GLS provides general parcel delivery services. GLS does not provide temperature-controlled transport, cold chain logistics, or pharmaceutical-grade distribution services. Shippers are solely responsible for ensuring that their shipments comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including those governing the distribution of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and controlled substances. Shippers requiring regulatory compliance for healthcare shipments should consult with their own legal and regulatory advisors.
