We have the best service with Gls always, the driver in our area will ring us before he arrives and could not do more to accommodate us. Always a great experience as we receive orders from Zooplus at least once a month.

The worst service ever

The worst service ever, parcel not collected since last Wednesday. The driver is not showing up but reports to the management that "it's unable to collect the parcel because customer is on holidays" Radicilous!!!

Very good experience

The driver rang - pleasant man to say that my delivery had arrived. I was 5 minutes away from my house and told him so - he asked if it be okay to leave at the door which I said was fine. Good service
