Introduction

The Post Office is a fundamental part of the process of receiving international parcels in Brazil. However, sometimes there can be problems such as delays, loss, damage or other unforeseen events that affect the delivery of items from abroad. To solve these problems and ensure that your parcels are delivered properly, it’s crucial to know how to file a complaint with the Post Office. In this guide prepared by ViajaBox, we will detail the process step by step and provide more robust examples of situations in which opening a complaint is essential.

Opening a complaint on the Post Office website for international items destined for Brazil is an important process for resolving these types of problems. Follow the steps below to open a complaint.

When to file a complaint with the Post Office

Delayed delivery

You’ve made an international purchase, the item has been sent, but weeks go by and it doesn’t arrive at its destination. Delayed delivery is a common but frustrating situation. Filing a complaint with the Post Office allows you to follow up and investigate the reason for the delay, so that delivery can be speeded up.

Lost parcel

You track your item and suddenly the status shows “lost” or “lost”. This means that the object was lost during the shipping process. Opening a complaint is vital to start an investigation and locate the package or receive compensation.

Item arrived damaged

Your package finally arrives, but when you open the box, you discover that the items are damaged due to improper handling during transportation. In this case, filing a complaint allows you to document the damage and seek a solution, such as a refund or sending a replacement.

Incorrect taxes or duties

You receive a notification that your package is in customs and you need to pay duties or taxes. However, you suspect that the charges are incorrect. Filing a complaint helps to review and dispute the charges, ensuring that you only pay the amount due.

Object detained at customs without justification

Your package has been held up at customs for a long time, without a clear explanation. Opening a complaint allows you to seek information about the reason for the withholding and, if it is unjustified, to take appropriate action.

Problems with documentation or missing documents

Sometimes problems with documentation can delay delivery. If you believe that the necessary documentation has not been provided or is incomplete, a complaint will help resolve the issue and speed up the process.
