My secure delivery code was not accepted. What should I do?
FAQ

If your code isn’t accepted, you may have mixed it up with another parcel you are expecting. In that case, the other parcel should have been left at a pick-up point close to you. Your parcel will also be dropped off at a pick-up point if there’s a technical issue at the time of delivery. Check your email, Track & Trace and the My bpost app to know where it’s been taken. If you’re sure the code was right, contact our customer service to sort it out.
