Global Eco is a UK-based sustainable courier service offering eco-friendly parcel delivery across the UK and Europe. Track shipments instantly with Paxlo.
Global Eco is a UK courier company built on a simple premise: businesses shouldn't have to choose between reliable delivery and environmental responsibility. Founded in 2015, the company operates a fleet of electric and hybrid vehicles across major UK cities and expanded into European markets by 2019. Unlike traditional logistics providers that treat sustainability as an afterthought, Global Eco designs every operation around carbon reduction.
The company handles parcels for e-commerce businesses, retailers, and SMEs. They process roughly 2 million packages annually across the UK and offer limited European coverage to France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Global Eco competes directly with DPD, Hermes, and Parcelforce on speed but differentiates on environmental impact and transparency.
UK e-commerce grew 25% between 2020 and 2023, forcing logistics companies to rethink delivery models. London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and similar schemes in other cities made electric vehicle adoption mandatory for many carriers. Global Eco seized this regulatory shift as a competitive advantage. While bigger players scrambled to electrify fleets, Global Eco was already built around it.
The company now holds contracts with over 3,000 UK businesses and positions itself as the sustainable choice for brands that care about their carbon footprint. They publish quarterly sustainability reports showing emissions reductions and tree-planting initiatives.

Global Eco doesn't offer express overnight services like DPD or guaranteed time-window delivery. They focus on reliable, sustainable delivery within predictable timeframes. Most UK deliveries land within 2-4 working days.
Their returns service is particularly useful for online retailers. They pick up items from customers, consolidate them at regional hubs, and return them to warehouses. This reduces the administrative burden on merchants and keeps return parcels out of multiple vans.
Paxlo pulls tracking data directly from Global Eco's systems, giving you live updates on your parcel's location and estimated delivery time. Once a Global Eco shipment is scanned into Paxlo, you'll see:
Global Eco uses a decentralized network of micro-fulfillment centers and electric vehicle hubs. Paxlo's integration captures updates at each handoff, so you're never in the dark about where your package is.
You could visit Global Eco's website directly to track packages, but Paxlo consolidates all your carriers in one app. If you order from multiple retailers or shop across different marketplaces, you'll receive shipments from multiple couriers. Checking Global Eco, DPD, Hermes, and Royal Mail separately wastes time.
Paxlo solves this. Add your Global Eco tracking number once, and the app follows the parcel end-to-end. You get timely notifications without spam, the ability to reschedule or redirect at the last moment, and historical records of all deliveries in one searchable inbox.
For businesses, Paxlo integrates with your order management system so tracking links are automatically generated. Your customers click a link and land directly in Paxlo, improving their experience without requiring them to copy and paste tracking numbers.
The environmental angle matters more than ever. A 2024 survey found 62% of UK consumers prefer brands that use sustainable couriers. If you're sending packages to customers who care about climate impact, Global Eco is the logical choice.
Royal Mail is cheaper but slower and doesn't offer real-time tracking. Hermes is reliable but has a poor customer reputation. DPD is faster but uses diesel vans in most areas. Parcelforce offers guarantees but carries a premium price. Global Eco sits in the middle: faster than Royal Mail, more sustainable than DPD, cheaper than Parcelforce, and with better customer service than Hermes.
For businesses sending 100+ parcels weekly, Global Eco's contract rates are attractive. For individuals, the choice comes down to whether delivery speed or environmental impact matters more.
If a retailer ships your order with Global Eco, you'll receive a tracking number. Enter it into Paxlo and the app will automatically recognize the carrier. If you're a business wanting to ship with Global Eco, visit their website to open an account and request a shipping integration with your e-commerce platform.
Once shipments start moving through Global Eco, Paxlo will handle all tracking and notifications automatically. No extra steps needed.
Paxlo will show you if a delay occurs, usually flagged within the app when the parcel falls outside its estimated delivery window. Contact the retailer who sent the parcel first, as they hold the contract with Global Eco and can file a complaint or request a credit. If the retailer doesn't respond, you can contact Global Eco directly with your tracking number. Delays are uncommon, but weather, vehicle breakdowns, and unexpected road closures occasionally happen. Global Eco doesn't offer compensation for delays unless the retailer has specifically purchased a time-guaranteed service, which is rare on standard shipments.
