Parcel sticker

The parcel label serves as an address label and as a receipt. It is important to subscribe the parcel sticker legibly in capital letters / block letters or mechanically.

Important information on the parcel label:

• First and last name of the consignee
• Exact address of the consignee
• Telephone number of the consignee, to be able to contact the recipient in case of delivery obstacles
• Consignor address including telephone number
• Short description of the contents
• Weight of the shipment
• Shipping date

Important information on the invoice / receipt for parcels:

• The price for the parcel is based on the corresponding size, which is determined via the measuring tape
• Signature of the sender and of the Parcel Shop operator

Parcel Sticker "Mini"

A GLS mini parcel sticker must be used to ensure clear allocation through the barcode system. There are two additional labels on the mini parcel sticker, one to be issued to the customer and one to be issued to the Parcel Shop Operator. This is necessary for tracking and tracing and customer enquires.

Size Sticker

Depending on the size of the parcel (XS-XL) a corresponding size label must also be attached to the parcel.

Easy-Start Parcel Sticker

The Easy-Start parcel sticker can be printed online by the customer through www. gls-parcelshop.ie only. The parcel number and the parcel size are already included in the parcel sticker so that the parcel is transportable. The Parcel Shop only has to stick the Parcel Shop-ID on the parcel and sign the handover confirmation of the customer.
