About Bpost

Bpost is Belgium’s national postal operator and a parcel, mail and logistics carrier for domestic Belgian deliveries, cross-border postal items, ecommerce parcels and returns. In tracking, Bpost may be the origin carrier, the Belgian import or export postal operator, the customs-interface postal operator, or the last-mile delivery carrier after a foreign origin carrier hands the parcel to the Belgian postal network.

Quick Answer

To track a Bpost package, enter the tracking number from your receipt, shipping label, delivery notice, merchant email or marketplace order page on the official Bpost tracking page or on 17TRACK. If the result is empty, first check for copied spaces, wrong characters, an order number used instead of a tracking number, a label that has not yet been physically handed to Bpost, or a shipment currently moving under a partner carrier before Bpost receives it.

Pro Tip: 17TRACK is an independent tracking platform. It can help consolidate Bpost and partner-carrier events, but it cannot change an address, release customs, approve a refund, open a Bpost claim or instruct a courier.

How to Track Bpost Packages

Use official Bpost tracking for Bpost-specific delivery details and use 17TRACK when you need multi-carrier visibility, carrier auto-detection or consolidated tracking for international ecommerce orders.

Tracking path	Steps and best use
Official Bpost tracking	1. Open Bpost tracking. 2. Enter the tracking number exactly as shown. 3. Review delivery stage, pickup details or delivery options if available. Best for Belgian delivery notices, pickup-point information and Bpost-controlled events.
17TRACK tracking	1. Enter the tracking number on 17TRACK. 2. Let carrier detection identify Bpost or related carriers. 3. Compare origin, transit and last-mile events. Best for international ecommerce orders, cross-border handoffs and shipments where the merchant gave only one number.
Merchant or marketplace page	Use the order page to confirm whether the value shown is a tracking number, order number or seller reference. If the merchant has not shipped the parcel, Bpost may not have any physical item to scan.
Delivery notice or pickup message	Use the delivery notice number or parcel reference exactly as printed if the notice instructs you to collect or reschedule. Keep the notice because it can contain the pickup point, deadline and identification requirement.

A tracking number is not the same as an order number. A merchant order number identifies your purchase; a Bpost tracking number or postal barcode identifies the shipment. Remove spaces and hyphens before retrying, but keep the original number for customer-service conversations.

Tracking Number Formats and Examples

Bpost can display carrier-issued Bpost numbers, postal S10 identifiers and partner or merchant references that are linked to a Bpost shipment. A number being searchable with Bpost does not prove that Bpost issued it; international parcels often keep the origin postal number through the Belgian import or export handoff.

Tracking Number Format

Identifier family

Normalized pattern

Bpost domestic parcel barcode

Numeric or alphanumeric Bpost parcel reference; example: 32## #### #### #### ####

View all details for Bpost domestic parcel barcode

Length/structure	Usually a long barcode string printed on a Bpost label or receipt; spaces and hyphens should be removed for lookup.
Issued by	Bpost or a Bpost shipping system used by a merchant, counter or business sender.
Typical service/use	Domestic parcels, business parcels, Belgian ecommerce delivery and delivery to home, pickup point or parcel locker where available.
Who sees it and where	Senders see it on the Bpost label or receipt; recipients see it in merchant notifications, Bpost messages or delivery notices.
Tracking scope	Belgian acceptance, sorting, out-for-delivery, delivery, pickup and return events.
Important caveat	Bpost does not publish every internal barcode rule publicly, so do not infer the exact service from the first digits alone.

UPU S10 outbound from Belgium

AA ######### BE; examples: RR ### ### ### BE, CP ### ### ### BE, EE ### ### ### BE

View all details for UPU S10 outbound from Belgium

Length/structure	13 characters: two service-indicator letters, nine digits including a check digit, and the country code BE.
Issued by	Bpost when Belgium is the origin postal operator for a trackable international postal item.
Typical service/use	Registered, parcel or express-style international postal items depending on service and label type.
Who sees it and where	The sender sees it on the international label or receipt; the recipient sees it in shipping emails and destination-post tracking.
Tracking scope	Bpost export events, airline or line-haul visibility where exchanged, and destination postal scans after handoff.
Important caveat	The first two letters indicate a postal identifier family, but product availability and scan depth depend on the purchased service and destination operator.

Inbound S10 issued by origin post

AA ######### CN, AA ######### US, AA ######### GB or another origin country code

View all details for inbound S10 issued by origin post

Length/structure	13-character UPU S10 format ending in the origin postal country code.
Issued by	The origin postal operator, not Bpost, when the shipment was posted outside Belgium.
Typical service/use	Inbound international registered letters, packets and parcels that Bpost may deliver in Belgium.
Who sees it and where	Belgian recipients often see it in a marketplace email before Bpost receives the physical item.
Tracking scope	Origin-post export scans, international movement, Belgian import processing, customs-related events and Bpost last-mile scans if exchanged.
Important caveat	Bpost can sometimes track it after Belgian handoff, but Bpost did not issue a number ending in another country code.

Partner or ecommerce logistics number

Alphanumeric partner reference; example: LP #### #### #### or seller-specific reference

View all details for partner or ecommerce logistics number

Length/structure	Varies by marketplace, consolidator or fulfillment partner.
Issued by	Merchant, marketplace, consolidator or origin logistics partner.
Typical service/use	Cross-border ecommerce shipments where Bpost is one leg of the delivery chain.
Who sees it and where	Buyers see it on marketplace order pages or seller emails; Bpost may later associate it with a postal or parcel barcode.
Tracking scope	May show pre-advice before handoff; full visibility depends on whether the partner transmits data to Bpost and whether a Bpost barcode is linked.
Important caveat	Use 17TRACK carrier detection if Bpost tracking does not recognize the partner reference.

Delivery notice or pickup reference

Notice-specific reference printed or sent by Bpost

View all details for delivery notice or pickup reference

Length/structure	Varies by notice type and channel.
Issued by	Bpost when a delivery attempt, pickup instruction or collection notice is created.
Typical service/use	Pickup at a post office, pickup point or parcel locker; missed delivery handling.
Who sees it and where	Recipient sees it on a paper notice, email, app message or SMS where supported.
Tracking scope	Usually tied to delivery management rather than the original shipping contract.
Important caveat	Bring the required identification and follow the collection instruction shown by Bpost.

Tracking Statuses and Meanings

Bpost tracking events describe a shipment lifecycle, not only a location. The most important boundary is whether Bpost has physically received the parcel or only received electronic data.

The country ranges above are practical planning estimates for Bpost international parcels and postal handoffs based on common route behavior; actual delivery can be shorter or longer because of customs seasonality, partner scans, flight capacity, remote destinations and missed delivery handling. Use the Bpost page at booking time for the current official route availability and service conditions.

Common Tracking Problems and Solutions

Most Bpost tracking problems come from one of four causes: the physical parcel has not been handed over, the number belongs to a partner or seller reference, customs or delivery action is required, or the final scan does not match where the recipient expects to find the parcel.

Problem & Solution

Problem/status shown

Likely cause

Invalid number

Wrong identifier, typo, order number, missing characters or carrier mismatch.

View all details for invalid number

Check first	Remove spaces, re-copy from the label, confirm letters such as O and I, and compare the merchant page.
Immediate action	Try official Bpost tracking and 17TRACK carrier detection.
When to escalate	Escalate to the sender if the seller says the order shipped but no valid carrier number is available.
Who to contact	Sender or merchant first; Bpost only when the number is recognized by Bpost.

No tracking events

Electronic data exists but no physical scan has been exchanged.

View all details for no tracking events

Check first	Order dispatch date, seller pickup status and whether the first carrier is not Bpost.
Immediate action	Wait for the first acceptance scan after handoff.
When to escalate	Escalate when the merchant’s promised dispatch window has passed without a physical scan.
Who to contact	Merchant or sender.

Long time without update

Line-haul, customs, missed partner scan, remote routing or peak-season backlog.

View all details for long time without update

Check first	Last physical event, route type, destination country and customs status.
Immediate action	Compare official Bpost tracking with destination-carrier tracking and 17TRACK.
When to escalate	Escalate after the expected route window is clearly exceeded or when Bpost tracking asks for action.
Who to contact	Bpost if Bpost is current custodian; sender if the shipment contract or claim must be opened.

Customs hold

Import data, tax, duty, security inspection or restricted-goods review.

View all details for customs hold

Check first	Payment request, document request, declared value and recipient contact details.
Immediate action	Follow the official payment or document instruction; avoid unofficial payment links.
When to escalate	Escalate if the official page requests information you cannot provide or if the hold continues beyond normal route expectations.
Who to contact	Bpost for Belgian import handling; sender for invoice or description corrections.

Delivery failed

Recipient absent, access blocked, address unclear, unpaid customs charges or delivery-point issue.

View all details for delivery failed

Check first	Doorbell, mailbox, building code, delivery notice and pickup-point redirection.
Immediate action	Use Bpost delivery options if offered, or collect at the stated location.
When to escalate	Escalate before pickup or return deadlines expire.
Who to contact	Bpost for delivery handling; sender if the address must be changed contractually.

Delivered but not received

Safe-place delivery, neighbor/reception delivery, mailbox delivery, wrong address, premature scan or theft after delivery.

View all details for delivered but not received

Check first	Mailbox, doorstep, parcel locker, pickup point, household members, building reception, neighbors and proof of delivery.
Immediate action	Contact Bpost with the tracking number and delivery location details; notify the seller if it is an ecommerce order.
When to escalate	Escalate promptly if the parcel cannot be found after local checks.
Who to contact	Bpost for delivery investigation; merchant for replacement or refund policy.

Lost or damaged parcel

Network loss, damaged packaging, missing contents, customs inspection or delivery incident.

View all details for lost or damaged parcel

Check first	Last scan, photos of packaging, proof of value, seller invoice and service compensation conditions.
Immediate action	Keep the packaging and contents; ask the sender to start the appropriate inquiry or claim when required by the contract.
When to escalate	Escalate once the official investigation or claim window for the service applies.
Who to contact	Sender or merchant for commercial refund; Bpost for shipment inquiry where eligible.

Return to sender started

Not collected, refused, address problem, customs non-payment or import restriction.

View all details for return to sender started

Check first	Reason shown in Bpost tracking and whether the return has already departed.
Immediate action	Contact the sender immediately to decide reshipment or refund.
When to escalate	Escalate before the parcel leaves the pickup or delivery unit if the official page still offers an action.
Who to contact	Sender or merchant; Bpost only for currently available delivery-management options.

International Shipping, Customs and Carrier Handoffs

For international parcels, Bpost tracking must be read as a chain of custody. Electronic pre-advice, physical handoff, customs processing and final delivery are separate events handled by different entities.

International Flow

Stage

Physical custodian/responsible entity

Label and electronic pre-advice

Sender, merchant, platform or origin carrier

View all details for label and electronic pre-advice

Normal visibility gap	Until the first physical acceptance scan.
What the customer should do	Ask the seller if the dispatch window passes without acceptance.

Bpost acceptance or origin acceptance

Bpost for Belgium-origin items or the origin postal operator for foreign-origin items

View all details for acceptance

Typical tracking event	Accepted, received or deposited.
What is happening	The carrier physically has the parcel and begins sorting.
Can the tracking number change?	Usually no for S10 postal items; partner parcels may gain an additional linked number.
Normal visibility gap	Short domestic sorting gap or longer export-processing gap.
What the customer should do	Track both Bpost and the origin/destination carrier if available.

Export processing and security

Origin carrier, export office and transport/security processes

View all details for export processing

Typical tracking event	Processed for export, dispatched or leaving origin country.
What is happening	The shipment is prepared for international transport and may undergo export controls.
Can the tracking number change?	Usually unchanged for postal S10 items.
Normal visibility gap	Several days are possible before arrival is scanned abroad.
What the customer should do	Wait through the line-haul gap unless customs or restriction events appear.

Line-haul and international transport

Airline, road carrier or logistics partner

View all details for line-haul transport

Typical tracking event	In transit or no public scan during movement.
What is happening	The parcel is moving between postal or carrier networks.

What the customer should do	Use 17TRACK to monitor both sides of the handoff.

Import customs

Customs authority and destination postal or carrier operator

View all details for import customs

Typical tracking event	Arrived in destination country, customs processing, import charges due or released.
What is happening	Authorities assess data, taxes, duties and restrictions before domestic delivery.
Can the tracking number change?	Normally the same postal number remains searchable, but local systems can show an internal reference.
Normal visibility gap	Variable; customs time is not guaranteed by Bpost tracking.
What the customer should do	Pay official charges or provide documents only through official channels.

Ecommerce and Business Tracking

Businesses should separate consumer tracking, Bpost account integrations and multi-carrier tracking. Bpost-controlled tools are best for Bpost labels and account workflows; 17TRACK is useful for carrier detection, standardized tracking visibility and multi-carrier monitoring across marketplaces and cross-border partners.

FAQ

1. How do I track my Bpost package?

Enter the tracking number on the official Bpost tracking page or track it with 17TRACK to view available Bpost and partner-carrier events.

2. Where can I find my Bpost tracking number?

You can find it on the Bpost receipt, parcel label, delivery notice, merchant shipping email or marketplace order page. Do not confuse it with a merchant order number.

3. What does a Bpost tracking number look like?

Bpost numbers can be long domestic parcel barcodes, postal S10 numbers such as AA ######### BE for Belgium-origin international items, or partner references linked to a Bpost shipment.

4. When will the first Bpost tracking event appear?

The first meaningful Bpost event usually appears after Bpost physically receives or scans the parcel. A label-created event only means shipment data exists.

5. Why is my Bpost tracking not updating?

Bpost tracking may pause during line-haul transport, customs, partner handoff, peak-season processing or delivery redirection. Check the last physical scan before deciding who to contact.

6. How long does Bpost delivery take?

Domestic Belgian parcels are often delivered within a short business-day window after acceptance, while international parcels can take from several business days in Europe to multiple weeks outside Europe depending on customs and partner delivery.

7. What should I do if Bpost delivery failed?

Follow the instruction shown in Bpost tracking, check for a pickup notice, and act before the pickup or return deadline. Contact the sender if the address must be changed.

8. What should I do if Bpost says delivered but I did not receive it?

Check the mailbox, safe place, reception, household members, neighbors, pickup point and any proof of delivery first. If the parcel is still missing, contact Bpost and notify the seller.

9. Who handles a lost or damaged Bpost parcel?

Bpost can investigate eligible shipment issues, but the sender or merchant often has to file the formal claim because that party bought the service. Keep packaging, photos and proof of value.

10. How do I contact Bpost customer service?

Use the official Bpost contact page and prepare the tracking number, addresses, shipment date, last scan and evidence. For ecommerce refunds, contact the seller or marketplace as well.

11. Can Bpost track an international number that was issued outside Belgium?

Bpost can often display events for an inbound international number after the parcel enters the Belgian postal handoff, but a number ending in another country code was issued by the origin postal operator, not by Bpost.

12. Does a customs arrival event mean Bpost will deliver today?

No. A customs arrival or import event means the parcel reached an import process; it may still need assessment, payment, document review or release before delivery routing.

13. Can the Bpost tracking number change during an international handoff?

The original postal S10 number usually remains usable, but partner or marketplace parcels can gain a linked local or Bpost reference during handoff. Track both numbers if both are shown.

14. Who is responsible during a partner handoff to Bpost?

The partner or sender remains responsible until Bpost physically receives the parcel. Electronic pre-advice alone does not prove Bpost has the item.

15. Can I change the delivery address after Bpost has the parcel?

Sometimes delivery preferences or rerouting options are available, but eligibility depends on service, sender settings and shipment stage. Address corrections are often controlled by the sender.

16. Can businesses track Bpost shipments through an API?

Businesses should use confirmed Bpost business documentation for official Bpost integrations, or use the 17TRACK API for multi-carrier tracking. A current public official Bpost tracking API endpoint is not confirmed from the provided tracking page.

Tracking API

/* 1. Bpost official tracking API
   Current public official tracking API not confirmed from the provided Bpost tracking page.
   Do not implement an endpoint, method, authentication header or response parser unless Bpost
   provides current official developer documentation or a business integration contract. */

/* 2. 17TRACK API
   Use 17TRACK for multi-carrier shipment registration and tracking.
   Bpost carrier code should be confirmed in your 17TRACK account or carrier list.
   If not confirmed, keep CARRIER_CODE as a placeholder instead of guessing. */
