Question 2

Why wasn't my parcel delivered to a neighbour?

Accepted Answer

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&nbsp;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.

Question 3

What is a secure delivery?

Accepted Answer

A secure delivery ensures that only you, or someone you designate, is able to receive your parcel. Your parcel will only be handed over if your personal secure delivery code is shown.You receive this code by email and it is also displayed in the My bpost app. You show it to the person who delivers your parcel or the person at the Pick-up point.The shipper, such as a webshop, selects a secure delivery if it needs to be sure that the right person takes receipt of the parcel. Unfortunately, due to the extra security requirements, we cannot always comply with your delivery preferences.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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 &amp; 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.

Question 5

Where can I find my secure delivery code?

Accepted Answer

Your code will be quoted in the bpost status emails sent to the address you used to make your online purchase. If you use the same email address for the My bpost app, you will also find the code there.The code consists of 6 digits and a QR code. To receive your parcel, you can have the QR code scanned or show the 6 digits.

Question 6

What if I’m not home for a secure delivery?

Accepted Answer

If you’re not home for a secure delivery your parcel will be dropped off at a Pick-up point close to you. You or someone else with your secure delivery code will be able to pick it up within 15 days. Unfortunately, due to the secure nature of these deliveries, we cannot always comply with your delivery preferences (such as leaving it with a neighbour).

Question 7

Can someone else receive my secure delivery?

Accepted Answer

Anyone you share your secure delivery code with can take receipt of and pick up your parcel. Unfortunately, due to the secure nature of these deliveries, we cannot always comply with your delivery preferences. So we cannot leave it with a neighbour, in a safe place or in a Parcel Locker.
