Price benefits, discounts and rebates
Benefit from special conditions under certain circumstances
Price reductions and discounts for letters
As a business customer, correctly prepared letter volumes will see you benefit from price reductions and discounts. This is your reward for supporting efficient processing. The amount deducted depends on annual turnover, mailing criteria and upstream services provided when delivering the letter.
In order to be able to benefit from discounts, rebates and special conditions, you must have a billing relationship with Swiss Post.
From an annual turnover of CHF 100,000.00 (excluding VAT), Swiss Post offers individual conditions that are contractually agreed. The agreement on individual conditions is bound to certain preconditions. These primarily relate to the franking type, the posting and the sender information.

If you send a separate brochure in addition to the sample, you will receive the additional discount for both orders.
This discount is in addition to the sales discount and depends on the consignment volume per order:

Discount eligibility
The agreed conditions apply to the customer who acts as sender (actual ordering party) and is visible as such on the consignment (name and/or logo). The sender details on the consignment must match those on the delivery note. Registered company trademarks belonging to the sender may be included in the calculation of turnover. It is not possible to consolidate brands of different companies and companies with their own legal personality.
Group and holding discounts will not be granted. In particular, the addition of volumes from third parties or various companies and societies with their own legal personality is excluded.
