Yes. With a form of identification and a notarized authorization, you can issue a forwarding or retention order for a third party at any branch counter.

Unfortunately, Swiss Post does not deliver SameDay afternoon and SameDay evening consignments to PickPost points.

Mail items with your old address are first sent to the corresponding branch postdelivery office. Based on your order, they will then be forwarded to the new address. Swiss Post requires one working day for forwarding this mail.

Orders must be made by 11 p.m. at the latest to guarantee execution of the order the following day. Please note that orders not placed at least four working days (Monday to Saturday) before the initial day of retention are deemed to be express orders that are subject to a surcharge.

If you do not yet have a login for swisspost.ch with letter verification, please note that orders require at least four days’ prior notice.
