1. How is my parcel delivered by Colis Privé?

1.1. Our delivery hours

All our deliveries are made from Monday to Saturday between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m. in Belgium and Luxembourg.

1.2. How do I track my parcel?

  • As soon as Colis Privé takes charge of your parcel, you can track it at any time via our website. To do this, enter your parcel number and postcode.
 
  • If Colis Privé has not yet taken charge of your parcel (Status: Parcel awaited by Colis Privé), it can be tracked through the e-tailer with whom you placed the order.

1.3. Where can I find my parcel number?

In order to track your parcel during the various stages of its delivery, you are asked to provide your parcel number. It is a unique identifier for all types of carriers as well as for you and your e-tailer. You will find it in various places, including on:  
  • the notifications that we may send you
  • the delivery notice that our delivery driver has left in your letterbox
  • the tracking link that may have been provided by your e-tailer

1.4. Will I receive notifications from Colis Privé about my delivery?

Depending on the options and choices madeby you or your e-tailer, Colis Privé will keep you informed about the delivery status of your parcel by email or text message. You have provided your email address and your phone number, but you have not received any notifications?

  • The contact details provided by your e-tailer are incomplete or incorrect. You can consult the parcel tracking tool on www.colisprive.be.
 
  • Your e-tailer may have opted to notify you themselves of the progress of your delivery. Contact them to ask for more details.
 
  • Our notifications may have ended up in your junk folder. Check your mailbox and if need be, approve Colis Privé as a contact in order to receive future notifications.

2. How is my parcel delivered to my home?

2.1. Do I have to be present in person to receive my parcel?

If your parcel does not require a signature there are several possibilities:  
  • Your parcel fits in the letterbox: our delivery people can put your parcel directly in your letterbox if it fits completely. Your parcel will be waiting for you when you return home.
 
  • Your parcel does not fit in the letterbox and you are at home: our delivery driver hands you the parcel in person.
 
  • Your parcel does not fit in the letterbox and you are out when it arrives:
      • Our delivery driver contacts you by phone to agree a secure place for the delivery.
      • If you cannot be reached by phone, our delivery driver tries to deliver your parcel to a neighbour or to the caretaker if you live in an apartment building. The driver then leaves you a delivery notice with all the information you need to collect your parcel.
      • You cannot be reached and no-one is available to take receipt of your parcel for you: our delivery driver leaves you a delivery notice with all the information you need to collect your parcel.
     
If your parcel requires a signature:  
  • You are at home:
    • Your parcel is delivered to you in person
  • You are out:
    • Our delivery driver leaves you a delivery notice with all the information you need to collect your parcel.

2.2. Colis Privé is asking me for additional information

This is because the delivery driver needs more information to access your address. It may be:

  • that there is an error in your address details
  • that the data provided by your e-tailer are incomplete or create confusion
  • that the GPS system cannot find your address.

By clicking on the link in the notification or using the parcel tracking tool, by clicking on the “Agree a delivery date” button, you can provide the delivery driver with the information needed for the delivery. Please check your address and complete it, or even add practical details (description, directions, etc.). You can also choose delivery to a pickup point.

2.3. According to Colis Privé my address is inaccessible

The delivery driver tried to deliver your parcel but was unable to get to your address:

  • your address seems to be incomplete or incorrect
  • works or activities (events, street parties, fairs, markets, demonstrations, etc.) prevented the delivery driver from reaching your home
  • unforeseen circumstances prevented the delivery of your parcel (bad weather, force majeure, accident).

In these cases, you will not receive a delivery notice in your letterbox. You will, however, receive a notification by email or by text offering you the option of rescheduling your delivery at home or at a pickup point, depending on the options offered by your e-tailer.

2.4. I have received a delivery notice in my letterbox.

Were you unavailable when we tried to deliver your parcel and did you receive a delivery notice in your letterbox or a first delivery notification by email? You have several options:
 
  • The delivery driver ticked the box “Your parcel will be left at a pickup point”:
    • You do not need to take any action yet. You will receive a notification by email or text with the availability date of your parcel and the address of the pickup point.
 
  • The delivery driver ticked the box “Your parcel has been left with your neighbour”:
    • You will find the name and house number of the neighbour to whom your parcel has been delivered on the delivery notice.
    • You will also find this information on the parcel tracking tool.
 
  • The delivery driver ticked the box ‘We have your parcel’:
    • Your e-tailer has opted to try and deliver your parcel a second time. Go to parcel tracking and choose another delivery date using the rescheduling button.
    • Rescheduling offers the following options:
        • Home delivery
        • Pickup point delivery
        • Delivery to another address with the same postcode
       
    • PLEASE NOTE! If you do not select a second delivery option within 10 days, your parcel will automatically be returned to the sender.

2.5. My parcel is declared as having been delivered even though I haven't received it.

Colis Privé offers several delivery possibilities:

    • Delivery directly to your letterbox
    • Personal delivery
    • Delivery to a neighbour or a caretaker
    • Delivery to a secure place (with the prior agreement of the delivery driver only)

2.6. My parcel is late

Your e-tailer has given you a delivery date and this has passed. You can use the parcel tracking tool to find out what stage the delivery of your parcel has reached. It may be that:

  • Colis Privé has not yet taken charge of your parcel (Status: parcel awaited by Colis Privé). In this case:
    • your e-tailer still has your parcel. Contact them for more information.
    • your parcel is going through international transport. Contact your e-tailer for more information.

3. How is my parcel delivered to a pickup point?

3.1. My parcel has been delivered to a pickup point even though I opted for home delivery.

There are two possible scenarios:
    • We tried to make a first home delivery but this was unsuccessful.
    • The delivery address is incomplete or inaccessible.
Your e-tailer has not agreed a second delivery attempt with us. This is why we delivered your parcel directly to a pickup point after the first attempt. As soon as your parcel is available, you will receive a notification with all the details you need to collect it.
PLEASE NOTE! Don’t go along too soon. Wait until you have received confirmation of delivery at the pickup point.

3.2. How do you choose a pickup point?

  • Your e-tailer has not agreed a second delivery attempt with us. Your parcel will automatically be left at the nearest pickup point.
 
  • Your e-tailer offers you a second delivery attempt:
    • Once you have received a delivery notice, you can choose one of the available pickup points in our network. To do this, go to the Colis Privé website, select the ‘Reschedule my delivery’ button and choose the available pickup point that suits you best. You will also find all the information about the pickup points (address, opening hours, location, etc.).
    • If the pickup point you have chosen is closed, your parcel will be delivered to the nearest pickup point.
 

3.3. The pickup point does not have my parcel

  • You have received a notification giving the date on which your parcel will be available and the address of the pickup point:
    • Please wait until you have received a delivery confirmation. There may have been a delay in leaving your parcel at the pickup point.
 
  • You have received confirmation of delivery / receipt of your parcel at the pickup point:
    • You did not collect your parcel in time (you have 8 days). Consequently, your parcel has been returned to the sender. Please contact your e-tailer.
    • The pickup point cannot find your parcel:
      • If you have received confirmation of receipt of your parcel at the pickup point, your parcel is being handled by Mondial Relay, a Colis Privé partner. Please contact Customer Services at Mondial Relay directly to process your request. You can do so via the email address suividecolis@mondialrelay.fr or by calling +32 23 40 06 10 (local call rates).
