GLS (General Logistics Systems) runs one of the densest road networks in Europe and is especially popular with small and mid-sized online shops. GLS parcel numbers usually have 11 or 12 digits; you’ll find them on the posting receipt from the GLS ParcelShop, on the label or in the shop’s dispatch email. Enter the number above to open the official GLS parcel tracking with every scan of your shipment.
With FlexDelivery, GLS notifies you by email about the delivery day and lets you choose from several options while the parcel is in transit: another day, a neighbour, a drop-off permission or one of the thousands of GLS ParcelShops in Germany. Statuses like “In transit” or “Out for delivery” follow the usual pattern — within Germany, GLS typically delivers in 1–2 working days, to neighbouring EU countries in 2–5.
GLS is often the price-performance tip on many routes — but not on all of them. Europarcel will compare live offers from GLS, DHL, Hermes, DPD, UPS and FedEx for your exact parcel, let you book from €4.99 with door pickup, and bundle tracking for everything on one page.

Frequently asked questions

On the receipt from the GLS ParcelShop, on the parcel label, or in the FlexDelivery email. Parcel numbers usually have 11–12 digits.
?How long does GLS take to deliver?
Within Germany usually 1–2 working days; shipments to neighbouring EU countries take about 2–5 working days depending on the destination.
?What is GLS FlexDelivery?
A free notification service: GLS announces the delivery by email and lets you redirect the parcel while in transit — to another day, a neighbour, a ParcelShop or with a drop-off permission.
