Parcel service
What is a parcel service?
A parcel service is a logistics provider that specializes in the transportation and delivery of small to medium-sized packages – typically through a network of local, national, or international delivery routes.
Parcel services in eCommerce
In eCommerce, parcel services such as DHL, UPS, DPD or GLS are crucial for last-mile delivery. They handle everything from parcel pickup at the fulfillment center to final handover to the customer.

Example of a parcel service
