From May 11, you will need a pickup code when collecting your parcels at the Parcel Shop. You will already receive the pickup code together with the parcel number via SMS and email when your parcel is ready for collection. This way, you are prepared if you collect your parcel after May 11.
Three digits that match your parcel
A pickup code consists of three digits that ensure the right parcel is handed over to the right recipient. You can still have friends and family collect the parcel for you—just remember to share the pickup code with them.
When collecting your parcel, you need to provide the pickup code along with the parcel number.
View your pickup code in the GLS app
With the GLS app, from May 11, 2026, you can quickly see both the parcel number and the pickup code.
