The speed of delivery for GLS and DHL will depend on various factors like the origin and destination of the shipment, the type of service chosen, the weight and size of the package, among other things. Both GLS and DHL offer a range of shipping services with different delivery times, so it's difficult to make a general statement about which one is faster.
