If your parcel was not delivered, check the status of your shipment via Track & Trace or the My bpost app first. If the status of your parcel has not changed for a while (at least 5 workdays for shipments to a neighbouring country, at least 10 workdays for the United Kingdom and all other countries), ask the sender to contact our customer service. Only the sender of your parcel can submit a complaint. If you are the sender, please contact our customer service. It is best to do this via the online form at the bottom of this page. This way, you can immediately provide us with all the necessary information to start an investigation quickly.

Some tips in case you didn't receive anything:

• Ask whether someone else (your neighbour or co-occupant) accepted your parcel.
• If it is a small parcel, it's possible that the postman placed it in the letterbox.
• Your parcel may have been delivered according to your delivery preferences (at a Pick-up point, in your safe place, with your neighbour).
• Check Track & Trace or the My bpost app if the adress on your parcel is correct.
• Check if you received a failed delivery notice in your letterbox. It will indicate where your parcel is.

If you are the receiver and still cannot find your parcel, contact the sender for a solution. Only the sender can start an investigation at bpost and ensure that you receive the parcel. If you are the sender, please contact our customer service via the online form at the bottom of this page. This way you can immediately provide all the necessary information and documents to process your file.

Contact the sender to discuss the best solution for your order. Most senders have permanent agreements with bpost regarding lost and damaged parcels. Only the sender can submit a complaint about this because they paid bpost for the shipment. If you are the sender, please contact our customer service via the online form at the bottom of this page.

Most senders have fixed agreements with bpost for lost parcels. Only the sender can file a complaint for a lost parcel because the sender pays bpost for the shipment. He needs to meet certain deadlines for this, but in the meantime he can decide, in consultation with you, to send the parcel again or to refund you. Your parcel has already been delivered on our Track & Trace, but you haven't received it? Then check the following possibilities before contacting the sender:

• Ask if someone else (your neighbour or co-inhabitant) has received your parcel.
• The postman may have placed it into the letterbox if it is a small parcel.
• Your parcel may have been delivered according to your delivery preferences (immediately at a Pick-up point, at your safe place, to your neighbour).
• Make sure that you have not received an attempted delivery notice from the postman in your letterbox. This will tell you where your parcel is.

It is possible that the sender asks you to confirm that you did not receive the parcel by e-mail or signed document when the parcel was sent with guarantee.

If the status of your parcel does not change for several workdays, something probably went wrong. Please be aware that unforeseen circumstances may cause the delivery of your parcel to be delayed. Please contact the sender in the following cases:

• If the status of your parcel sent within Belgium has not changed for several consecutive workdays.
• If the status of your parcel to or from a neighbouring country has not changed for at least 5 workdays.
• If your parcel to or from another country has not changed for at least 10 workdays.

We are sorry that your postman did not ring the doorbell to deliver your shipment. Please note that the postman is not obliged to ring the bell if your parcel fits in the letterbox.

If the postman regularly fails to ring your bell, please report this using the online form at the bottom of this page. We will ask for your contact details so that we can discuss this with the right postman.
