Why wasn't my parcel delivered to a neighbour?
FAQResidential
There can be several reasons why your parcel was not delivered to a neighbour: The postman could not deliver your parcel to a neighbour because he was not at home or did not accept it. Your parcel is a shipment with payment upon delivery. Your parcel is a secure delivery, so you need to show your secure delivery code. Your parcel is a registered mail. Your chosen neighbour (under My Delivery Preferences) lives more than 50 m walking distance from your home. The parcel was ordered with an email address that (still) is not linked to your delivery preferences. That's why we were not able to apply your delivery preference. Take into account that the validation of a new account or new address via MyPreferences takes 10 days. If you do not think that the above mentioned reasons are the cause, you can report this via the online form .
Occasionally the people at the Pick-up point won’t have had the chance to process your parcel, so they won’t be able to find it for you or hand it over immediately. To make sure the parcel is ready for you, check the My bpost app or Track & Trace before you go to the Pick-up point. If your parcel should be available at the Pick-up point according to Track & Trace, but it isn’t, ask for more information via the chatbot, in Track & Trace or in the My bpost app. This should be the quickest way to get an update on the status and the whereabouts of your parcel. If not, as a last resort you can fill out the online form at the bottom of this page to start an investigation. To start a chat, simply enter the barcode number and postcode of your parcel in Track & Trace.
If your parcel gets lost or is damaged, then the compensation depends on the chosen option: Light parcels (up to 2 kg) without option 'declared value': no compensation Light parcels (up to 2 kg) with option 'declared value': you are compensated in accordance with the amount of the declared value. Parcels up to 30 kg: you receive compensation for the actual damage. That compensation is maximum 40 SDR per parcel. SDR stands for special drawing rights, a unit for international exchanges. 1 SDR = 1.2454 eur. Added to that amount are postage fees and 4.5 SDR per kg. If you would like to apply for a compensation, it is best to contact our customer service via the online form at the bottom of this page. This way, you can immediately provide all the necessary information and documents to process your file. In case of damage, the complaint must be submitted within 7 calendar days.

I have already paid VAT through the webshop. Now I have to pay again. How is that possible?
FAQResidential
In exceptional cases, you may have to pay VAT and import costs a second time on your shipment. This is because the IOSS webshop on which you ordered or the local postal company of the sender did not (correctly) register this information. An IOSS shop is required to forward its IOSS number digitally. Customs uses this number to read out the necessary information about your shipment automatically. If this number is not transmitted or valid, the bpost customs clearance service is obliged to charge the recipient for VAT and customs formalities. (It is not enough to note the IOSS number on the package or to communicate it afterwards.) If you are charged import costs and VAT a second time, then: You can refuse the shipment in the My bpost app or Track & Trace and request a full refund from the sender. You can pay the import costs and reclaim the VAT from the sender who wrongfully charged it. To do this, contact the sender and present your proof of payment from the My bpost app or Track & Trace.
On gifts from family or friends from outside the EU, customs charges import costs if the shipment does not meet all the requirements of a gift . If you believe that your shipment does meet these conditions, you can dispute these costs and apply for an exemption. You can do this after you have received a letter or request for payment.
, I have received a letter to provide the proof of value
, Ask the sender to send you an email confirming: the contents of the shipment the value (in €) of the shipment that your shipment is a gift You can then upload this email as proof via the online form. To do so, follow the instructions in the letter.
, I have received an invitation to pay the import costs
, Ask the sender to send you an email confirming: the contents of the shipment the value (in €) of the shipment that your shipment is a gift Then, enter your barcode and postal code via Track & Trace or via the My bpost app. There you will find a link to an online form to dispute your import costs. Upload the sender's email to this online form as proof.
, Please note
, : Customs carries out checks on the value of shipments. A fine may be imposed in the event of an erroneous declaration. Upload the sender's email to this form as proof.
You will receive several emails throughout the delivery process of your parcel: You will receive an email as soon as the sender tells us they want us to deliver your parcel and provides us with your email address. When your parcel is sorted, you will receive an email confirming the planned delivery date with a timeslot and allowing you to choose a delivery preference, including the option for next working day delivery. On the day of delivery, you will receive an email stating an estimated time of delivery. If you will not be home at that time, the email enables you to indicate where you want your parcel to be delivered. If the postman delivered your parcel in your letterbox, in a safe place or to a neighbour, you will receive a confirmation email. If your parcel is available at a Pick-up Point, Parcel Locker or point of sale, you will receive a confirmation email. Every email includes a link to track your parcel via our Track & Trace page. You can also track your parcel at any time in the My bpost app or on Track & Trace. If the status of a parcel changes, you will be informed with a notification in the app. You can always choose where your parcel will be delivered if you are not at home.
