How long does it take for GEODIS to get back to me with a quote?
The estimated time for GEODIS to prepare and provide you with an offer is between 2 and 4 business days.
Do quotes expire?
Yes. Quotes are based on freight class, dimensions and weight, but pricing is also subject to fuel price fluctuations. Due to fluctuating fuel costs, a rate or quote is only considered valid for 7 days. In order to lock in the discounted rate, the details of your shipment need to be 100% accurate, and the shipment needs to be booked within 7 days of receiving your quoted rate (if not specified otherwise).
How do I add another item to my quote?
You need to start a quote request again, and submit it.
How long does it take before I hear back from your expert?
The estimated time for GEODIS to get in touch with you is 2 business days.

I need to know the exact time my PARCEL will be delivered. Will I receive a notification during the delivery day?
Yes, if your supplier has opted to send a notification to their recipients. You will then receive a message by email or SMS informing you of the arrival of your shipment, either before or on the day of delivery.
Can I have a smaller delivery window for my PARCEL?
The delivery window is linked to the transport solution chosen by your supplier. The level of service and the associated precision of the niche are therefore dependent on the service chosen by your supplier. In any case, if your supplier has opted to send a notification to their recipients, you will receive a notification on the morning of the delivery day, informing you by SMS or by email of the precise time of the driver's arrival at your delivery address.
Can I collect my PARCEL directly from the depot / office?
Yes, if this choice has been offered to you in your recipient area. All our agencies have a collection point, the opening hours and access map for which can be found in your recipient area or in the "Find a GEODIS agency" section. You must show an identity card to collect your delivery.
Do you need to track, book or manage shipments OTHER than PARCELS?
Please refer to our tracking applications overview page and select the right platform in order to track your shipment.
