Can I pay my import costs using another method than online?
FAQ
Residential
Import costs on shipments from outside the EU are preferably paid online via the My bpost app or via Track & Trace. If you have no experience with online payments, have someone close to you help you. If you have not paid after 14 days, our shipment will be returned to the sender. If you are unable to pay online, you can, exceptionally, make your payment at a Post Office. Your shipment will be released and sent afterwards by the customs clearance service. You will not receive it immediately.

My parcel is lost. What do I do now?
FAQ
Residential
We recommend that you contact the sender if: The status of your your parcel remains unchanged for several workdays (at least 5 workdays for shipments to a neighbouring country, at least 10 workdays for the United Kingdom and all other countries). Track & Trace mentions the status ‘delivered’ but you cannot find the parcel anywhere. The sender can work with you to see what the best solution is for your order. Most senders have permanent agreements with bpost regarding lost parcels. Only the sender can submit a complaint regarding a lost parcel because the sender pays bpost for the shipment. If you are the sender, please contact our customer service. It is best to do this via the online form at the bottom of this page. This way, you can immediately provide us with all the necessary information to start an investigation.

Please note: that is a different number than the number on the label of your original parcel. Be sure to enter the correct postcode: If there is a return label in your parcel, then the correct postcode is the postcode on the original shipping label that is attached to the parcel. If you have to create a shipping label, then the correct postcode is the postcode of the receiver of your return shipment.
In some cases, you may be asked to pay VAT and import charges again, even though you already paid them when placing your order. Some webshops collect these charges upfront. However, they must also send this information electronically for verification to customs. If the information is missing, incomplete or incorrect, customs cannot verify that the charges have already been paid. As a result, VAT and import costs may be charged again when your parcel arrives in Belgium.
