I received a suspicious text message or email, allegedly from bpost. What should I do?
ou may receive an email or text message that appears to be from bpost. It might look real, but it was not sent by us. These emails or texts are fraudulent messages, also known as phishing, sent by scammers. The following tips will help you recognize phishing and will inform you about what to do with these types of messages.Do not believe every text message or e-mail and don't just enter your personal detailsFirst of all, ask yourself whether you are expecting a parcel. For shipments within the EU, bpost will never ask you to pay when your parcel is in transit (e.g. to avoid extra costs), or to provide personal information by e-mail or text message. Furthermore, bpost will never threaten to send a bailiff if you don't pay for your parcel. Only enter personal details if you are 100% sure that you are dealing with bpost. We will never ask you for personal information via e-mail or text message.Check the web addressA fraudulent email or text message usually contains a link or button that goes to an untrustworthy website. You can check the URL by hovering over the link with your mouse. The web address will then appear at the bottom left of your browser. If you do not recognize the address immediately, do not click the link.Help prevent phishingForward suspicious messages to suspicious@safeonweb.be. This way, you will help prevent others from becoming victims of scammers.

How much does it cost to return a parcel?

How much does it cost to return a parcel?

If the original sender offers you the option to return your parcel, then you have two options:

  • The return shipment is free.
  • The return shipment is not free. Either you must pay part of the costs yourself in the Post Office or Post Point where you turn in your return shipment, or the original sender deducts a small return fee from the amount that he refunds.

If the original sender does not offer any return options, then you must send your parcel as a regular shipment. In that case, the price of your parcel depends on the weight, the size and the destination. Use our online shipping tool to calculate the price of your parcel.

Calculate the price of your parcel

Can I hand in my return shipment at a Post Office or Post Point, give it to the postman or leave it in a Parcel Locker?

The postman cannot take your return shipment. You can hand it in at a Post Office, Post Point or Parcel Point. The longest side of your parcel can be maximum 1.5 m long, and the total length (1 x length + 2 x width + 2 x height) can be maximum 3 m. You can also leave it in a parcel locker. In that case, it can be maximum 42 x 31 x 58 cm. If desired, we can also come and collect your return shipment. In that case, your parcel can weigh maximum 30 kg. The longest side can be maximum 1.5 m long, and the total length maximum 3 m. The price of a pick-up depends on where we must collect your parcel. You can request a pick-up or "collect" online or by phone on the number 02 278 50 44. If you request a pick-up online before 11:30 or by phone before 12:00, then the postman will pick up your parcel(s) the same day between 12:00 and 17:00. If you contact us later in the day, then the postman will pass by the next workday. Attach a bpost shipping label on every parcel. That label is not included in the price of the pick-up. Find a Post Point

Where do I find the return label for my return shipment?

If the original sender offers you the possibility to return your parcel, then there are three possibilities:
  • The return label is in the parcel.
  • You download the return label from the sender's online shop and print it at home.
  • Some senders allow you to have the return label printed in the Post Office or Post Point where you send the parcel back.
If the original sender does not offer any return options, then you must create and purchase a shipping label.

Does bpost also handle my return via couriers like DHL, Mondial Relay and DPD?

bpost also delivers parcels for DHL in Belgium. You must attach a valid DHL shipping label on your return shipment. Your parcel will be delivered to the original sender by DHL. A parcel that is delivered by a different postal service can always be sent back with bpost. In that case, you must purchase a shipping label via our website, in our eShop or in a Post Office, Post Point or Parcel Point. You send your return shipment as regular mail. The price depends on the weight, the size and the destination. Use our online tool to calculate the price of your parcel. One of our partners is responsible for the delivery of your return shipment outside Belgium.
