DPD

DPD is a parcel delivery brand of Geopost, the parcel holding of the French Groupe La Poste. Geopost operates one of Europe's largest parcel networks in nearly 50 countries, with DPD companies in countries such as Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Poland. The network is built from national DPD subsidiaries and partners that follow the same standards.

Features

• Home delivery with notifications and a delivery window, known as Predict in many countries
• Pickup parcel shops and lockers for collection and returns
• International parcel network for businesses and online shops

Ownership and limits

Geopost is part of Groupe La Poste, the French public postal group, so DPD has no owner from outside Europe. Features, tariffs and the pick-up network differ from country to country because each national DPD company runs its own offer. Consumers usually deal with DPD only when an online shop has chosen it as carrier.
