Most of the time the driver looks for a package stop before delivery to the house hold. It save them time to their self.

They bring parcels to shops more than 2 km away from original delivery address. They change also the agreed delivery station without consent. They do not answer to the mails via customer service. Absolutely disappointing.

Absolute disaster of a delivery company. The live tracking is completely useless: my delivery window kept getting delayed all day long, from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM, and then pushed back again to 2:00 PM.

Extremely disappointing experience with GLS.
My parcel was delivered damaged, and the air fryer inside was completely non-functional. The sender had carefully prepared and packed the parcel during a video call with me, specifically to make sure that the contents would be properly protected.
Despite this, the item arrived damaged and unusable. This strongly suggests that the parcel was handled extremely roughly during transportation.
I contacted GLS and opened an investigation, but instead of taking responsibility for what happened during transport, I was simply told to contact the sender because they were responsible for the packaging.
This is completely unacceptable. If a parcel is properly packaged and arrives with its contents damaged and unusable, the customer should receive proper assistance rather than simply being passed from one party to another.
I am requesting a full refund for the value of the damaged item. Until GLS provides a proper solution, I cannot recommend this company to anyone.
Very poor handling of the parcel and extremely disappointing customer service.

GLS has absolutely not trustworthy drivers. They don’t ring the bell even when you are at home waiting for the package. They also ignore if you change the delivery from “home” to “GLS Shop”. They just don’t care. 👎👎👎

Package delivery stalls. They don't try to deliver to me, and they don't forward to a packet shop as I proposed as an alternative.
For now the status is "sitting in packet center". Thanks for nothing.
Update: The response by GLS gave me new hope, and I reached out, immediately. GLS didn't respond to my email, not by mail or by phone. Two days later the package was shipped back to France :-(.
In the last five years I got maybe 5-8 shipments via GLS. None of them reached me as promised!
I really don't understand how GLS is still in business, and I hope that all shops switch to any of the other suppliers soon!

Package picked up on the 8th by GLS, and confirmed to be near Berlin.
After 48hrs of radio silence a new update appears: the package has traveled 4hrs distance...
10hrs left to travel I guess, they can redeem themselves by making it to my local depot overnight since the update was early, 10am.
No... 30hrs have passed and still radio silence, and its Friday today so i will have to wait till Monday.
80hrs to travel 14 hours of distance and they didnt even make it to the local depot yet. This is just embarassing. You need to work on your efficiency.
Will avoid any site using GLS from now on, good luck.
If the package arrives damaged I'll lower the score to 1 star.

always delayed deliveries and unrealiable delivery times , made me stay at home to wait for delivery by "express service" while the normal service passed by no express delivery was delivered.
Edit : "Soon" is not a time frame, is it a year? it can be a week? or a few hour. And dont send 3 emails for each stage that the packet gets scanned just update the time /stage the package is.

Extremely unreliable delivery estimates and poor communication
I am currently dealing with GLS shipment, and this has been incredibly frustrating.
GLS initially provided me with a specific delivery date and time window of 12:15–16:00. That delivery date was then changed twice. Now I am being told the package should arrive on Friday, September 11, again within a specific time window.
How is a customer supposed to plan around a delivery when GLS repeatedly provides a date and time and then changes it?
I have also seen an overwhelming number of negative customer experiences regarding delayed, misplaced, and allegedly lost packages. Unfortunately, seeing these reports while my own delivery date continues to change does not inspire confidence.
I have specifically selected:
Mediatechnik
Dörpfeldstraße 21
12489 Berlin, Germany
I expect my package to be delivered to this selected location on Friday, September 11, within the stated 12:15–16:00 timeframe, and I expect it to be available for pickup without another unexplained change.
A tracking system is supposed to give customers reliable information. If GLS cannot honor its own stated delivery estimates, customers should not be given specific dates and time windows in the first place.
At this point, I am simply asking GLS to do what it has already promised: deliver my package to the selected location and make it available for pickup without further delays, redirection, or loss.
I will be monitoring the tracking closely and updating this review based on whether GLS actually follows through.
Thank you for your response . But that’s not enough. I even emailed you and it doesn’t work!

For shipment 926******, I specifically selected delivery to a GLS ParcelShop and have already received confirmation of this. However, live tracking continues to show my home address as the destination and the delivery driver en route there. Could you please check immediately whether the ParcelShop redirection has actually been recorded in the driver's delivery instructions?

I requested delivery to a GLS PaketShop and received confirmation that it would be redirected. Yet the tracking map kept showing my home as the destination. I ended up waiting outside and had to approach the GLS driver myself to make sure I got my package. The driver got out of the van and got back in attempting to drive away. I don’t know what kind of employees you higher but you need to better! Hunting them down to get my package shouldn’t be necessary, that shows how incompetent the workers are. I got my package ! That’s all that matters
