The GLS Parcel Shop Concept
Rely on the GLS Parcel Shop
To enable you - our private or small commercial customers - to also conveniently ship irregularly occurring parcel volumes with us, we have put a network of 3800 Parcel Shops in place according to the shop-in-shop system.
You can easily recognise your GLS Parcel Shop by its typical logo, which you can see on the left-hand side of this page. You will find them in DIY centres or stationary shops, at petrol stations, or in shopping centres – places which provide you the benefit of more flexible and longer opening hours.
Your parcel dispatch has never been easier
Just stop by the GLS Parcel Shop located in your neighbourhood and experience how easy it can be: no long queuing, a transparent pricing structure and very quick and easy processing. You receive a parcel number that enables you to follow each move your parcel makes on its way to the recipient online - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
Your parcel reaches the recipient on time and in shape, within a regular delivery time of less than 24 hours throughout the Portugal and 24-96 hours to nearly all European destinations.
Simple price calculation – The size counts
At Your GLS Parcel Shop, the price depends on the size of the parcel, not on the weight. This results in five different price categories: XS, S, M, L and XL.
The different price categories can be easily identified with a special tape measure by adding up the shortest and longest side.
Our special service – use the GLS packaging
In order to make your parcel transport as easy and safe as possible, GLS offers special cardboard boxes for wrapping your goods.
Due to the excellent fastening system, the cartons can be closed without additional adhesive tape.
Check out the availability of the GLS cardboard boxes at the next Parcel Shop close to you and chose from three different sizes: S, M, XS
