This status appears when the sender confirms that we can deliver your parcel on his behalf. Either the sender is still preparing the parcel, or the parcel has been handed over to bpost but still needs to be sorted and processed. Most parcels are processed within 5 days after the sender has chosen bpost as postal service.

Most senders have fixed agreements with bpost for lost parcels. Only the sender can file a complaint for a lost parcel because the sender pays bpost for the shipment. He needs to meet certain deadlines for this, but in the meantime he can decide, in consultation with you, to send the parcel again or to refund you. Your parcel has already been delivered on our Track & Trace, but you haven't received it? Then check the following possibilities before contacting the sender: Ask if someone else (your neighbour or co-inhabitant) has received your parcel. The postman may have placed it into the letterbox if it is a small parcel. Your parcel may have been delivered according to your delivery preferences (immediately at a Pick-up point, at your safe place, to your neighbour). Make sure that you have not received an attempted delivery notice from the postman in your letterbox. This will tell you where your parcel is. It is possible that the sender asks you to confirm that you did not receive the parcel by e-mail or signed document when the parcel was sent with guarantee.
There are alternatives if you do not want a photo to be taken of your ID card during the delivery of registered mail. You can also have a photo taken of something else that proves who you are. It must always be issued by an official body or agency and it must include your full name and a photo that is clearly recognisable as you. Examples are a passport, a driving licence or a train or bus pass. You can also ask the person delivering to note down your full name and ID card number on the missed delivery notice and take a photo of that. Or ask him or her to hand your registered mail in at the post office of post point. When you go there to pick it up, you will again be asked to allow a photo to be taken of your ID card. You can then ask the person at the counter to note down your full name and ID card number and take a photo of that instead. You can also set up a last-minute mandate in the My bpost app under ‘delivery preferences’. You will receive a QR code you or someone else can use to take receipt of the registered mail item.
What can the result of a customs check be?
FAQResidential
Customs can perform a security check on all goods coming from outside the European Union to verify whether the import into Belgium is allowed. This check is done after payment of the import fees and can have one of the following results: The import of the shipment is approved by Belgian customs the day after arrival in Belgium. The shipment is then given to bpost for processing and delivery. The shipment is subject to inspection. Please allow an additional 3 to 7 days for delivery. (Depends on whether other government agencies need to check the goods.) A fine must be paid (e.g. if the goods do not match the description) or additional documentation required (e.g. the import licence is missing). This will be communicated to you by letter or by email, together with further instructions. The goods are subject to import restrictions, so their importation is prohibited. In the worst case, your shipment may be returned to the sender or destroyed. This will be communicated to you by letter or by email, together with further instructions.
, Important:
, If you have paid the import costs and customs seizes your shipment, you will not be able to get a refund of the import costs.
In most cases an online shop or sender will let you know which barcode you can use to follow your shipment online. In some cases, items are shipped without tracking. Examples include small items that fit in an envelope (a small cable, accessories, etc.) If this shipment comes from outside the EU, it will go through the import procedure upon arrival in Belgium. This shipment without tracing receives a barcode that starts with the letter 'U'. This allows you to pay the import costs via the My bpost app or Track & Trace. Once the import procedure has been completed, the status of this barcode (which starts with 'U') will no longer change. It will become a shipment without tracking once again, until it is delivered to you. Please remain alert for suspicious messages. Are you expecting a shipment? Could the text message or email you received be phishing? To be sure, check the barcode in the My bpost app or via Track & Trace. You can also find photos of your shipment there. If a payment is requested there as well, you can be sure that the shipment is destined for you.
