Ship with GLS
GLS is a European parcel network operating in 40+ countries, known for competitive pricing and a strong B2B shipping position.
With FlexDeliveryService, recipients choose their own day, time slot and delivery location.
Through Wuunder Ship, all GLS services are automatically compared with your other carriers based on destination, dimensions and weight, with no shipping rules needed. Book with one click in MyWuunder or via the API.
Shipping from Belgium or Germany? Wuunder connects GLS there as separate carriers, each with its own contract and services. See GLS Belgium for shipping within and from Belgium, and GLS Germany for parcels up to 40 kg within and from Germany. In Spain we offer parcelshops via the checkout.
Use your own contract
Connect your own GLS contract and ship parcels across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
GLS offers FlexDelivery (recipient chooses day, 3-hour time slot and location), GLS ParcelShop delivery and Express services. Standard up to 31.5 kg with free proof of delivery and track-and-trace.
In Wuunder you combine GLS with PostNL, DHL, DPD or other carriers. Each shipment is automatically compared on price, transit time, destination, dimensions and weight.
