The aim is to simplify customs clearance, reduce transit times and provide transport companies with goods information by disclosing detailed data about the sender, recipient and consignment content. WebStamp offers the convenient option of entering the required data yourself. The necessary fields are displayed automatically once you indicate in WebStamp that you want to send a consignment containing goods abroad.

WebStamps are valid for one year. If the official period of validity has expired, however, they can still be used.

Problems arise only when prices rise. After a price increase, you will need to frank your consignments franked with WebStamp. What you can do in a Swiss Post branch or branch with partner. You cannot return or cancel stamps created with WebStamp.

Flaws

Very occasionally, an error may occur when printing a postage paid impression. If your postage paid impression is not correctly printed on your label sheet, please check the printer settings. Ensure that the “actual size” or “size = 100%” function is selected.

The repeated printing of a PDF document with personalized stamps that have already been created generates no further costs. Every stamp created with WebStamp may however only be affixed to a consignment once.

You will be notified immediately of the use of duplicates so that you can react accordingly. Duplicates are either charged directly to your online account or invoiced to you.

Duplicates

In accordance with the General Terms and Conditions for WebStamp, stamps that have been created with WebStamp may not be copied or printed multiple times. Duplicates refer to consignments handed in for sending that have the same postage paid impression (recognizable by an identical franking ID). Every stamp created with WebStamp may only be affixed to a consignment and sent once. Duplicates will be franked accordingly by Swiss Post. Furthermore, a processing fee of CHF 1.00 per duplicate will apply, with a minimum charge of CHF 10.00. An example: 80 duplicates for a standard A Mail letter cost CHF 176.00, CHF 96.00 postage (80 × CHF 1.20) for the subsequent franking plus CHF 80.00 processing fee (80 × CHF 1.00).

With “WebStamp” you simply pay the face value. Your personal stamps are used just like regular stamps.

The advantage of WebStamp is primarily the fact that you can personalize the postal prepayment impression. Several million personalized stamps sold every year underscore the fact that Swiss Post customers appreciate this personalization. They are happy to accept the slightly higher production costs. The prices of our “WebStamp” labels take account of the fact that you can obtain small quantities (60 items). Smaller volumes are generally a little more expensive – although this is not necessarily a disadvantage to you as you do not need to purchase 300 items from a different provider.

You can avoid paying any label costs if you print the postage paid impressions directly onto the envelopes.

Swiss Post is not entirely free to set its own prices. A postage price adjustment for letters, which are subject to the letter monopoly, can only be decided by the Federal Council. The same applies for the postage paid impressions created using WebStamp.
