Picked up a package through GLS (formerly Nederlandse Pakket Dienst) today. I keep wondering why those package delivery companies have depots somewhere on some outer industrial area. When you're gone during the day (working, for example) you'll have to find their depot (in this case only open during daytime). Hard or impossible to reach by anything else than a car. Oh, I did meet the delivery van the first try, but I could only pay in cash for the package, not using pin. This does make TPG post look reasonable with their post offices with not completely working-person-friendly opening hours. At least the post office is within the same part of town (for most people..).
