Can I request to have my parcel kept at a Pick-up point for longer than normal?

Your parcel remains available at a Pick-up point for 14 calendar days and at a Parcel Locker for 5 calendar days. After that it will be sent back to the sender.

Occasionally the people at the Pick-up point won’t have had the chance to process your parcel, so they won’t be able to find it for you or hand it over immediately. To make sure the parcel is ready for you, check the My bpost app or Track & Trace before you go to the Pick-up point. If your parcel should be available at the Pick-up point according to Track & Trace, but it isn’t, ask for more information via the chatbot, in Track & Trace or in the My bpost app. This should be the quickest way to get an update on the status and the whereabouts of your parcel. If not, as a last resort you can fill out the online form at the bottom of this page to start an investigation. To start a chat, simply enter the barcode number and postcode of your parcel in Track & Trace.

Who can pick up your shipment depends on the type of shipment. My shipment is a parcel Anyone can pick up your parcel from a Pick-up Point or Parcel Locker as long as that person has the barcode of your parcel. You can find the barcode in the confirmation email, the My bpost app or on the notice of absence you received in your letterbox. My shipment is registered mail You can recognise registered mail by the barcode starting with the numbers ‘010’ or the letter ‘R’.  Only the specified recipient can pick up registered mail upon presentation of their ID card and the barcode. You can also give a postal mandate to someone else by signing the notice of absence and giving it to the person who will pick up your shipment.
