I just missed my parcel. Can the postman pass by again today?
FAQ
Residential
No, regrettably that is not possible. For logistical reasons, our postmen cannot pass by your home once again.
, I have not yet set any delivery preferences
, If you haven’t yet set your delivery preferences, we will generally try to leave your parcel at a neighbour or in a safe place by your home. If we cannot do this, we’ll let you know where you can pick up your parcel: Digitally in the My bpost app or in Track & Trace, if we know your email address. By means of a failed delivery notice if we cannot reach you digitally. In this case, your parcel will not be available immediately. You or someone else can collect your parcel from the Pick-up point within 14 calendar days.
, I have set delivery preferences
, In this case your parcel will be delivered in accordance with your preferences (at a Pick-up point, in a safe place or at a neighbour). For full details of your parcel and its whereabouts, see our emails, the My bpost app or Track & Trace .
Who can pick up my shipment at the Pick-up point?
FAQ
Residential
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. More information about giving a postal mandate to pick up registered mail .
This depends on where your parcel was sent.
, My parcel comes from inside the European Union
, Customs is authorised to check all shipments from inside the European Union. That usually involves suspect shipments from EU member states and shipments with excisable goods inside the European Community. Your parcel doesn't usually experience extra delays.
, My parcel comes from outside the European Union
, These parcels undergo an import procedure by default. The handling period depends on the following two factors: whether your parcel has enough information, such as the value and nature of the goods. (If that is not the case, you will receive a letter a few days later. In that case, the handling period is extended until you send the additional information). The customs clearance service of bpost checks whether VAT, customs fees or other duties have to be paid on your parcel. whether customs or other official authorities have to check your parcel. That is the case for medicine, plants and food, weapons, suspected counterfeit goods, etc. You can follow the status of your parcel online with Track & Trace and the My bpost app.
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.
, I used the return label of the sender or webshop
, If you have used the return label that came with your order to return your parcel, you should contact the sender or webshop. Only they can file a complaint about your parcel because they can pay bpost for the shipment.
, I bought a return label via bpost
, Please contact our customer service using the online form at the bottom of this page in the following cases: If the status of your return shipment within Belgium has not changed for several consecutive workdays . If the status of your return shipment to a neighbouring country has not changed for at least 5 workdays. If the status of your return shipment to another country has not changed for at least 10 workdays.
In most cases an online shop or sender will let you know which barcode you can use to follow your shipment online. In some cases, items are shipped without tracking. Examples include small items that fit in an envelope (a small cable, accessories, etc.) If this shipment comes from outside the EU, it will go through the import procedure upon arrival in Belgium. This shipment without tracing receives a barcode that starts with the letter 'U'. This allows you to pay the import costs via the My bpost app or Track & Trace. Once the import procedure has been completed, the status of this barcode (which starts with 'U') will no longer change. It will become a shipment without tracking once again, until it is delivered to you. Please remain alert for suspicious messages. Are you expecting a shipment? Could the text message or email you received be phishing? To be sure, check the barcode in the My bpost app or via Track & Trace. You can also find photos of your shipment there. If a payment is requested there as well, you can be sure that the shipment is destined for you.

Send a Letter, Card or Registered Mail

We understand how it could be irritating to have to show your ID card every time you receive registered mail. However, under the postal law ( see Royal Decree of 14 March 2022 – Chapter 2 Article 9. § 1 ) our delivery and counter staff have an obligation to check your identity and to take a photo of an official document confirming your identity. That is because registered mail has legal value. We therefore need to check your proof of identity to verify your identity, so we can be certain that the mail has been handed to the right person.
