GLS France speeds up European deliveries by a day

GLS France announced that it will speed up its European business parcel service to six European countries by one day.

The efficiency of the group’s European hub and improved reorganisation of its long-distance transport plans across the continent have enhanced the speed and progress of the company..

Its EuroBusiness-Parcel was already deliverable in 48 hours from France to the Benelux market, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and the UK. But now GLS has been able to add Denmark, Austria and the Czech Republic to the two-day service.

The progress has also been seen in deliveries to Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia which now takes up to 72 hours instead of the 96 hours needed previously.

“Thanks to the reorganisation of the plan for long distance transport in France and the optimisation of the GLS network and its processes across Europe, French clients can benefit from accelerated international deliveries,” the company said in a statement.

GLS’ network covers 35 European countries, including all members of the European Union. Deliveries from France to towns and cities in any of these countries varies between 48 hours and 120 hours, depending on their location and customs clearance times at the borders of non-EU members.
