What happens to the photo of my proof of identity taken during the delivery of registered mail?
FAQResidential
We take great care to ensure that the photo taken of your proof of identity during the delivery of registered mail is securely saved to our system. Those photos are always taken with bpost secured devices. Your photo will never just be shared or made public. It is taken as a security measure to prove that the registered mail has been delivered to the right person. It remains confidential and is only accessed in very exceptional circumstances, such as a legal dispute about the delivery of the item. In that case, a judge may demand to see the photo of your proof of identity. The photo will only be released under strict legal conditions, in compliance with all applicable data protection laws and regulations. It is kept for 13 months in line with the legal retention period. At the end of this period it is automatically erased.
Why wasn't my parcel delivered to a Parcel Locker?
FAQResidential
There can be different reasons why your parcel was not delivered to a Parcel Locker: The Parcel Locker was full or out of order due to a technical breakdown. Your parcel was too heavy or too large for delivery to a Parcel Locker. Some parcels cannot be delivered to a Parcel Locker; these include Registered Mail (signature required) and parcels that require payment upon delivery. If we cannot deliver your parcel to a Parcel Locker, we will deliver it to a different Pick-Up Point close by. You will be informed with Track & Trace and the My bpost app.

You’ll get an email or a notification in the My bpost app stating the delivery date and location when your parcel is on its way. You’ll then be able to have your parcel redirected to family or friends who live near you. Your parcel will be delivered straight to that address rather than trying your home address first. You are not home and you didn't set your delivery preferences The postman may deliver your parcel to a safe place or a neighbour. If that doesn't work, your parcel goes to a Pick-up point in your neighbourhood. You prefer to have your parcel delivered to the same place every time When setting your delivery preferences you can only list neighbours who live close by (within a 50 metres' radius). Your parcel will be delivered to that address if you are not home.
How will I know when my parcel is delivered?
FAQResidential
You can follow your parcel online with Track & Trace and the My bpost app. Enter the barcode number that is on the label of your return shipment. Be sure to enter the correct postcode: If there is a return label in your parcel, then the correct postcode is the postcode on the original shipping label that is attached to the parcel. If you have to create a shipping label, then the correct postcode is the postcode of the receiver of your return shipment. You will be notified in the app when your parcel is delivered. If you create and purchase a shipping label, you can click on the 'Confirmation of Receipt' option. You will receive a text message or e-mail regarding the status of your parcel: When the parcel is delivered. When the parcel is not delivered because the addressee was not present. In that case, it is delivered to the nearest Post Office or Post Point. When the addressee has not collected it from the Post Office or Post Point.
In principle, parcels that you receive from a sender within the European Union do not have to go through customs. However, Belgian customs can screen these shipments exceptionally. Some regions of the EU are subject to customs duties and VAT. This is because they are not part of the customs territory of the EU, even though they are part of the geographical territory of the EU (e.g., the Canary Islands). Always check the country of origin of your parcel. Something you order from a European webshop can also come from outside the European Union. In that case, you will have to pay any customs charges in advance via the My bpost app or via Track & Trace. You can always refuse these extra costs. Your parcel will then be returned to the sender.
Why do I have to pay 'fees for customs formalities'?
FAQResidential
Fees for customs formalities are administrative charges that are charged by the bpost customs clearance service for: determining the contents and value of the parcel contacting the addressee in case the contents, value and details of the parcel do not correspond or are incomplete; creating the required customs declaration; storage and warehousing of the shipment during the collection of customs duties. These charges apply to all shipments from outside the European Union (+ United Kingdom). You can, however, avoid additional taxes, customs duties and administrative costs by ordering from a registered online shop (Import One-Stop Shop or IOSS). You can easily recognise a recognised webshop: if your shopping basket states that VAT is included, you are safe! Most major webshops such as

How do I receive registered mail?
FAQResidential
Registered mail will only be handed over to you upon presentation of your ID card, and you will have to sign for it. This is required by law, as the document in the mail has legal value. We therefore have to check that you are the rightful addressee. Delivery preferences for registered mail You can set your preferences for how your registered mail item is delivered in the My bpost app. These are the options: Delivered to your letterbox: we won’t ring your bell, we’ll simply put the mail straight through your letterbox. Proxy: in the app you authorise someone else to take receipt of your registered mail. More details about proxies . Postpone delivery to your home by one working day. Immediate delivery at a Post Office or Post Point. The last two options are only available for registered mail for which you have received advanced notification. In that case, you’ll get an email or an app notification stating the delivery date and location.
