What a farce (UPDATE: IT GETS WORSE)
UPDATE, 02.06.2026:
Now they won't even touch the package. It just sits in the parcel centre in Wesel, no attempt to deliver it today after the screw-up they did yesterday. I can't believe it. How is this company still getting customers!?
UPDATE, 01.06.2026:
The delivery tracking got updated! Package to arrive TODAY!
I wait outside my door, fully expecting a no-show, and GUESS WHAT: It was a bloody no-show!
Less than 2 weeks ago I asked for the package to be routed to a pick-up place. This info disappeared from the tracking due to all the problems (like the re-routing to the UK) which happened with the package.
Now, if I were to assume that is the cause for the no-show: Their OWN WEBSITE said the pick-up place opens at 10:00 in the morning, yet the delivery was attempted at 9:20!? How is this company even still in service if they can't even SEE THEIR OWN INFO LIKE THAT?
If I could, I'd award this company -5/5 stars for this. I will NEVER, EVER recommend anyone to even WAIT for a package once you see "GLS" as the carrier.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
An absolute, bloody farce.
A package which was meant to go from the Netherlands to Germany just ended up in the UK, for some unknown reason.
Then, when it was finally sent to Germany, it was stuck in customs due to a missing invoice, and since then it's doing circles in the parcel center at Neuenstein.
Contact via the contact-form on the website: No response after a full week (email only) and no response again after 2 days (now with included phone number). The hotline I could find via Google just has an automated voice telling you what you can read on the website and then just hangs up. Zero way to reach an actual human being.
If I ever see a delivery coming via GLS, I'll contact the seller and make sure they know the absolute mistake they've made.

Packaged delay with no explanation
A delivery that was meant to take 2-3 work days to deliver has turned into a week long wait where I am not able to get any explanations as to why my package was delayed and when it will be delivered.
Horrible service.

my package has been sitting at their depot for over a week. my initial request to deliver to a drop off point was acknowledged in the tracking history, but some days later just forgotten again. a blind man would have better chances at darts than trying to contact the support. telephone line is non existent, email just responds with "what is the delivery address" (had to give it in the form anyways, no?) and i am expecting my package to come heavily damaged or with the contents stolen. next time i will fly over to the usa to pick up my order, instead of having to go through gls.

Unprofessional | Liar | Avoid GLS if you dont want to destroy your business's reputation
I am extremely disappointed with the service provided by GLS. Despite being at home the entire time due to working from home, my package was never delivered. Instead, I repeatedly received false notifications stating that “the recipient was not available.” This is simply not true.
Even though I had clearly provided alternative delivery instructions (including permission to leave the parcel at my doorstep), the delivery was still not attempted successfully. This happened twice, which shows a clear lack of effort and reliability.
As a result, I am now forced to travel far outside the city to collect my parcel from a depot, which is completely unreasonable and not feasible due to time constraints. This has caused unnecessary stress and disruption.
Basic delivery instructions are ignored, and accurate delivery attempts seem not to be properly made.

Worst delivery Service
Worst delivery Service.
Been waiting for my delivery that should have come weeks ago, but they rerouted it from Netherland to the UK and than to Germany. But even while in Germany no updates to the state of my Parcel. Their website doesnt give you much of any information at all too since they rarely update it anyway. Maybe bcoz they are actually not even trying to deliver.

GLS did not even try delivering neither to my original home address nor to the parcel pickup location they proposed on their website. Package status is just changing to "The parcel has reached the parcel center" everyday at 5:35. Then they "attempt" a delivery and fail with stupid messages like "The parcel could not be delivered as further address information is needed." (really? to location you proposed yourself and allowed me to select?)

Logistics? We don't do that at GLS
I have been waiting for over 14 days for my parcel. GLS might be cheaper than DHL, but they're insanely worse too.
Their tracking is a complete mess. The sender gave me a tracking link, which led to one GLS tracking page, but GLS also has a second, completely different tracking website with different information. Why does a logistics company have two tracking systems that don't even agree with each other? One showed me a delivery window of 09:30-11:00, the other said "delivery on the next working day" - and has been saying that since last Thursday. That's six "next working days" in a row now.
To top it off, the parcel history makes no sense at all: it was dispatched from the Netherlands on the 15th and then somehow ended up being dispatched from the UK on the 19th. My parcel is going from the Netherlands to Germany. Why is it taking a detour through the UK? This isn't logistics... this is embarrassing.
