Young people like to send unwanted goods on, so there is a growing interest in sending packages. Most often through boxes, GLS is now significantly expanding the network
Interest in sending parcels between households is experiencing a renaissance, with more than a quarter of people sending a parcel. Lockers are also playing an increasingly important role when sending packages. GLS now offers, in addition to less than a thousand of its boxes, this simple sending now also via shared AlzaBoxes. A parcel with GLS can be sent not only with the use of a courier, but also through almost 5000 pick-up points and boxes.
GLS transported a record number of parcels last year and significantly expanded the distribution network
Last year, the GLS shipping company recorded the strongest year in its history, transporting 15% more parcels than the year before. Last year, the company invested significantly in the development of the network of pick-up points, which are already used by over 4.5 thousand, while the number of its own GLS ParcelBoxes has more than tripled.
