When will my registered mail be delivered?
FAQResidential
Registered mail is delivered to addresses in Belgium the next working day. You can track your registered mail in the My bpost app or in Track & Trace . If the addressee has a bpost account and we know their email address, we’ll send them a heads-up of the incoming registered mail by email and in the app. We don’t state the sender’s name for privacy reasons.
If you want to reclaim your VAT, you need to enter your VAT number in Track & Trace or the My bpost app before paying the import costs. If you do not do this, or only after making payment, you cannot reclaim your VAT. Don't forget to submit your invoice with this VAT number when you file your tax declaration.

If Track & Trace indicates that bpost has received your shipment, you will receive it within a maximum of 5 working days. If the shipment has not arrived after 10 working days, you can file a complaint with the sender. The sender can decide whether to refund the purchase (partially) or reship your order.
