All deliveries that come through them requires numerous back and forth emails to be sure it doesnt get lost or left at un unsafe spot if im not home. They have 2 pick up point in my area, one that they always say they can barely use due to being always full amd the other is a shop. But qhen the shop closes, the nearest pickup points are cities away. From 20 to 40 minute drive. Everytime i have an order coming with them it becomes a nightmare.

The driver has driven past my house four times already, without stopping to ring the doorbell and give me the parcel, citing the fact that I was not home. Although at that very moment I was home, but no one called. It is easier for them to take everything to the parcel store at once than to stop at each door. But when I pay for delivery at my address, I want it at the door and not go and pick it up myself.

Terrible company
January 26, 2025

Before the package was delivered they claimed wrong zip code then they said the address was wrong. I get packages daily from FedEx and UPS to the same address and they never have an issue. Package that should have been 1 day delivery took over a week.

I wish I could give 0 starts. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We are a business and purchased an item and the shipper using GLS, and after 4 days of saying they were going to deliver it, found out they LOST it. Reading their reviews, they lose packages all the time How are they still in business being this bad.

First experience with this service. Their courier left my package in the middle of the floor in a public lobby of my apartment complex where it was stolen before I even got the notification it was delivered. Emailing them they told me there was nothing they could do and directed me to the seller, who had nothing at all to do with their negligence.

This company sees nothing wrong with a courier just throwing a package onto the floor and taking off, and will do nothing to help after the fact. I advise staying as far away from them as possible as both shipper and receiver.

They held onto out box when it was 100 out in Arizona and all the food was rotten. The second attempts we called to see when it would be deliver only to be told they would email us. No email and it was held for delivery til the end of the day when it was 105 out. Get it together. You just cost a company 480$

Failure to Deliver package
April 17, 2024

I have gotten the worst customer service from GLS in my entire life time. The driver would not deliver as we have a security gate. I contacted Customer Service after first non delivery and gave them the gate code. A second delivery attempt was made after I gave my gate code, the driver again did not try to contact me via intercom or use the gate code. I chatted with Customer Service after second non delivery and included my phone number so driver could call me. The driver tried the next day after all my contacts with Customer Service and still would not deliver my package because of gate. I live in a 180 home development and have received literally thousands of items over twenty years from dozens of carriers without a problem. GLS returned my package without informing me. I did not receive any notice that they were delivering my package which required a signature and made me stay at home 3 consecutive days. And still did not deliver. I would give 0 if possible.

Wish I Could Give Them A Zero.
I ordered from eBay. The pkg's was delivered on Sunday. 3/3/24. Didn't ring door bell nor knock. A neighbor had to tell me I had a pkg(s). Their just as bad as FedEx n UPS n USPS!
I tried calling the company. Their not open on Sundays. It was a car that delivered my items. The neighbor saw the driver. I didn't. The same thing happen on a Saturday. N it was raining. Just dropped my PKG(s) on a wet porch I dislike this delivery service.
PLS DONT LET THEM DELIVER TO ME AGAIN.

Absolutely the worst
February 19, 2024

Paid for an item 2/12 on eBay, item shipped 2/14 after inquiring. GLS tracking showed 2/15 delivery, then rescheduled for 2/16. End of day I contacted them and they stated they didn't have the item but expecting to deliver by the 19th. After no updates, I contacted both GLS and eBay seller again and they updated their website for 2/20 delivery.

Please ask the seller who they use for delivery before purchasing if you want to avoid headache from frustrations.

Nightmare
February 16, 2024

Service déplorable. Déspose systématiquement les colis en point relais sans aucune tentative de livraison et sans même essayer de joindre le client (qui avait pris une journée de congé exprès pour être à son domicile à chaque fois et qui avait payé un supplément pour être livré à domicile au lieu d'un point relais). Aucune réponse du service client. Point relais à l'autre bout de la ville, sans aucune possibilité de parking... Pitoyable...

Gave a 1 star because 0 was not an option. Contacted company prior to delivery, given incorrect information, package delivered to wrong address with misspelled name and line for signature. Told they were sorry and would investigate. No other response or helpful information. Representative was rude and dismissive during report.

It's quite simple, my package was stolen!

The carrier came to my house, tried to call but I could not answer, then I received a message saying the package was delivered. I called him and he told me that it was put on my letter box. A package containing 3 big items could never be put in my small mailbox. Obviously I want home a few hours later and nothing in my mailbox (as expected), not near my mailbox, nowhere to be found! I try my best now never to use them, you should do the same! I contacted the e-commerce website, and they are still investigating 20 days later!
