SameDayService – Same-day parcel delivery
With the SameDayService, you can offer your recipients same-day parcel delivery. If the end customer places their order before a defined cut-off time, the parcel will be delivered that same evening between 17:30 and 22:00. This service is therefore the fastest delivery option offered by GLS. The service is currently available in 10 metropolitan areas across Germany.
