I am writing to express my absolute frustration and deep disappointment with GLS's terrible service. According to the delivery status, my parcel has been marked as "delivered" to the designated ParcelShop. However, this is completely false.I have physically gone to that Paketstation/ParcelShop four times, and every single time the staff there insisted that my parcel is not there. They have no idea where it is, and they provided absolutely no help or way to track it down. My package has simply vanished, and your system is providing misleading information.It is unacceptable that a delivery company can lose a customer's item and leave them with zero ways to resolve the issue or follow up. This is by far the worst courier experience I have ever had.I highly DO NOT recommend GLS to anyone. Your service is completely unreliable, unprofessional, and irresponsible. I demand an immediate investigation into where my parcel actually is.

Experienced that a couple of times before. You cannot blame the blokes. They are paid like capitalist-slaves, as SubSub.

Extremely disappointing service

I had one of the worst delivery experiences I've ever had with GLS.

For two days, my parcel was marked as "recipient not at home", even though I was at home the entire time, waiting specifically for the delivery. The driver never rang my doorbell or attempted to contact me.

To make matters worse, reaching customer service was nearly impossible. The phone line only connected me to an automated system, and when I tried to submit a complaint through the online contact form, it repeatedly returned an error. There was simply no way to speak to a real person or get any meaningful assistance.

The parcel contained a mattress, which I urgently needed after moving into a new apartment. Instead of resolving the issue, I was expected to collect it myself from a depot that is over an hour away—an unrealistic expectation for such a large and heavy item.

A delivery company's basic responsibility is to deliver parcels reliably and provide accessible customer support when problems occur. Unfortunately, GLS failed on both counts.

I cannot recommend GLS based on this experience and will avoid using their services whenever possible.

Terrible service

Terrible service. Every single time a package has been delivered by GLS, it has arrived damaged, opened, or, even worse, the driver has been so lazy that they simply marked it as undeliverable and sent it back, despite me being home all day waiting for it.

I honestly don't know what kind of people GLS is hiring, but something needs to change. It's genuinely concerning that employees can do such a consistently poor job with no apparent accountability. This isn't an occasional mistake, it's a pattern of incompetence and complete disregard for customers. A company simply cannot operate like this and expect people to trust it with their deliveries.

2 stops away goes to +50 and never see my package

they've been telling me my package "will be delivered today" for 3 days now and whenever the truck is 2 stops away suddenly it goes up to +50 stops and it ends up not being delivered on the excuse that "the recipient is not home" when I have been home the whole 3 days they supposedly tried to deliver it.
they're gonna "try" again today but the expected delivery went from 2 stops away to +50 already so I already lost hope of ever getting the damn package

Unfortunately

Unfortunately, this is not the first time something like this has happened. The courier was supposed to leave the package by the entrance door, but instead he ignored the delivery instructions and marked the package as if I wasn’t at home.

In reality, he stood there for a couple of minutes, never rang the doorbell even once, and then drove away right in front of my eyes.

It is extremely frustrating to wait for a package that has already been delayed for unknown reasons, only for something like this to happen.

Express delivery delayed, systems and couriers not working

~15stops away, minutes later "customer wasn't home".
Firstly I was home and no one rang.
Secondly how were they suddenly so fast? Before it took hours to go down from 29 delivery stops.
So much for an express delivery.
Edit1:
Speechless, another day spent at home waiting for nothing. All day it says in the system delivery between ~3&4pm.
Out of nowhere I get a bunch of notifications at 1:30pm. Couldn't be delivered, noone home. 2 minutes later the delivery was already checked in at a parcel store which is 6 min driving away. All a farce. Systems not working neither it appears the couriers do.
Collection only possible the next day.
2 days spent at home to pick it up myself?! 48 hours delay on an express delivery. :/ Do I want to know how normal deliveries are handled? I hope, I don't need to find out.
The offered support didn't react either to solve it smoothly.

Absolute zero. 24/24 packages have now been delivered to a package shop instead of my home, with no way of contacting GLS to complain about this. I will never pick GLS for my business.

Very Unprofessional delivery agent

The Delivery agent didnt even bother to ring the bell or try to delivery the package. he happily routed it to a packet shop where as I had to take permission to stay home so i can receive the important package. seems a waste of my time also vert unprofessional policies by the organization and the team. This is not the first time I face issues with GLS , the third bad experience and the company hardly bothers to take any action or even respect the customers.
