GLS Ireland is to launch a guaranteed national express delivery service from tomorrow (1st September).

The service will handle parcels up to 30 kilos and will guarantee delivery by 5pm the next working day GLS said this product could be easily supplemented with various other GLS services.

In many parts of the country a 12:00 service is also being offered, meaning that goods can be delivered before midday.
