Madrid, 04 de diciembre de 2024 – GLS Spain, a leading logistics and transportation company, expands its service catalog with Royal Mail Tracked 24® and Royal Mail Tracked 48®, two new solutions specifically designed for the UK B2C market. These services, aimed at boosting e-commerce growth in the UK, offer companies across Spain the ability to make fast, secure, and efficient shipments through Royal Mail's extensive network, with delivery times of 24 or 48 hours from when the British operator receives the goods.
"With Royal Mail Tracked 24® and Royal Mail Tracked 48®, we offer a solution that addresses post-Brexit challenges to help our customers grow in the competitive UK market," explains Jérôme Jaeger Paul, International Sales Director of GLS Spain. "In addition to minimizing current obstacles, these new services improve delivery times and ensure reliability in every shipment," he adds.
Key features of the new services include:
· Fast and secure deliveries: Managed by Royal Mail, with a real-time tracking system that allows recipients to receive notifications via app or SMS, ensuring greater transparency and control over their shipments.
· Simplification of customs procedures: GLS Spain manages the entire process, reducing the bureaucracy associated with shipping goods to the UK. This speeds up times and minimizes the risk of unexpected customs charges or package holds.
· Solutions tailored to recipients' needs: The Royal Mail Tracked 24® service offers deliveries every day of the week, from Monday to Sunday, to ensure maximum convenience and flexibility for users.
This launch capitalizes on the synergies of the International Distribution Services PLC (IDS) group, the holding company that includes both General Logistics Systems B.V. (GLS) and Royal Mail Group Limited (RMGL), specializing in postal and delivery services. The strength of their logistics network guarantees wide coverage across the country and the ability to deliver seven days a week.
In line with GLS Spain's commitment to offering personalized and high-quality solutions to clients and agencies, both services have been developed to meet users' needs and the growing demands of e-commerce, which increasingly requires flexibility in deliveries and process optimization.
Through these new services, GLS Spain consolidates its leadership in the sector as a company capable of adapting to a constantly evolving logistical environment while continuing to expand its European network and strengthen its internationalization capacity.
* Transit times for shipments from Spain to the UK vary depending on the selected Royal Mail service. With Royal Mail Tracked 24®, the estimated delivery time is 4 to 5 days. In contrast, for the Royal Mail Tracked 48® service, shipments arrive between 5 and 6 days at their destination. More information about this service can be found at the following <b><u>link</u></b> .
