01

GLS leads clearly, and Poste Italiane is second but well behind.

02

BRT is a clear third, with SDA and DHL level behind it and UPS and TNT level after.

03

Every second GLS shop advertises, so the leader's list halves on an ads filter.

What this means

What to do with it.

Italian shops spread across many couriers, so a list built on BRT, SDA or TNT is already specific, while GLS and Poste Italiane need a second filter. GLS shops run on WooCommerce first, then PrestaShop, Shopify and Magento.

Couriers and 3PLs

Target shops that offer only one courier and pitch a second lane; the spread across BRT, SDA, DHL, UPS and TNT shows no network owns the middle.

Ecommerce software and email tools

Work WooCommerce and PrestaShop shops first; they lead the platform mix behind GLS in Italy, with Shopify and Magento next.

Lead generation agencies

Build Italian delivery lists from BRT, SDA and TNT shops, which are specific groups, and use GLS only with an ads or platform filter.

  • A courier named on the shop's site is one option among several; it does not show which one carries most parcels.
  • Many Italian shops have no identified courier, and a missing name is not proof that a courier is absent.
