Sort out mail for business customers
Receive your postal items separated according to your internal receiving points

Anchor Navigation

The “Sort out mail” service enables you to define an internal group of recipients, which receives its mail in a bundle separate from the rest of your incoming mail. Another possibility is to separate internal recipients from one another so that your business mail is received already sorted according to several receiving stations.

  • Sorting out mail according to recipient group 
  • Sorting out mail according to recipients
  • Individual delivery per recipient or recipient group
  • For all traditionally-addressed letter items.

Service and features

Sorting out mail according to recipient group

You define at least one addressing feature, such as a department name, which receives a large portion of incoming mail. The correspondingly addressed mail items will be bundled together and handed over to you separately from the rest of the mail. This even more cost-effective version of the service does not allow for more precise preliminary sorting.

Example of recipient group separation

Swiss Post separates letters sent to the internal recipients “Marketing Department” and “Finance Department” and delivers them separate from the other mail.

Sorting out mail according to addressees (with separation)

You define several addressing features, such as the names of various departments and other internal receiving points. Swiss Post sorts the correspondingly-addressed items according to these criteria and hands them over to you separately. Items are separated using separator cards in mail bundles, delivery in separate containers or rubber bands.

Example of sorting out mail according to several individual recipients:

Swiss Post separates letters sent to the internal recipients “Marketing Department” and “Finance Department”, separates them from one another and delivers them separate from the other mail. You can determine as many internal reception points as you wish.
