PostNL: GLS greatly expands network of Parcel Points thanks to partnership with PostNL

Copyright © Emerce 2023 GLS Netherlands is significantly expanding its network of Parcel Points through cooperation with PostNL . PostNL has opened its parcel machines to other carriers and since March consumers can visit the same parcel machine for GLS Netherlands and PostNL parcels. GLS deliveries can now be delivered not only to the 800 GLS Parcel Shops , but also to the nearly 1,100 parcel machines in the PostNL network in the Netherlands . This more than doubles the number of Parcel Points available to GLS customers. Since the announcement of the partnership in January, GLS says it has been working hard behind the scenes to integrate the PostNL parcel machines into its operational processes. The entire network is now operational and the entire GLS staff has been trained in the use of the PostNL parcel machines. From early November, consumers ordering from GLS customers can choose delivery at an automatic parcel machine. It is expected to be possible to return packages via PostNL's automatic parcel machines from early 2025. Initially, GLS parcels were only delivered to PostNL ATMs when a recipient is not at home, and the consumer requested delivery at an ATM. © The Content Exchange, source News
