Prices
Parcel prices custom-made! It depends on the size! At GLS, the parcel prices for dispatching from the Parcel Shops are calculated by the size, not by the weight.
From XS as in extra Small, to XL as in extra Large - the Parcel Shop parcels are divided into five different parcel sizes with five price-categories.
The size of your parcel (longest side + shortest side) is measured in your parcel shop with a tape measure.
So now, there are only five different price-categories depending on the size, independent of the weight (max. 40 kg). Your parcel is insured to a maximum amount of 250,- EUR.
