You can choose from the following parcel delivery options: In a safe place around your home At a neighbour At a Pick-up point Straight to a Parcel Locker. (The postman will not try to deliver to your home first.) You can set your delivery preferences for all your bpost parcels or just for individual parcels.

You have various options: Have the parcel delivered to another address in your neighbourhood Postpone delivery by one working day I have not yet set any delivery preferences If you haven’t yet set your delivery preferences, we will generally try to leave your parcel at a neighbour or in a safe place by your home. If we cannot do this, we’ll let you know where you can pick up your parcel: Digitally in the My bpost app or in Track & Trace , if we know your email address. By means of a failed delivery notification if we cannot reach you digitally. In this case your parcel will not be available immediately. You or someone else can pick up your parcel within 14 calendar days. I have set delivery preferences In this case your parcel will be delivered in accordance with your preferences.

Most senders have fixed agreements with bpost for lost parcels. Only the sender can file a complaint for a lost parcel because the sender pays bpost for the shipment. He needs to meet certain deadlines for this, but in the meantime he can decide, in consultation with you, to send the parcel again or to refund you. Your parcel has already been delivered on our Track & Trace, but you haven't received it? Then check the following possibilities before contacting the sender: Ask if someone else (your neighbour or co-inhabitant) has received your parcel. The postman may have placed it into the letterbox if it is a small parcel. Your parcel may have been delivered according to your delivery preferences (immediately at a Pick-up point, at your safe place, to your neighbour). Make sure that you have not received an attempted delivery notice from the postman in your letterbox. This will tell you where your parcel is. It is possible that the sender asks you to confirm that you did not receive the parcel by e-mail or signed document when the parcel was sent with guarantee.

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.
The person you send your registered mail item to cannot see who the sender is before delivery. The addressee can see in Track & Trace and the My bpost app that registered mail is on the way as soon as the mail item enters our network. But the addressee will not see who the sender is until it is delivered.
Upon arrival in Belgium, the value of the contents of your shipment must be known. This value is determined based on the invoice. Without this information, the required VAT and customs duties cannot be calculated and the shipment cannot be delivered. You will be asked to provide an invoice via Track & Trace. If your shipment is a gift and the value cannot be determined, you must be able to prove that it is a shipment between two private individuals (without the intervention of a sales platform like eBay). An estimate of the value of the goods is also required. Proof by email or a signed document is sufficient. If you do not provide the requested information within the requested period, the shipment cannot be delivered and it will be returned to the sender.

FAQResidential
If your shipment has the status "On the way to Belgium", it has not arrived in Belgium yet. The delivery periods of a foreign shipment to Belgium vary from country to country. You can find out how long it takes on average for your parcel to arrive in Belgium via Track & Trace. This period is based on previous shipments coming from this country.
, My parcel comes from inside the European Union
, here is no default import procedure. If it wants to, customs can check shipments from inside the European Union.
, My parcel comes from outside the European Union (+United Kingdom)
, 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). The sooner you do this, the sooner your shipment will be released. 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. This period depends on any additional inspections by government agencies (e.g. for plants or food). If your shipment is not cleared, you will be notified (e.g. a permit is missing or the contents of your shipment are subject to import restrictions). The import procedure is completed once customs has released your shipment. Your shipment is then handed over to bpost, and you will receive it a few days later.
