What happens if I dispatch a parcel containing hazardous goods via a GLS Parcel Locker?
Unfortunately, our company does not have a system in place that would allow for the handling of hazardous goods. If you place a parcel of this kind in one of the GLS Parcel Lockers, our courier will not collect it from the Parcel Locker. In this case, our Customer Service will notify you of the removal of the parcel from the Parcel Locker.
You can find the hazardous goods information here.
Shipping costs will not be reimbursed in such cases.
For the full list of rejected types of goods, see the GLS General Business Conditions. What happens if the parcel I wish to dispatch does not fit into the Parcel Locker?
The dimensions of the parcel may not exceed 600mm x 740mm x 430mm (depth x height x width). If the parcel is larger than the largest box, you can dispatch your parcel via a GLS Parcel Shop or using our eCsomag service.
When will my parcel dispatched via a GLS Parcel Locker be delivered?
Once our driver has collected the parcel, we will deliver it to domestic addresses on the next working day. In the case of export parcels, please calculate with longer delivery times.
In the case of dispatch via a GLS Parcel Locker, what happens to my parcel if the addressee refuses to accept it?
If delivery fails, the parcel will be returned to the address provided at your billing information.
What happens to parcels dispatched without a parcel label via a Parcel Locker?
You cannot place parcels into the Parcel Locker without a parcel label, as the door of the box opens by scanning the parcel label.
What happens if I place an improperly packaged parcel in the Parcel Locker?
Our driver will take improperly packaged parcels to the depot making the pickup, then the sender will be informed of the whereabouts of their parcel. GLS is not obligated to deliver improperly packaged parcels.
Shipping costs will not be reimbursed in such cases.

For the full list of rejected types of goods, see the GLS General Business Conditions.
If the parcel is excluded from transport or it contains any product excluded from transport and this
can be clearly established when the item is collected, GLS Hungary shall be obliged to refuse to provide the service or, if it is found out subsequently, it shall refuse to continue to provide the service. GLS Hungary does not examine the appropriateness of the contents of the consignment, such
as whether the consignment or its contents are excluded from the postal delivery service or may only be carried subject to conditions. The additional costs incurred due to the returning of the parcels to the Sender or any other place, and due to any measures taken by authorities, shall be borne by the Client (sender). GLS Hungary shall not be liable for any failure to fulfil the postal service contract.
How should items be packaged?
For packaging, use a 5-layer or thicker cardboard box appropriate for the weight of the item. Inside the package, use padding material of sufficient quantity and quality; on the outside, use heavy-duty packaging tape around the box.
How can I find out about the progress of my parcel’s delivery?
Use the Track & Trace function to track the parcel’s progress. To trace your parcel, you must enter a parcel number.

What if my parcel is lost, destroyed or damaged?
In the event a parcel is lost, destroyed or damaged, the sender (and, in certain cases, the addressee) is entitled to compensation. Compensation is payable on the condition that the claim for damages is formally reported to the service provider in due time and that the service provider’s liability for the damage can be ascertained. The claim for damages can be reported on the service provider’s dedicated web page.
In the event of a visible damage to the parcel, the damage claim must be reported to the service provider without delay, but at least within 3 business days after delivery. If you miss that time-limit, you are no longer entitled to claim damages.
How much compensation is paid if a parcel gets lost or damaged?
If the Service Provider is liable for the loss or destruction of or damage to the parcel, it shall pay a compensation corresponding to the damage of an amount up to HUF 50,000 per parcel. For further information, see the General Business Conditions.

In the event you intend to send larger quantities on a regular basis, please contact our sales department. E-mail address: sales@gls-hungary.com
What happens if a parcel could not be delivered?
If, on first delivery, the addressee is not found at the specified address, the GLS courier will leave a note and, unless otherwise instructed, return the item to the depot. By calling the phone number in the note, the addressee can schedule the delivery with GLS. After that, GLS will make two other attempts at delivering the item.
After the third failed attempt, the parcel will be sent back to the sender.

If a country is not in the list, it is not possible to send parcels to that region on this page.
How can I pay the service fee?
Payment can only be made using a credit or debit card through the OTP SimplePay system.
Am I supposed to attach a label on the box?
While the parcel label is printed by GLS and delivered to you by the courier, you must affix the parcel label to the box, at the largest surface. Any old addresses or instruction labels must be removed before dispatch. If more than one parcel is given to the courier at a time, please make sure that you have attached the right parcel label on each box.
Please always check that the information on the label is correct.
My parcel is larger in size/weight than specified. Will I have to pay the difference afterwards?
GLS reserves the right to charge the difference and to unilaterally restrict the user account concerned where a systematic abuse is detected.
What’s a GLS ParcelShop?
A GLS ParcelShop is a network of retail customers where you can dispatch and receive parcels to be delivered in Hungary or other EU countries. Our addressees can collect their parcels at any GLS ParcelShop. On the ecsomag.hu page, you can also specify a GLS ParcelShop as the delivery address.
Can I place an order for my parcel to be collected on the same day?
If the service is successfully ordered by 22:00 hours on a working day, the earliest time it will be picked up the is the next working day; therefore, we are unable to collect your parcel on the day delivery is ordered. An order is successful if payment is received by 22:00 hours on the working day concerned. The conclusion of the contract is confirmed by email to the sender’s email address.

If the parcel tracking does not yield a result, you can inquire by phone or in writing (email: ecsomag@gls-hungary.com). Please call our customer service for addressees on the number +36 29 886 700. The parcel number is used to identify each parcel. Please give that number to the service staff.
Can I use a card to pay a COD charge?

My parcel was damaged when it arrived. What can I do?
The sender must ensure that the parcel is packaged securely.
If, on receipt, you find any damage to the packaging, ask the courier to take a damage report on delivery. Please note that the courier is only obliged to take a report if any external damage to the parcel is visible. The courier is not entitled or obliged to wait until you have opened and checked the contents of a parcel that is intact on the outside.
If a parcel is delivered intact on the outside but, on opening the parcel, its contents are found to be damaged, you should get in touch with the sender and/or contact GLS within 3 working days of delivery at the latest to claim compensation.
If your parcel is damaged or lost, please complete the relevant form.
