Whilst the general Bpost strike may be over, there remains a huge backlog for postal staff to wade through.
From an impact perspective, apart from any personal mail via the Belgian postal system being delayed, this unfortunately also affects the Belgian National Numbers released by the commune. So if you are a relatively new arrival here in Belgium, please be patient; it has been suggested that clearing the backlog could take up to 6 weeks.
In addition, whilst there are no longer any strikers in Flanders, some remain in Wallonia and Brussels. Post delivery remains disrupted in Brussels, with only half of the rounds able to be completed. In Wallonia, about nine out of 10 rounds are going ahead as usual.
Reassurances have been provided by Bpost that in places with delays, priority is being given to condolence letters and vehicle number-plates.
