How can I follow my parcel that comes from abroad?
FAQResidential
You can follow your parcel outside Belgium with Track & Trace. bpost relies on its international partners for the Track & Trace information. They are not always able to communicate this information (on time) so you might not be able to follow your parcel immediately. Once your parcel arrives in Belgium at bpost, you can follow it with our Track & Trace and the My bpost app.
, Tip:
, You can also follow your parcel with the Track & Trace of the foreign postal service handling your parcel. Use the barcode number that you received from the sender and enter it in the Track & Trace of the foreign postal service.
, Please note:
, If your barcode starts with the letter ‘U’, you cannot track your shipment. This barcode is only used to facilitate the import procedure and present the shipment to Belgian customs. After the shipment is released, it will be handed over to bpost without further tracking.
How can I pay the import costs?
FAQResidential
Once the import costs are calculated, you will find a detailed overview of the costs in Track & Trace and in the My bpost app. You will receive a request to pay the import costs. This can be by email, text message or notification if you have installed the My bpost app. If the sender did not send us the data digitally, you will receive a letter with a payment request. You can make the payment securely via the My bpost app or by signing in via Track & Trace. You can pay via Bancontact, Mastercard, Visa or mobile banking. Also from abroad. PayPal and bank transfers are not possible. Exceptionally, you can pay your import costs in another way . Watch out for fake messages and phishing; bpost will never ask you to pay by bank transfer or provide a bank account number. Read all about it on our phishing page .

General Terms and Conditions regarding bpost service.
There are several reasons why your parcel was not delivered according to your preference.
, Your profile is not yet complete.
, Your delivery preferences are linked to the email address you entered in your ‘MyPreferences’ account or the My bpost app. Perhaps the parcel was ordered with a different email address than the one entered in MyPreferences.
, Tip:
, Check your profile in MyPreferences A green “V” appears next to your address if your account is validated (10 days after creation). Make sure your address is correct. Add the names you use to order parcels. Add all email addresses you use to order parcels.
, No email address received from sender
, It is also possible that the sender did not provide us with your email address. Unless you have not agreed to this, we will link your delivery preference to the name or address on your parcel (as of 10 days after the account was created). They must be identical to your name and the address in your account.
, The type of parcel prevented us from delivering according to your delivery preference
, Delivery to your safe place and your neighbour is not possible for: Parcels with payment upon delivery (e.g. a number plate). Parcels you can only receive after showing your secure delivery code. Parcels sent as registered mail. We can only deliver these on presentation of your ID card. You can recognise such parcels by the barcode that starts with an ‘R’. Parcels sent under guarantee or with insurance cannot be delivered to a safe place. Delivery to a Parcel Locker is not possible: If the parcel is too large or too heavy. In that case, it will be sent to a different Pick-up Point. For parcels you can only receive after showing your secure delivery code. Your parcel fits in your letterbox: The postman always tries to deliver your parcel into your letterbox first, even in the case of direct delivery to a Pick-up Point.
, Tip:
, Check Track & Trace to see if the delivery preferences apply to your parcel.
, The postman could not perform the delivery preference
, Your safe place was not safe enough, not accessible and/or not dry enough. The postman was unable to deliver your parcel to a neighbour because they were not at home or refused to accept it. Your Pick-up Point or Parcel Locker was temporarily unavailable when we delivered your parcel. For example, because the Parcel Locker was full or the Post Point was closed for annual leave.
, Tip
, : have you noticed this happening on a regular basis? Then modify your delivery preferences. If you think there is another reason, you can report it via our online form .
Why should I contact the sender if my parcel is damaged?
FAQResidential
Most senders have fixed agreements with bpost for damaged parcels. Only the sender can file a complaint for a damaged parcel because the sender pays bpost for the shipment. In addition, he can decide, in consultation with you, to reship the parcel or to refund you. Your sender will ask you for photos of the damage, both of the packaging and of the contents, because he needs them in order to file a complaint with us. Please also note that bpost must receive the complaint within 7 calendar days of delivery, regardless of what the sender agrees with you. It is therefore best to contact him as soon as possible.
