 x height plus 2 x width).
Products which cannot be transported in consignments
At GLS, we strive to ensure the fastest and safest possible delivery of shipments. Therefore, please do not send parcels whose contents are not compliant with the GLS Terms and Conditions.
Violation of the Terms and Conditions may result in legal consequences, including intervention by the relevant authorities (e.g. the Police or Customs Office). In addition, shipping items excluded from transport may pose a risk to the health and safety of employees and the security of transport.
In particular, it is prohibited to send the following items via GLS Points:
- flammable and explosive materials,
- cigarettes and tobacco products,
- alcohol.
GLS Poland transports goods that are not subject to mandatory declaration in the SENT register. More details and the full list of items excluded from transport can be found in the GLS Points Terms and Conditions – Article VI, point 1.
Legal consequences
Senders who violate the GLS Terms and Conditions by shipping items excluded from transport are liable (including financially) for any damage caused by such shipments. This includes damage to other parcels, buildings, equipment, vehicles, as well as risks to the life and health of GLS employees.
A sender who ships items excluded from transport bears full responsibility (including financial liability) for any damage resulting from the violation of the Terms and Conditions.
This responsibility includes, in particular, damage to other shipments, buildings, equipment, vehicles, and threats to the life and health of GLS employees.
