I attached a non-priority stamp on my envelope. Can I still turn it into priority mail?
FAQResidential
If you already attached a non-priority stamp on the envelope but want it to be delivered the next workday, you must go to the Post Office. With a small surcharge – the difference between a non-priority and a priority stamp – we will turn your letter into priority mail.
In some countries, your addressee can pick up the money at any Ria agency. For other countries, the sender must indicate in which agency your addressee must pick up the money. The counter clerk in your Post Office will give you more information about this.
Always check the details of your money transfer carefully before signing the form and agreeing to the transfer. The counter clerk uses those details to send your money. If an error was made, you must go back to the Post Office or Ria agency where the money was sent and modify the transaction.
Do I have to indicate a Ria agency?
FAQResidential
That depends on the receiving country. For most countries, you only have to indicate the name of the country. For some countries, you must also indicate in which Ria agency your addressee will pick up the money. The counter clerk in your Post Office will tell you which countries require you to choose a Ria agency.
Who can pick up my shipment at the Pick-up point?

When do I receive the proof of deposit when dropping off my registered mail in a Red Letterbox?

I receive someone else's mail. What can I do?
FAQResidential
Is the address correct on the letters that you receive? bpost delivers shipments based on the address, not the name. We are required to deliver letters intended for your address to you. You no longer want to receive someone else's letters? Cross out the address, write on the envelope that this person no longer lives at this address, then place the letter in a red mailbox or in the mailbox at a Post Office. We will inform the sender. Is the address on the letters that you receive incorrect? We are sorry that our postman is delivering someone else's mail in your letterbox. The best way to report this is via the online form at the bottom of this page. We will ask for your contact details so that we can talk to the right postman about this.
How do I know if I can trace my international shipment?
FAQResidential
If the barcode of your international shipment does not start with the letter "U", then you can easily trace it and thus track it online. A barcode with the letter “U” is only used to enable the import procedure and to present the shipment to Belgian customs. After release, it will be handed over to bpost without further tracking. The barcode can be found in our communications (My bpost app, e-mail or sms), on the receipt from the Post Office and on the note the postman left in your letterbox. To track your shipment, make sure to enter the complete barcode on Track & Trace or in the My bpost app.
