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
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.
Q: What delivery options does GLS offer through Wuunder?
A: Home delivery, GLS ParcelShops, GLS FlexDelivery (the recipient chooses their own day and 3-hour time slot), and business delivery. With Wuunder Checkout, you can display all GLS delivery options in real time in your webshop checkout.
Q: When should I choose GLS over DHL or DPD?
A: GLS excels in B2B delivery and offers FlexDelivery where the recipient picks their own day and time slot. GLS accepts parcels up to 31.5 kg, heavier than DPD's standard 20 kg. Particularly popular for shipping to Germany where it holds 7-8% market share. Compare automatically via compare shipping costs.
Q: Can I deliver to a pickup point via GLS?
A: Yes. GLS operates ParcelShops in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and other EU countries. Combined with FlexDelivery, the recipient chooses whether the parcel is delivered at home or to a GLS ParcelShop. The Parcelshop Locator displays GLS locations alongside points from carriers like PostNL and DPD. See also delivery to pickup points.
