They don't even try to deliver the package

They don't even try to deliver the package with the notice that the consignee was absent (which is a lie by the way) and just drive it to the next package station.

I didn't think any German firm could be total trash untill I ordered some Artificial Grass clips from Temu from a seller in Germany. This firm took days to store the item before finally submitting to UK customs. Just a few days before I have contractors coming to fit my Artificial Lawn these Clowns cancelled the delivery and returned item to sender without any explanation. What a trash company!!! Embarassing that Germany has such an inefficient and untrustworthy courier.

Driver "ghosted" delivery twice despite drop-off permit

I am extremely disappointed with the service provided by GLS.

I have now had to take three unplanned work-from-home days (Wednesday & Friday) due to repeated delivery failures and blatant driver negligence.

Wednesday: Tracking stalled at "12 stops left" at 14:00 and never updated. No delivery was attempted. I checked again at 16:00 and no updates were provided by the tracking system, it still claimed "12 stops left". At 18:00, the exact same thing.

Friday: I watched the live tracking all afternoon. At 16:30, I physically saw the GLS van park next to my building. The driver delivered to a neighbor and then drove away without attempting my delivery.

The Context: I have a permanent Drop-off Authorization on file for my garage/front door. The driver didn't even need to ring the bell; he simply chose to skip my address despite being 10 meters away.

Their customer service is non-existent. Both the web AI assistant and the phone hotline bot refuse to connect me to a human being. It is a closed loop designed to prevent customers from reporting driver misconduct.

I expect this high-value shipment to be delivered this Monday as a priority. I have already contacted the sender to escalate this through their business account. I've also written a complaint on reclabox.com. GLS needs to stop bypassing residential stops at the end of shifts.

I’m extremely disappointed with GLS…

I’m extremely disappointed with GLS Germany and their consistently unreliable delivery service.

They never seem to meet their estimated delivery dates. The tracking app often falsely shows that the parcel is “out for delivery,” only for it to actually arrive 2–3 days later. A shipment that is supposed to take 3–4 business days regularly ends up taking twice as long, which is unacceptable.

What makes the experience even worse is their terrible customer service. The support team is unhelpful, unprofessional, and shows a complete lack of responsibility or care for customers.

It’s honestly frustrating that so many companies still trust GLS for deliveries when their service quality is this poor. Based on repeated bad experiences, I absolutely cannot recommend GLS Germany to anyone.

Never expect any address delivery from them.

All GLS couriers are telepaths!

I sit at home and patiently wait for my package, they drive through our house,they don't even bother to stop, and then voila: a couple of minutes later - "Das Paket konnte nicht zugestellt werden, da der Empfänger nicht angetroffen wurde. (The package could not be delivered because the recipient was not home)". Go grab it yourself next working day at the packstation.

Sloppy, slow and lost

Gls is one single company, which have menaged to not find my address. I've needed to drive 80 kilometers to their depot to retrieve my package, and in the end it became clear, that it's very severely dameged.

Is GLS Latin for awful?

Normal GLS things. Say they tried to deliver, they didn't, package is available for collection at a depot 53km from the delivery address, no help from the customer service.

It is a cliche but if I could give "0" stars I would. Try to avoid any companies using GLS as a delivery partner, it is just not worth it.

I waited for the package at home but the courier didn't ring the doorbell, I saw him through the window stop the car, wait a few seconds and leave, he took my package to a package shop. Totally disappointed, the last time I order with GLS

i am extremely dissatisfied with the…delivery

I am extremely dissatisfied with the service I have received. If it were possible, I would give 0 stars.

I have made multiple attempts to contact you by phone and email, but unfortunately, I have received no response whatsoever. This lack of communication is unacceptable.

Furthermore, despite clearly selecting your locker delivery option, the courier has failed to deliver the package to the designated locker. Instead, the shipment has been “out for delivery” for the past four days with no resolution. This reflects a serious failure in your delivery process.

Due to this situation, I will be filing formal complaints with the Verbraucherzentrale and the Bundesagentur regarding the poor quality of your services.
