GLS tracking in Denmark online

GLS tracking for Denmark: enter your GLS parcel number in the field above to see where your parcel is right now. No sign-up and no app needed.

GLS Denmark is one of the largest parcel carriers in the country. It delivers to home and business addresses all over Denmark and to more than 1,800 GLS ParcelShops in supermarkets, kiosks and local stores. Many Danish and European online stores ship with GLS, so this is often the first place to check when your order is on its way.

How to track a GLS parcel in Denmark

  1. Find the GLS parcel number in the shipping email or SMS from the online store, or in the GLS notification.
  2. Enter it in the search field above, without spaces.
  3. Click "Track" to see the current status and the full delivery history.

A GLS parcel number usually has 11 to 12 digits. Some shipping emails show a short Track ID of letters and digits instead; it works too.

GLS ParcelShop pickup in Denmark

If you are not at home, or you chose a pickup point at checkout, GLS delivers the parcel to a nearby GLS ParcelShop (called PakkeShop in Denmark). You get an email or SMS, and a notification in the GLS app, when the parcel is ready.

  • Pickup period: the parcel waits at the ParcelShop for 7 days. After that it is returned to the sender.
  • What to bring: the pickup code (hentekode) from the GLS notification or app. The shop may also ask for ID.
  • Weight limit: parcels to a ParcelShop can weigh up to 20 kg; heavier parcels are delivered to the address.

Delivery authorization: let GLS leave your parcel

If you are often not at home, you can give GLS a delivery authorization (fuldmagt). The driver then leaves the parcel at an agreed place at your address, for example by the back door or in a carport, instead of taking it to a ParcelShop.

You can set this up on the GLS Denmark website or in the GLS app. Keep in mind that a parcel left under a delivery authorization is at your own risk once it has been delivered.

GLS delivery times and Saturday delivery

Within Denmark, GLS parcels usually arrive within 1 to 2 working days after GLS has scanned them. The day of the first scan counts as day 0, so a parcel picked up on Monday is typically delivered on Tuesday or Wednesday.

GLS mainly delivers on weekdays. Saturday delivery is not standard for private parcels, so a parcel sent on Friday will usually arrive on Monday or later.

International GLS parcels to Denmark

GLS operates in around 40 European countries, so many parcels from Germany, the Netherlands and other EU countries reach Denmark through the GLS network. The parcel number stays the same across borders, and you can track it here from the moment it is handed over to GLS. International delivery usually takes 2 to 5 working days, depending on the country.

For parcels sent within Germany, see GLS Germany tracking. For other countries, see GLS tracking.
