I get a message that my parcel has been delivered, but I haven't received anything. What now?
FAQ
Residential
A couple of tips if you have not received anything: Check if someone else (your neighbour or flatmate) has received your parcel. If it is a small parcel, the postman may have delivered it to your letterbox without ringing the doorbell. Your parcel may also have been delivered according to your delivery preferences (directly to a Pick-up point, to your safe location or to your neighbour). If it is left in a safe place by your home, you can view the photo of that safe place in the My bpost app or Track & Trace . Also make sure that you have not received a failed delivery notice from the postman in your letterbox. It will tell you where your parcel has gone to. Keep in mind that you only receive this notice if we cannot reach you digitally.
, If you are the receiver
, and you still cannot find your parcel, please contact the sender for a solution. He is the only one who can start an investigation at bpost and make sure that you still receive your parcel.

How can someone else collect my parcel from a Parcel Locker?
FAQ
Residential
You can easily ask someone else to pick up your parcel. The process depends on the type of Parcel Locker your parcel has been delivered to.
, In a Parcel Locker with screen
, If you have received a parcel in a Parcel Locker with a screen, you will receive an e-mail containing: the barcode of your parcel a QR code a code of 6 digits and/or numbers (just below the QR code). With one of these three elements, someone else can pick up your parcel from a Parcel Locker. You can simply forward the e-mail you have received to the person who would like to pick up your parcel for you.
, In a Screenless Parcel Locker
, If your parcel has been delivered to a Screenless Parcel Locker, you need to send the barcode of your parcel to the person who would like to collect your parcel for you (you will find the barcode in the e-mail announcing that your parcel is available). The person who is picking up your parcel on your behalf should then enter the barcode of your parcel in their My bpost app. (You can add a shipment via the home screen). In turn, you will receive a tracking request for that parcel in the app. You can easily accept this request. If you do not, the request will be automatically declined after 24 hours. Once accepted, the designated person can track and collect your parcel for you. The process for the person to pick up your parcel is as follows: Go to the Parcel Locker and enable Bluetooth and location on your smartphone Open the My bpost app and select the parcel you would like to receive Follow the steps in the app to connect to the Parcel Locker Take out the parcel and close the door.
