Give your customers maximum choice with GLS FlexDelivery

Within GLS's shipping option, there's a GLS FlexDelivery service. With this service, the recipient is notified by email about the upcoming delivery of the parcel. Through the link in the email, the recipient can select both a specific day and time slot. The shipment is then delivered on the selected date with a three-hour time window. When the recipient cannot accept the parcel themselves, it's also possible to pick up the shipment at a GLS ParcelShop or depot.

Build with confidence on successful delivery

Use GLS when recipient convenience and operational flexibility matter in your shipping process. 

This carrier is most relevant for merchants that want to choose deliberately per market, order type or delivery model.

Pickup available in multiple countries with GLS

Wuunder has integrations with the following GLS countries. Here we can automatically book and arrange pickups for your shipments. Please note: services may vary in countries outside the Netherlands.

  • Germany
  • Netherlands
  • Belgium

FAQ

Q: Can I combine GLS with other carriers?

A: Yes. Wuunder lets you use GLS for European road-based parcel delivery while routing other shipments to PostNL, DHL, or Spring based on weight, destination, or cost. Your shipping rules handle carrier selection automatically per order.

 

Q: Can I use my own GLS contract?

A: Yes. Use your negotiated GLS rates in MyWuunder or API, or ship on competitive pooled rates via our Resell partners.

 

Q: Which countries does GLS deliver to?

A: GLS operates its own road network across all European countries and connects to partner networks for destinations outside Europe. Coverage is strongest for B2B and B2C parcels within the EU.

 

Q: Can I show GLS rates in my checkout?

A: Yes. Wuunder Checkout displays live GLS pricing including almost all applicable surcharges, so your customers see the final cost before completing their order.

 

Q: If I use GLS on an ad-hoc basis, how do I arrange collection?

A: Wuunder books the pickup with GLS automatically when you create a label. GLS collects with their own drivers, typically the next business day.

 

Q: Can I show GLS delivery times in my checkout?

A: Yes. Wuunder Checkout calculates estimated delivery dates based on GLS transit times, your cut-off time, and public holidays in the destination country.

 

Q: How do I track GLS shipments?

A: GLS provides full scan-level tracking from pickup to delivery. Via Wuunder Track you and your customers receive proactive status updates at every milestone, including out-for-delivery and delay status updates.

 

Q: Can I handle returns via GLS?

A: Yes. Customers can drop off return parcels at GLS ParcelShop. GLS is not present in all EU countries. Your customer can create a return request via a branded return portal:  Wuunder Returns. Here we try to swap the order for a different size instead of a full return.
