GLS — can you please explain how a parcel can be marked as delivered when it was never delivered?
My parcel (2160038xxxx) was marked as delivered and I received an email confirming delivery. I had received nothing.
I contacted the sender, who confirmed that their system was also showing the parcel as delivered.
When I contacted GLS, I was then told there was no photographic proof of delivery and that it could take up to three days for the driver to contact me regarding redelivery. I asked to speak directly with the Limerick depot and this was refused.
Then this morning I received another email saying the very same parcel was now out for delivery again.
So which is it, GLS?
Was the parcel delivered or was it not?
If it was delivered, where is the proof and where was it delivered to?
If it was not delivered, why was your system — and the sender’s system — updated to say that it was?
I have tried contacting GLS again today to clarify this, but calls are now not being answered.
The parcel was originally due by the end of last Friday. Delays happen, but falsely showing an undelivered parcel as delivered is a completely different issue.
I would genuinely like GLS to respond to this review and explain exactly what happened to parcel 2160038xxxx, why it was marked as delivered, and why it is now apparently out for delivery again.
At the moment, the tracking information and communication from GLS simply cannot be relied upon.

Despite leaving a 1 star review, next parcel was dumped by roadside
Despite leaving a 1 star review previously, parcel was yet again dumped at gates no where near the house, where anyone could have taken it. Suffice to say - any parcel that goes missing - I will hold GLS accountable (+ my time dealing with it) and a letter will go to the MD. This dumping of parcels will stop. tracking number 21600073396
