Do my delivery preferences apply to all parcels or can I set them separately for each parcel?
FAQResidential

You can also set or change your delivery preferences per parcel. bpost will send you a separate e-mail for each parcel. In this e-mail, you can set or change your delivery preferences for that specific parcel. Tip: You can also change your delivery preferences for all your parcels or for just one parcel in the My bpost app.
You can protect the contents of your parcel within Belgium up to €500 via the ‘With warranty’ mailing option. In case of loss or damage, you will be reimbursed for the value of the contents of your shipment (up to max. €500) + the shipping costs. If the contents only include documents, then you will be reimbursed €15 in case of damage or loss. You can select the ‘With warranty’ 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. With a regular shipping label, without extra options, we only reimburse the shipping costs of your parcel if we are responsible for the loss or the damage.
We will only leave a failed delivery notice if we cannot reach you digitally. That helps us cut our paper consumption. For the latest information about the status and whereabouts of your parcel, see our emails, the My bpost app or Track & Trace .
, Picking up a parcel
, You can collect your parcel by showing the barcode number of your parcel in the e-mail or in the My bpost app. As soon as your parcel is at a Pick-up point, the status of your shipment is updated on Track & Trace and you will receive an e-mail. So always check the status of your parcel online before you go to the Pick-up point.
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.
The My bpost app will not be able to connect to the Parcel Locker if: Your smartphone does not have access to your location and/or Bluetooth on your smartphone is not enabled. You are not standing in front of the correct locker. Always check the exact address and number of the Parcel Locker in the e-mail you have received from us (sometimes there are 2 lockers in the same street). Your parcel has been returned to the sender. This happens when you do not pick up your parcel after 5 working days. You can always find the latest pick-up date in the e-mail you have received from us (or in the My bpost app).
