Bpost delivers parcels to any Belgian destination on the next working day. So, choosing Landmark Global for shipments to Belgium offers you smooth and fast deliveries, making your customers happy in return.
Choose optimized delivery routes into Belgium
Through our operational partnership with Bpost, access extensive out-of-home pick-up networks and urban electric last-mile delivery options., as it progressively makes its operations as green as possible on different levels. On top of solar panels, reusable packaging and smart routing they invest in:
- Expanding alternative fleet: Over 30% of Bpost's Belgian operational fleet consists of lower-emission vehicles, including electric vans, e-bikes, and LNG transport vehicles, with an ongoing transition toward zero-tailpipe emission models by 2030.
- Zero-tailpipe emission city deliveries: Bpost operates dedicated delivery zones (Ecozones) utilizing 100% electric delivery vans and cargo bikes for urban last-mile routes. These are already in place in 14 cities and will soon be implemented in all major Belgian cities. This has a considerable impact on making that famous last mile in delivery greener.
- Delivery preference reduces overall mileage: via the MyPreferences platform, Belgian customers can collect parcels when and where it suits them best: home delivery (including drop-off at a preferred neighbour or in a safe place chosen by the customer), delivery in more than 2,900 pick-up points or in parcel lockers. By 2030 Bpost will have more than 4,000 pick-up points. This reduces the risk of parcels not being delivered because customers are not at home or have too small a mailbox, and reduces unnecessary mileage and congestion. Check our report on parcel delivery in Belgium to understand all preferences of online shoppers in Belgium.
- Easy return via swapping: when receiving a parcel at home, customers can return another parcel via the postal operator instead of having to go to a drop-off point or the post office themselves. On top of convenience, this reduces the carbon footprint.
When it comes to delivering your parcels to Belgian customers you can count on Landmark Global. Together with Bpost, we offer a smooth end-to-end solution in the most sustainable way and with the greatest flexibility and convenience for your customer.
