Can I phone the postman or follow his route online in order to receive my missed parcel?

How quickly will my letter be delivered abroad?
FAQResidential
The delivery time for letters to foreign countries depends on different factors: The destination: your letter is usually delivered faster within Europe than outside Europe Postal delivery in the destination country: foreign postal services might not distribute letters daily Local holidays Within Belgium, your international letter is treated as priority mail until it reaches the border. This is not necessarily the case in the destination country.
, Indicative delivery period of letters in foreign countries
, To our neighbouring countries: 2 to 3 working days To other European countries: 3 to 6 working days To the rest of the world: 5 to 20 working days Since bpost has no influence on the postal process in other countries, the delivery period may differ from the indicative delivery period.
Can I recover my import costs?
FAQResidential
If your parcel is lost or damaged after you have paid the import costs, you cannot recover these costs. Always contact the sender. The sender can launch an investigation. You will be compensated up to the amount of the customs formalities if: your shipment was sent with tracking (barcode that does not start with the letter “U”) the sender has opened an investigation the investigation makes it clear that the fault lies with bpost
, Tips:
, If you are buying outside the EU, choose a tracked shipment if possible. Your parcel is more likely to be found if it is lost. Choose registered webshops (Import One-Stop Shop or IOSS) that ask you to pay the VAT in advance. This will reduce costs and risks (import costs are not refunded in case of loss or damage) and shorten the delivery period.
bpost returns your parcel to the sender if: The sender entered your home address incorrectly. Your parcel was not accepted at the door (e.g. because it is damaged) You did not pick up your parcel at the Pick-up point within 14 calendar days You did not pick up your parcel at the Parcel Locker within 5 calendar days Contact the sender to take further actions (e.g. to ship your parcel again or if you want a refund). If your parcel was returned to sender incorrectly, please let us know via our online form at the bottom of this page.
