Agressive behavior by delivery man

On 08/06/2026 at approximately 10:30 AM, a package was delivered to my address.
The driver rang not only my doorbell but also my neighbors', despite the fact that I opened the door within seconds. When I politely asked him not to ring my neighbors' doorbells for my deliveries in the future, he reacted with extreme aggression: he slammed the door and prevented me from closing it. His behavior was threatening and completely unacceptable.

Update: I asked the company to please change drivers so I don't have to face this agressive man in my home again and their response was "... a change of delivery personnel cannot be implemented for operational and logistical reasons."
Very dissapointing.

Probably the worst shipping company.

Probably the worst shipping company.

I am waiting for my packet, they try one attempt when i'm at home and fail, never do they call me, i change the delivery to a pick up station to make it easy for them, and contact support, which is almost inexistent. Someone writes back to me, that its too late, and the packet is going back to the sender. They kept it for less than one day, never bothered to call, or send an email. Just terrible experience.

Will no longer be buying from companies that ship via GLS if not resolved presently.

Worse courier ever

These guys never deliver the goods, always send them to pack station or shops, it’s not the first time and I’m always at home, sick and tired of it, they’re just lazy to do their job.

Delays and poor tracking

The items should have been delivered on Wednesday but they never came. It's now Friday and tracking says they got back to parcel distribution center and no actual information on when it's planned to be delivered.

UPD: after GLS reply to this comment, I immediately wrote an email to the address, they provided and got an auto-reply, that they are very busy and the answer might take longer. So if I understood it correctly, for a public reviews at the trustpilot they are answering quite quickly, but for private email requests they are very busy to reply. I think this itself is worth reducing the rating even further down.

It is completely useless, No idea why it's so well known

It is completely useless. There was no real time updates or tracking available for my package. And I didn't really change my address it was already written on my address saying to leave at a myflexbox paket station in my apartment but none of that was taken care of infact my package was delayed saying they need further information on the address when there was honestly no other information i could provide, still i gave my best description of the address and how the myflexbox station is inside my housing society itself and mind you I gave these descriptions at around 12-1 o'clock PM, but still my package was delayed saying that delivery will be attempted some other day. But why??? the delivery driver must've left only a few hours ago and if I provided the necessary information again by mid-day then the delivery could've been made the same day too. Also, there's no helpline number to call and immediately inquire about your package status, you need to write a long ass email or some sort of form to just get in touch with the customer support which is not ideal and efficient for everyone, it's way easier to just call since through mails and forms it might take much take for the representatives to respond back. I've recieved packages from various other companies like dpd, dhl etc. and all of them are so good. I've had this issue earlier of the address since people don't understand that the myflexbox station is located in my society itself but still I just call the customer support and ask them to change and they change it immediately and often the delivery is made the same day. And as we speak the delivery here in this case hasn't been made yet by GLS. So, honestly it's really frustrating to go through this and having almost no where to contact to. A very disappointing experience indeed with GLS.

One start also is too much

One start also is too much, should have given -1.
Package was declared to be delivered between 10-13 then changed to 13-16.
Now shows 11 to 11.
What kind of code is running behind to show this timing?
Also live tracking truck is stuck 14 deliveries before me.

No delivery attempt

After talking to the customer service, they told me the carrier tried, and will call me a liar, when I tell them that I was sitting in complete silence, waiting for a VERY IMPORTANT parcel.
Now I have to drive 5km and carry the 30kg parcel on my own.
thanks for not doing your job.

Shipped 10 days ago, not moving

Package was shipped 4 days ago. Not moved an inch since then. No response from support. What is this joke? This is like the most trivial delivery from one german city to another and you still embarass yourself

upd: Complete scam, still no updates since 3/06. Half-assed customer support response and then ignore. I need this package urgently and this fake "delivery company" can't do it. According to recent reviews here, they completely collapsed.

Never use them!!!

I only put one star because I had to the system makes me, I would put 0 stars. Package came from Spain no worries until it hits Germany then you very problem it only had to be no more then 5 miles and spent all day at same location. GLS are a joke I hate them
And they should just give up there service and parcels are always damaged I only had them delivered because the surplier used them. I would rather rub my eyes with Barb wire then use GLS (yes that’s right Barb wire).

Customer service doesn’t exist, nobody know where is your package

The most terrible experience ever! My parcel stacked in their sort center because of technical failure of information in their system, I called and talked with them and the lady said she doesn’t understand what’s wrong and will redirect it to another packetshop and I can pick up next day, and after 2 days nothing happened. And no possible to call them , only robot is replying “sorry cannot help. Emails and other requests-no reply. Never again .

GLS is the worst company of them all

GLS is the worst company of them all. Even when you are at home—and don't see a single GLS vehicle pass by—you subsequently receive a notification stating that you have to go pick up your package at a shop because "no one was home." Can you believe it? And no, this isn't the first time they've done this; they always act this way. I think I'd be better off just stopping online shopping altogether if the delivery is handled by GLS.
