What is the difference between NB goods and non-sortable items at GLS?
NB good (not tapeable): Packages that can be transported but cannot be sorted automatically, only manually - e.g. tires, canisters or irregular packages.
Consignments that cannot be sorted: Parcels that cannot be processed due to extreme dimensions, unstable packaging or shape and may be excluded from shipping.
In short:
- NB goods = dispatchable, but manual processing
- Not suitable for sorting = possibly not suitable for shipment
