Step 1: Startup information

Senders receive the order, prepare it for shipment and send data to GLS via the appropriate shipping system, additionally providing the recipient's e-mail address. In this way, flexible delivery options for a given shipment are activated. GLS informs recipients via e-mail about the incoming shipment and the standard delivery time. In most cases, recipients are also notified of the expected time frame of the courier's visit. Thanks to this, they have greater possibilities to assess whether they will be able to collect the parcel in person. The e-mail message contains links to the GLS mobile application or GLS website - places where all delivery options available for a given shipment are visible. The system automatically "recognizes" the parcel and identifies the appropriate recipient. The best option can be selected without registering or logging into the portal. The content of the message is given in the language of the country to which the parcel is addressed.

Step 2: Information on the estimated delivery time

The data of the parcel taken from the sender are scanned in the GLS depot's. At this point it becomes possible to specify the delivery date. GLS then sends to the recipient two e-mails containing this information along with the anticipated time window in which the courier will arrive (in most cases). The message also contains a link directing you to a page where you can choose the best delivery option.

Step 3: The recipient receives current information until delivery

After delivery, GLS still sends e-mail information to recipients.

They will learn, for example, that their parcel was delivered to a selected Szybka Paczka/ ParcelShop point or to the address provided.
