About DPD

Established in 1999 in France under the name Dynamic Parcel Distribution, this organization has grown to become Europe's second-largest parcel delivery network. With a strong presence in its home country and across Europe, the company extends its reach globally, including Asia and Africa, through strategic alliances and its international branches.

As a member of the DPD Group, owned by La Poste and integrated within its global division, GeoPost, the company works with different couriers to enhance its worldwide delivery capabilities, competing with the likes of TNT and DHL in Europe.

The founding principle of the company was to expedite parcel processing. Unlike the traditional approach of holding goods at container freight stations (CFS) for customs checks, parcels are quickly moved out upon arrival at their facilities. This method guarantees faster delivery, often within the same day or 72 hours, enhancing transparency and predictability for the customer.
