Complete overview, peace of mind, and fewer calls to customer service

When you send your letters as letter parcels, you get all the advantages of parcel delivery: next‑day delivery, full visibility and proof of delivery. You can ship to business and residential addresses as well as to our 1,800+ ParcelShops. Each letter parcel can be tracked from start to finish - so you never have to send anything blindly.

It costs a little more, and the envelope needs to be replaced with a cardboard box. But in return, you save time and money on reshipments, follow‑ups, explanations - and the apologies that often come when something doesn’t arrive on time.

How to send a letter parcel

When sending letter parcels, you’ll need to replace the envelope with packaging that meets our minimum size requirements of 10 × 15 × 1 cm. This ensures that your letter parcels move safely and smoothly through our sorting system.

 
cardboard boxes

Cardboard boxes are available in different sizes and colors – selected sizes fit in mailboxes.

t

Envelope boxes fit A4 documents. Please note that they do not fit in all mailboxes.

t

Cardboard, bubble wrap, and paper envelopes do not meet the minimum size requirements and must not be used for your parcel mail.

 

It is free of charge to enter an agreement with GLS and you do not need to have a sum of money tied up with us.

When you send parcels with GLS, we invoice according to the agreed prices. This invoicing is generated at the first scan of the parcel at GLS.

As a business customer at GLS we calculate an offer for you based on your needs for parcel distribution.

Many elements are essential to this calculation and we therefore ask for some information in order to give you an offer.

Pick-up at business addresses is possible with GLS - you also have the option of handing in a smaller number of parcels in your local ParcelShop, if this solution fits better into your everyday life.

If you would like to see how you book a pick-up at GLS, you can see our Danish booking site here .

If there are enough parcels for pick-up every day, then we will arrange a daily pick-up.

GLS is happy to guide you on implementation for web shops - you can also find information about this in the section Customer information .

Here you will find information about our ShopFinder for your Check-out flow, generation of labels and direct link to Track & trace for your recipient.

You can send parcels weighing up to 30 kg. to business and private addresses in Denmark and abroad with GLS.

If the parcel is to be delivered via our nationwide ParcelShop network, the parcel must weigh a maximum of 20 kg.

GLS use volume calculation for export parcels.

For national parcels, we invoice the parcels based on the weight and the price agreed in the contract.

You can send parcels with measures within:

Length: max. 200 cm

Length + girth: max. 300 cm

Please see our General Terms for further definition.

A so-called “island surcharge” is not calculated on parcels to our many Danish islands. It is part of the regular shipping price.

As part of a European network of GLS companies and reliable partners, you can easily send your export parcels with GLS.

With the same label for all countries in Europe, it is also easy and simple to be an export customer of GLS.
