Drop2Shop Tracking

Drop2Shop is the consumer face of COLL-8 Logistics, an Irish parcel operator that moves online orders into Ireland and puts them within walking distance of the recipient. Instead of a doorstep delivery that needs somebody home, a Drop2Shop parcel is held at a local convenience store, forecourt or newsagent, where the shopper collects it at a time that suits them and hands returns back over the same counter.

COLL-8 creates the parcel record from the retailer's manifest, clears the parcel through Irish customs on its way in, and hands it to a partner carrier for the last mile into the pickup-point network. That is why a Drop2Shop timeline mixes COLL-8's own records with scans relayed from the delivering partner, and why the partner's own consignment number appears alongside the GLB parcel number.

Drop2Shop Services

What COLL-8 does with a parcel between the retailer's warehouse and the shop counter.

Pickup-point collection

The parcel is delivered to a participating shop rather than an address, and held there for the recipient. Nobody has to wait in, there is no missed-delivery card, and the collection window follows the shop's own opening hours, which for a convenience store usually means early mornings and late evenings.

Returns over the counter

The same shops accept returns for the retailers COLL-8 works with. The shopper brings the item and the return label to the counter, and the parcel re-enters the network from there, which is where the Drop2Shop Return name on some confirmations comes from.

Irish customs clearance

COLL-8 lodges the customs entry for parcels arriving from outside Ireland and takes them through clearance before they reach the delivery network. The step appears on the timeline as a C8 Customs scan, and it is usually the longest single pause in a parcel's journey.

Partner last mile

COLL-8 does not run its own delivery fleet to every shop. It hands cleared parcels to a partner carrier, DPD Ireland in practice, which carries them to the pickup point. Track91 shows that partner and the consignment number it knows the parcel by, so the delivery leg can be followed on either tracker.

Drop2Shop Tracking Number Format

GLB parcel number

A Drop2Shop parcel number is the letters GLB followed by thirteen digits — sixteen characters in all, for example GLB0120001234567. Upper and lower case both work. It arrives in the retailer's dispatch email or on the Drop2Shop collection notice.

A shipment of several packages numbers each one with three extra digits, as in GLB0120001234567001. Those resolve to the same parcel, so either shape can be pasted in. The nine-digit reference shown beside the delivering partner is that carrier's own consignment number, not a Drop2Shop one, and only works on the partner's tracker.

Drop2Shop Delivery Times

Typical journey

Two to ten days from the retailer's dispatch to the shop counter. Parcels that clear customs quickly often reach the pickup point within two or three working days of the customs scan, with the delivery partner's van scan and the collection scan usually falling on the same day.

Where the time goes

The gap between the parcel record being created and the customs scan is the variable one, and it can run to a week or more. Drop2Shop publishes no estimated delivery date at all, so Track91 shows the real scans and their dates rather than a promised day that nobody committed to.

Drop2Shop Status Glossary

Every status Drop2Shop publishes, in the order a parcel normally meets them.

Package Created

COLL-8 has created the parcel record from the retailer's manifest. The parcel itself may still be in the retailer's warehouse at this point.

Parcel data received from sender

The delivery network has the sender's data for the parcel, so it is expected. It normally follows the creation scan within the hour.

C8 Customs - Inbound Package

COLL-8 is taking the parcel through Irish customs on its way into the country. The line can appear twice as the entry is lodged and then completed.

Your parcel is travelling through the network

The parcel has cleared customs and is moving through the delivery partner's network. Drop2Shop names no depot or city on this scan.

Your parcel is on a van and due for delivery

The delivery partner has the parcel on a round that day, heading for the pickup point or the address on the label.

Your parcel has been delivered

The hand-over scan. Older parcels carry the same step worded as collected from your local Pickup Point, which is the same code and means the shopper picked it up at the shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Help with Drop2Shop tracking, delays and deliveries. Select a question to read the answer.

How do I track my Drop2Shop parcel?

Paste the GLB parcel number from the retailer dispatch email or the Drop2Shop collection notice into the tracking field on Track91. The newest scan appears first, with the full dated history from the COLL-8 record through Irish customs to the delivery partner. No account is needed.

What is the Drop2Shop tracking number format?

A Drop2Shop parcel number is the letters GLB followed by thirteen digits, for example GLB0120001234567. Case does not matter. Individual packages of the same shipment carry three extra digits, such as GLB0120001234567001, and those work too because they resolve to the same parcel.

How long does a Drop2Shop parcel take to arrive in Ireland?

Most parcels reach the pickup point two to ten days after the retailer dispatches them. The slow step is usually COLL-8 customs clearance into Ireland, which can hold a parcel for several days with no new scan. Drop2Shop publishes no estimated delivery date, so Track91 shows the real scans instead.

What does C8 Customs Inbound Package mean on Drop2Shop tracking?

COLL-8 is clearing your parcel through Irish customs on its way into the country. It is a normal step for anything bought outside Ireland, and it often appears twice as the entry is lodged and then completed. The parcel moves on to the delivery network once clearance finishes.

Who actually delivers my Drop2Shop parcel?

COLL-8 clears the parcel and hands it to a partner carrier for the last mile, which in practice is DPD Ireland. Track91 shows that partner and the consignment number it knows your parcel by, so you can follow the delivery on the partner tracker as well as on Drop2Shop.

Why is my Drop2Shop tracking not updating?

The page only changes when a new scan is filed. A parcel waiting in customs or sitting in a retailer warehouse before dispatch can go days without one. Check the date of the last scan before contacting anyone, and compare it against the day the retailer said the parcel left.

Why does Drop2Shop say my parcel number was not found?

The number has not reached COLL-8 yet, or a character is wrong. A retailer often emails the number when the order is packed, hours or days before COLL-8 creates the parcel record, so a brand new number can return nothing. Check every character, then ask the retailer.

Can I track a Drop2Shop parcel without the GLB number?

Not on Track91. Drop2Shop answers only on a parcel number, so one is required. The retailer that sent the order can look it up by order reference in their own despatch system and pass you the GLB number, or forward the Drop2Shop collection notice that carries it.

My parcel is on a van and due for delivery but nothing arrived, what now?

That scan comes from the delivery partner, so the parcel is on a round that day. Drop2Shop orders usually go to a pickup point rather than your door, so check whether your collection notice names a shop. If the round ends with no new scan, contact the partner carrier named in the timeline.

Is Track91 affiliated with Drop2Shop?

No. Track91 is an independent tracking service with no commercial or corporate link to Drop2Shop or COLL-8 Logistics. It reads the carrier public tracking lookup and presents the result in a clearer timeline. For claims, refunds or collection queries, contact Drop2Shop or the retailer directly.
