Hi,

I've read too many bad opinions and reviews about Royal mail delivering goods via GLS Romania
which never arrived to their destination and this made me want to investigate a bit.
My package has arrived to Romania in just 2 days, Royal Mail is cool,
but I'm very concerned of GLS practices and lack of professionalism.

I saw TrueBlueTerrier is helping our people and noticed that he somehow finds out GLS parcel numbers from RM reference.
I would like to know how I can find my GLS parcel number? I only have the Royal Mail reference number
and when I try to perform a search on GLS' website, it doesn't recognize it.

Thanks in advance and best regards.

Type the royal mail number into the GLS Romania website and sometimes it will give you the GLS parcel number. However, the Royal Mail number should be trackable throughout its journey anyway even if GLS give it a new number.

GLS website says:

Code: Select all

No results.
Please check the tracking number(s) or shipment reference(s).
Royal Mail's site says:

Code: Select all

Date	Time	Status	Track point
22/10/13	AM	DESPATCHED TOGLS ROMANIA	ROMANIA
I appreciate your effort, TrueBlueTerrier
Thank you.

Later edit:

After a few phone calls, I found out the package was handed over to GLS Germany, not Romania.
Anyhow, this is far below DHL's level of transparency and efficacy.

I wish there is a company that knows how to do business...
The guys at GLS Romania just entered my details in their system during my phone call.
Why in the world don't they have automated systems to do that? it's 2013.

Hello. :wave
How can track the package after it was sent overseas service? Royal mais says:
"Your item, posted on 04/11/13 with reference RU358483146GB has been passed to the overseas postal service for delivery in ROMANIA."
How do I know that the package arrived in Romania?
Thank you very much and best regards. :wink:

Not on an official basis no.

Try

http://www.royalmail.com/trackdetails" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for UK tracking

http://www.gls-romania.eu/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for Romania/EU Tracking
