Why was my parcel not delivered according to my preference?
FAQ
Residential
There are several reasons why your parcel was not delivered according to your preference.
, Your profile is not yet complete.
, Your delivery preferences are linked to the email address you entered in your ‘MyPreferences’ account or the My bpost app. Perhaps the parcel was ordered with a different email address than the one entered in MyPreferences.
, Tip:
, Check your profile in MyPreferences A green “V” appears next to your address if your account is validated (10 days after creation). Make sure your address is correct. Add the names you use to order parcels. Add all email addresses you use to order parcels.
, No email address received from sender
, It is also possible that the sender did not provide us with your email address. Unless you have not agreed to this, we will link your delivery preference to the name or address on your parcel (as of 10 days after the account was created). They must be identical to your name and the address in your account.
, The type of parcel prevented us from delivering according to your delivery preference
, Delivery to your safe place and your neighbour is not possible for: Parcels with payment upon delivery (e.g. a number plate). Parcels you can only receive after showing your secure delivery code. Parcels sent as registered mail. We can only deliver these on presentation of your ID card. You can recognise such parcels by the barcode that starts with an ‘R’. Parcels sent under guarantee or with insurance cannot be delivered to a safe place. Delivery to a Parcel Locker is not possible: If the parcel is too large or too heavy. In that case, it will be sent to a different Pick-up Point. For parcels you can only receive after showing your secure delivery code. Your parcel fits in your letterbox: The postman always tries to deliver your parcel into your letterbox first, even in the case of direct delivery to a Pick-up Point.
, Tip:
, Check Track & Trace to see if the delivery preferences apply to your parcel.
, The postman could not perform the delivery preference
, Your safe place was not safe enough, not accessible and/or not dry enough. The postman was unable to deliver your parcel to a neighbour because they were not at home or refused to accept it. Your Pick-up Point or Parcel Locker was temporarily unavailable when we delivered your parcel. For example, because the Parcel Locker was full or the Post Point was closed for annual leave.
, Tip
, : have you noticed this happening on a regular basis? Then modify your delivery preferences. If you think there is another reason, you can report it via our online form .

FAQ

You can
, follow your parcel online
, with: Track & Trace the My bpost app If you have a bpost account , you can also follow your parcel in the bpost shipping tool. You'll need the barcode number of your parcel. Those details are on your shipping label or you received them via text message or e-mail; they are also on the shipping receipt or Post Office receipt.
, Please note:
, If your barcode starts with the
, letter ‘U’
, , you cannot track your shipment. This barcode is only used to facilitate the import procedure and present the shipment to Belgian customs. After the shipment is released, it will be handed over to bpost without further tracking.
, My parcel comes from inside the European Union
, There is no default import procedure. If it wants to, customs can check shipments from inside the European Union. Some regions of the EU are also subject to customs duties and VAT because they are not part of the EU customs territory, even if they belong to the geographical territory of the EU (e.g. the Canary Islands).
, My parcel comes from outside the European Union
, In this case an import procedure for your parcel will start upon its arrival in Belgium. The duration of this procedure depends on the following: Whether or not you already paid VAT on your shipment via the online shop The value of your shipment If you did not pay any VAT in advance or your shipment is worth more than €150, the bpost customs clearance service must first determine the import costs. To do this, the value of the contents of your shipment must be known (based on the invoice). If this is not provided, bpost will ask you to upload the invoice of your purchase online. You have 14 days to pay the import costs (VAT, import duties or any other customs fees and formalities). Most shipments are cleared within a week. In this phase, your goods are declared to Belgian customs. Customs has the right to check the content of your shipment. Please allow an additional 3 to 7 days for delivery in case of extra inspections.
