Packaging tips for problem-free shipping outside the EU
For your parcel:
- Use a strong box made from corrugated cardboard. If you are sending multiple items at once, wrap them separately and include dividers to prevent damage. Fill the empty spaces in your parcel with newspaper or other shock-absorbing filler material. Make sure that the contents cannot shift. There is still empty space? Choose a smaller box.
- For fragile items, choose a box with double sides.
- Use strong tape to seal your parcel in places where it might rip or open up.
For your shipping label:
- Attach the shipping label to the box firmly and visibly. Make sure that the entire label is legible.
- Are you using a used box? Check the quality of the box and remove all labels and stickers on the outside. This prevents confusion when we sort your parcel.

You can follow your shipment abroad online via Track & Trace or the My bpost app using the barcode number of your shipment. As soon as your parcel crosses the border, another foreign postal service will take care of the delivery.
If our foreign colleagues provide status notifications, you will be able to follow them in our Track & Trace or the My bpost app. You can always try to follow your shipment via the tracking tool of the foreign postal service.
