I received a parcel with the wrong contents. What should I do? Who will deliver the correct parcel?
FAQ
Residential
If the contents of your parcel do not correspond with what you ordered, then you must contact the original sender of your parcel. Ask him/her to send the correct parcel. You will usually be asked to return the incorrect parcel first. If the sender offers you the option to return your parcel, then attach the return label on the parcel and send it back. The return label is in the package, or you can download and print it from the sender's website or from an e-mail from the sender. If the sender does not offer any return options, then you can purchase a shipping label. Attach that on top of the shipping label of your original parcel and bring the parcel to a Post Office, Post Point, Parcel Point or Parcel Locker to send it back.

We understand how it could be irritating to have to show your ID card every time you receive registered mail. However, under the postal law ( see Royal Decree of 14 March 2022 – Chapter 2 Article 9. § 1 ) our delivery and counter staff have an obligation to check your identity and to take a photo of an official document confirming your identity. That is because registered mail has legal value. We therefore need to check your proof of identity to verify your identity, so we can be certain that the mail has been handed to the right person.
