FAQResidential
How does MyStamp work?
, Step 1: Choose your photo
, Select a photo from your computer, tablet, smartphone, Picasa, Flickr or Facebook. It can be horizontal or vertical. You can edit your photo in the tool; for example you can zoom in or add some text.

, Step 2: Make your choice
, Choose your stamp: Priority stamp, Non-Priority stamp (1 for standardised mail in Belgium and 2 for non-standardised mail up to 100 g), a Europe or World stamp. Choose the number of stamp sheets.
, Step 3: Enter your details
, Enter your promotional code then choose whether you want to log in or continue without an account.
, Step 4: Pay for your order
, Pay for your personalised stamps with Maestro, Visa, MasterCard or home banking.
When importing goods from outside the EU, you pay import costs (VAT, import duties and administrative costs) on all shipments. If your parcel is subsequently retained by customs due to import restrictions, you will not be able to recover the import costs. If there are problems with the delivery (loss, damage or address not found) after clearance, you cannot recover these costs. If your shipment is lost or damaged during the import procedure, please contact the sender. The sender can launch an investigation. If bpost is at fault, you will be compensated up to the amount of the customs formalities in case of a tracked shipment.
, Tips
, : if you buy something outside the EU, choose: a tracked shipment: that way you can follow your shipment online a registered online shop (Import One-Stop Shop or IOSS). They will ask you to pay the VAT in advance. This limits the costs and risks (import costs are not refunded in case of loss or damage) and shortens the delivery period.
I was not home when the postman passed by. Where is my parcel now? What happens to your parcel depends on your delivery preferences. You can specify delivery preferences in MyPreferences or the My bpost app .
, I have already specified my delivery preferences
, If you are not home at the time of delivery, we will deliver your parcel according to your delivery preferences: to a neighbour, a safe place or a Pick-up Point.
, I have not specified my delivery preferences
, In that case, the postman will generally try to deliver your parcel to a neighbour or in a safe place. If that doesn’t work, you will receive a failed delivery notice in your letterbox. You or someone else can pick up the parcel at the Pick-up Point mentioned on the notice within 14 calendar days. Take into account that the Pick-up Point can still change. As soon as your parcel is at a Pick-up Point, the status of your shipment is adjusted on Track & Trace and you receive an email. Be sure to check the status of your parcel before going to the Pick-up Point.
The original sender of your parcel determines whether you must be able to present a proof of shipment to get the money from your purchase back. The barcode on the label is scanned in the Post Office or Post Point to send the parcel, or the postman taking your parcel scans the label for shipment. The original sender sees when the parcel is scanned in our Track & Trace tool. You can always take a screenshot of the Track & Trace tool or the My bpost app and e-mail it as proof. If you purchase a shipping label in a Post Office or Post Point, then you can request a Shipping Receipt and mail a copy to the original sender. You can request a confirmation of receipt via text message or e-mail either online or in your Post Office or Post Point with the 'confirmation of receipt' option. As soon as your return shipment is delivered or picked up at a Pick-up point, you will receive an e-mail or text message. If none of this is sufficient for the sender as proof, please contact our customer service.
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.
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.
