Geopost services are available in Europe, Asia, South Africa, India, Brazil and several other countries in the world, either directly or through partnerships.

Geopost is owned by La Poste,[4] the international delivery network operated by the French state-owned postal service.

[2][better source needed] In the 1980s, Le Groupe La Poste originated its express transport activities with the creation of Chronopost in 1985.

In 1999, Le Groupe La Poste created GeoPost (then spelled with an upper-case P) to consolidate its express transport and parcel delivery businesses.

[5] In 2001, GeoPost became the main shareholder of DPD, a company created in 1977 in Aschaffenburg, West Germany (Deutscher Paketdienst until January 2008, then Dynamic Parcel Distribution).

Outside of Europe, DPDgroup operates: Since the beginning of 2022, the company has been chaired by CEO Yves Delmas, who is also Executive Vice-president of Le Groupe La Poste.

Lane had previously been fined £150 by DPD UK for attending a medical appointment to treat his diabetes and ultimately collapsed and died of the condition.

Frank Field MP, Chairman of the House of Commons' Work and Pensions Select Committee, said "DPD have been told time and again that their punitive regime is totally unjust, particularly as their workers are labelled ‘self-employed’.

In October 2020, DPDgroup announced its commitment to deliver 225 of the largest European cities with zero- and low-emission delivery means.
