When delivering registered mail and parcels, our postmen are required to ring the doorbell and wait a minimal time. Unfortunately, you might find a failed delivery notice in your letterbox even though you were home. You can file a complaint about this. Keep your failed delivery notice handy because you will need it to compete the form.

If the addressee is not home, a failed delivery notice is left behind by the postman. The addressee has 15 calendar days to pick up your registered mail with confirmation of receipt (in the Post Office or Post Point mentioned on the failed delivery notice). If the addressee does not pick up your mail within 15 calendar days, it will be sent back to you. Make sure that your name and address are clearly written on your shipment.

It is best to contact our customer service via the online form at the bottom of this page and keep your mailing receipt ready. We start an investigation in collaboration with the foreign post operator that handled your shipment.

You can follow your registered mail with customised insurance with Track & Trace, just like the time of delivery. If you want written proof that the addressee received your shipment, add the "confirmation of receipt" option.

Registered mail is returned in the following cases: • if the address is incomplete or incorrect • if the addressee does not receive mail at the specified address • if the addressee declined to accept the registered letter • if the addressee did not pick up the registered mail within 15 days, after receiving a notice of absence.

Only the addressee(s) or those with a postal mandate from the addressee(s) can accept registered mail. The item is only delivered after signing for receipt and checking the ID card of the addressee(s) or postal proxy. The sender determines who the item must be handed over to.

When delivering registered mail, our postmen are required to ring the doorbell and wait a minimal time. Unfortunately, you might find a failed delivery notice in your letterbox even though you were home. Have you checked whether your doorbell is working properly? If your doorbell is in perfect working order then your postman did not do his/her job properly. We offer our sincere apologies for this. Let us know what happened.

Track & Trace notifications are only informative and have no legal value. Only the mailing receipt ensures that you are legally covered.

If the addressee has an active contract with the Forwarding Department at bpost, we will forward your item to his/her new address. If the addressee does not have a contract, your item will be returned to you with registered mail. Make sure that your name and address are clearly written on the item.

When you hand in your registered mail at a Post Office or Post Point, you receive a stamped mailing receipt. This is a legally valid document that can be used in the event of a dispute. You will not (at the moment) receive an email confirming the receipt of your registered mail. You can follow your registered mail online with Track & Trace.

  We process your international registered mail as a priority shipment. After that it depends on the delivery period of the foreign post operator that handles your shipment. Once the shipment leaves Belgium, the delivery period differs from country to country.

No, if you are not home, the postman will leave a failed delivery notice that indicates where and when you (or your proxy) can pick up your registered mail.
