GLS expands FlexDeliveryService in Europe

Parcel service provider GLS has further expanded its international FlexDeliveryService. By adding new countries, FlexDeliveryService is now available in twelve connected countries in Central and Eastern Europe. With the service, online shippers will be informed of scheduled deliveries and can decide when and where they want to take delivery of the parcels.

According to GLS [pdf], the demand for international services is increasing thanks to the growth in cross-border ecommerce. And by expanding their own service, the company says it provides senders with new growth opportunities while giving consumers access to new products.

FlexDeliveryService of GLS is now available in Austria, Belgium, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia and Romania. These countries are all linked to each other, which enables GLS to have a single interconnected region for its FlexDeliveryService. But GLS’s goal is to have a Europe-wide flexible delivery service. The integration of Denmark and France is already under way, while GLS also offers flexible delivery in these countries for parcels sent from Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Austria and Poland
