What this status means
Bpost has the parcel at its local delivery office. The postman is getting it ready to go out on a delivery round. The parcel is no longer in a distant hub or in customs. It is close to your address, and "prepared" here means sorted and loaded for the route, not packed by the seller.
Is my package delayed?
No. This message by itself is normal and is a good sign. It usually follows customs clearance or a handover from another postal operator. The message sometimes appears more than once, and a repeat does not mean a problem on its own.
What happens next
Most often, in about two fifths of cases, the next update is "Item delivered". Sometimes the parcel gets another checkpoint scan or the same message again, which can mean it was carried over to a later round. In a small share of cases the postman cannot hand it over, and the update says the delivery was presented without success and the addressee is informed. A notice is then left with instructions.
What you can do
- Wait and keep checking the tracking history, and make sure someone can receive the parcel.
- Check that your address, name and any doorbell label are correct and easy to read.
- If a failed-delivery notice arrives, follow its instructions for redelivery or pickup.
- If the status stays the same for longer than usual, contact Bpost, or the seller if they shipped it, with your tracking number and order details.
