When no one is at home

In case you cannot accept your parcel personally, you can give GLS permission to deliver your parcel to a trusted neighbour. If neither you nor a neighbor can accept the parcel (and no additional services were ordered along with the parcel, e.g. CashService), GLS will take it to the nearest GLS Point – if there is one nearby.
The parcel can be collected there within the next seven working days. You can see whether your parcel is ready for collection at the GLS Point by using the GLS Track&Trace online tool.
If no delivery is possible – not even at a neighbour or a nearby GLS Point – GLS will take the parcel back to the depot (distribution centre) and undertake a second delivery attempt the next working day. -
