Never received my parcel

I got a product delivered message but my product was not delivered to me. I was here all morning when the parcel is shown to have been delivered to me. This is the second time that GLS have done this to me. My house is easy to find and well marked. I never have a problem with deliveries from An Post or DPD.

If I could put zero stars I would

If I could put zero stars I would. Gls received a package for me 7 days ago, every day since they send me an email stating that my package is out for delivery. Today I called again customer service since there are perishable items in the package. They refused to help, they said that the driver didn’t have time to deliver it ( unbelievable) and refused to contact the driver. The person at customer service stated that he doesn’t care about my situation. SHAME

My recent deliveries from GLS

A very professional and courteous service.
I am always well informed as to the status of my deliveries. It is very easy to track the deliveries on the GLS App. I enjoy dealing with GLS and would highly recommend them to anyone for all of their delivery requirements.

The items I ordered were in two separate parcels. Both of which were carefully taken care of, and delivered promptly.
Very pleased with service overall.
