Gls royal mail

You're referring to the General Letter Service (GLS) and Royal Mail!

GLS (General Logistics Systems) is a parcel delivery company that was acquired by Royal Mail in 2015. GLS is a leading provider of parcel delivery services in Europe, with operations in over 40 countries. They specialize in providing reliable and efficient parcel delivery services to businesses and consumers alike.

Royal Mail, on the other hand, is the UK's largest postal service provider, responsible for delivering mail and parcels across the country. Royal Mail has a long history dating back to 1516, and it's known for its iconic red postboxes and postal vans.

In 2015, Royal Mail acquired GLS to expand its parcel delivery capabilities and to provide a more comprehensive range of services to its customers. The acquisition allowed Royal Mail to tap into GLS's expertise in international parcel delivery and to strengthen its position in the European parcel market.

Today, GLS operates as a subsidiary of Royal Mail, offering a range of parcel delivery services, including:

  1. GLS Express: A next-day delivery service for parcels up to 30kg.
  2. GLS Economy: A cost-effective delivery service for parcels up to 30kg, with delivery within 2-5 working days.
  3. GLS Freight: A freight delivery service for larger and heavier parcels.

Royal Mail and GLS work together to provide a seamless parcel delivery experience for customers, offering a range of services, including:

  1. Royal Mail Tracked: A tracked delivery service for parcels up to 2kg.
  2. Royal Mail Signed For: A signed-for delivery service for parcels up to 2kg.
  3. Royal Mail Special Delivery: A guaranteed next-day delivery service for valuable or time-sensitive items.

Overall, the partnership between Royal Mail and GLS has enabled the companies to offer a more comprehensive range of parcel delivery services to customers, with a focus on reliability, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
