Why was I not notified of my incoming registered mail?
FAQ
Residential
Incoming registered mail is scanned to check that the name on the envelope is the same as the name in your account. You will receive notification of incoming registered mail in the following situations: If you have a My bpost app account If you have a MyPreferences account If you have been to a Post Office or Post Point to request delivery of registered mail straight to your letterbox We won’t be able to send a notification if the name on the envelope is not exactly the same as the name in your account. To avoid this, add all possible versions of your name in your account (for example Alexandre Jansen, Alex Jansen, and A. Jansen). You may also want to check that you haven’t turned off registered mail notifications. It’s easy to turn these notifications back on in the My bpost app.

Why wasn't my parcel delivered to a neighbour?
FAQ
Residential
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 .
