Track GLS parcels in the UK with Paxlo. Real-time delivery updates, estimated arrival times, and proof of delivery all in one app.
GLS is one of Europe's largest parcel delivery networks, operating across the continent with a substantial UK presence. The company handles millions of shipments annually, from small parcels to larger packages, serving businesses and consumers with reliable same-day and next-day delivery options. In Britain, GLS has built a reputation for dependable service across urban and rural areas, making it a trusted choice for retailers and logistics partners.
Founded in Italy in 1930, GLS expanded internationally throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Today, the company operates in over 40 countries with a network of distribution hubs, local depots, and trained delivery personnel. The UK operation reflects this global expertise while maintaining local knowledge of British postcodes, regional delivery challenges, and customer preferences.
GLS provides flexible delivery solutions tailored to different business needs and budgets. Whether you're sending a small parcel across London or a bulk shipment to Scotland, GLS has options that work.
The company operates hundreds of pickup points across the UK, giving customers multiple ways to send and receive parcels. Many high street locations and local shops offer GLS services, reducing the need to visit dedicated shipping centers.
Paxlo integrates directly with GLS tracking systems, letting you monitor your parcels in real time without visiting the GLS website or calling customer service. When you add a GLS tracking number to Paxlo, the app automatically pulls live updates about your shipment's location and status.
The integration covers all standard GLS services in the UK. Whether your parcel is sitting at a local depot, out for delivery, or approaching your doorstep, Paxlo shows you exactly where it is. You get notifications at each milestone, from pickup to final delivery, so there are no surprises on delivery day.
Tracking multiple carriers gets messy fast. Paxlo solves this by centralizing all your shipments in one place. Instead of switching between GLS, Royal Mail, DPD, and Hermes apps, you manage everything from your phone.
Paxlo works on both iOS and Android, so whether you're on iPhone or Android, tracking is always in your pocket. The app is lightweight, quick to load, and designed for people who want information without friction.
Different situations call for different information. Paxlo handles the tracking details you actually need.
GLS maintains consistent on-time delivery rates across the UK, typically delivering next-day parcels by 6 PM. The company invests in fleet management, driver training, and depot infrastructure to keep services reliable even during peak periods like Christmas and Black Friday.
In rare cases where delays happen, Paxlo shows you the updated timeline immediately. You won't be left guessing whether your parcel is running late or if there's a problem. The app gives you enough notice to make alternative plans if needed.
Adding a GLS shipment to Paxlo takes seconds. Download the app from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store, then enter your tracking number. You can find your tracking number in your order confirmation email from the retailer or sender.
Once added, Paxlo automatically recognizes it as a GLS shipment and connects to live tracking data. Set up notifications if you want alerts at each stage, and the app will ping you when there's an update. Parcels stay in your tracking history even after delivery, so you can reference past shipments anytime.
For businesses sending multiple GLS parcels, Paxlo works well alongside your existing shipping software. Track every outbound shipment right alongside inbound deliveries you're expecting, giving you a complete view of all parcel activity.
Download Paxlo from the App Store or Google Play, open the app, and enter your GLS tracking number in the search field. The app connects to GLS systems and shows you real-time updates on your parcel's location and delivery status. You can check the tracking page anytime, and enable notifications to get automatic updates.
Yes. When GLS provides an estimated delivery time, Paxlo displays it on the tracking page. For next-day deliveries, you'll typically see a window like '10 AM to 1 PM' or 'by 6 PM.' As the delivery day approaches, the window often narrows further. On the day itself, you may see the driver's location and current position if that data is available.
Paxlo updates automatically whenever GLS provides new information. If your parcel is delayed, the tracking page shows the updated expected delivery date and any status notes from GLS. You'll get a notification if delays occur, so you're not left waiting without information. Common reasons for delays include bad weather, high parcel volumes, or address issues that GLS is resolving.
Paxlo shows you when contact with GLS is still possible for address changes. However, for the actual change, you may need to contact GLS directly through their customer service, especially if the parcel is already out for delivery. Paxlo provides the tracking information and status you need to understand the urgency. For parcels still at the depot, address changes are usually possible if you act quickly.
Absolutely. When you arrange a GLS return through a retailer, you receive a return tracking number. Add this to Paxlo just like any other shipment, and you'll track your return from pickup through arrival at the sender's location. This is helpful for monitoring refund eligibility and confirming the returned item reached its destination.

Yes. Once your GLS parcel is delivered, Paxlo displays the delivery confirmation. If the driver took a photo upon delivery, you can view it in the app. This is useful if you need to confirm receipt or reference the delivery location for your records. You can screenshot or save this information directly from Paxlo.
