Who can accept my shipment?
FAQResidential
Who is allowed to accept your shipment depends on the type of shipment.
, My shipment is a parcel
, Anyone at home at your address can accept your parcel, including household help or your partner, even if it is a parcel requiring a signature upon receipt. If we deliver to your (chosen) neighbour, anyone present at that address can also accept the parcel.
, My shipment is registered mail
, You can recognise registered mail by the barcode starting with the numbers ‘010’ or the letter ‘R’. In the case of registered mail, only you (or your proxy ) can accept the shipment upon presentation of an ID card.
Is my parcel additionally protected against theft and damage if I send it in a bpost box?
FAQResidential
Your parcel does not receive extra protection if you send it in a bpost box. If you want extra protection, choose the ‘With warranty’ shipping option. In case of loss or damage, you will be reimbursed for the value of the contents of your shipment (up to max. €500). More information about the calculation of this compensation . You can select this mailing option when creating a shipping label via the online shipping tool. Or go to a Post Office or Post Point near you and ask the counter clerk to send your parcel with warranty. You can also choose the ‘With warranty’ option for parcels sent abroad.
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.
If Track & Trace indicates that bpost has received your shipment, you will receive it within a maximum of 5 working days. If the shipment has not arrived after 10 working days, you can file a complaint with the sender. The sender can decide whether to refund the purchase (partially) or reship your order. As there is no tracking of the shipment, there is no compensation possible from bpost.
, Tip:
, when buying outside the EU, always opt for a tracked shipment and preferably buy from webshops that ask you to pay VAT in advance. This limits your costs and risks (import costs cannot be recovered in case of loss or damage) and speeds up the delivery time.

Why do I have to pay for the import of a shipment?
FAQResidential
My shipment is coming from within the EU
, Some regions of the EU are also subject to customs duties and VAT because they are not part of the EU customs territory, even if they belong to the geographical territory of the EU (e.g. the Canary Islands).
, My shipment is coming from outside the EU
, In accordance with European customs legislation and VAT regulations, you must pay taxes (customs duties, VAT, excise duty and administrative processing charges) on all commercial shipments from outside the EU. Your shipment will only be delivered if you pay these charges within 14 days of receiving the payment notification. Once the import fees are paid, your shipment will be presented to customs. If your shipment is a gift , you may be exempt from import charges in certain cases. If you order from a registered online shop (Import One-Stop Shop or IOSS), which pays the VAT in advance, you don’t have to pay any additional taxes, customs duties or administrative fees to the customs clearance service of bpost. You can easily recognise a recognised webshop: if your shopping basket states that VAT is included, you are safe! Most major webshops such as
, AliExpress, eBay and Wish
, are already registered. Ali Express Ebay Wish
