How do I know if I can trace my international shipment?
FAQResidential
If the barcode of your international shipment does not start with the letter "U", then you can easily trace it and thus track it online.

To track your shipment, make sure to enter the complete barcode on Track & Trace or in the My bpost app.
How to send or return my parcel through the postman?
FAQResidential

Your parcel cannot weigh more than 30 kg. The postman will only accept your parcel if he needs to deliver another one to your address, so you can't just leave it next to your letterbox.
