Electronic confirmation of COD payment

From October 2023, our clients can take advantage of a NEW feature in the form of a COD payment receipt in electronic form. The previously issued Cash on Delivery Receipt for parcels delivered by courier has been replaced by an online downloaded document today. The path to the downloaded document is very simple, just enter the details of your parcel on the GLS website.

We think ecologically and thus save 5,000 paper sheets a day.

We are expanding the GLS ParcelBox network with the new Solar series

The new GLS Solar ParcelBoxes are powered exclusively by solar panels and thus offer an environmentally friendly parcel transport solution that can be used in applications where there is a problem with the electricity connection. Another advantage is their ease of use, which does not require the installation of any application or the use of a smartphone.

These boxes are fully reliable in all seasons and are used for both picking up and sending packages. Compared to the current GLS ParcelBoxes, they only allow cash on delivery to be paid in advance via the GoPay online gateway. You can find more information about all our pick-up points here: GLS Parcel Box | GLS Czech Republic (gls-group.eu)

GLS couriers will take care of the free transport of gifts for children

For the 13th year in a row, GLS has been the general partner of the traditional charity project Donate a Toy, which is organized by managers in wheelchairs from the Tango association. All you have to do is click in the wish database again and GLS couriers will arrange free gift transport for children in children's homes and clients of social care institutions.

Last year, GLS transported more than six tonnes of gifts with a total value of over CZK 6.1 million. Donors can register on the app.daruj-hracku.cz website and make not only themselves happy, but especially children and people with various disabilities at Christmas.
