Dispatch list/delivery note
For letter mail with PP impression, we require a dispatch list or a delivery note to charge the postage costs (except in the event of cash payment at the counter). You can create this document quickly and easily with the “Letters dispatch list” online service at the Swiss Post Customer Center. Postage is billed on the monthly postal invoice via the dispatch list/delivery note.

PP impression
Mandatory elements are the “P.P.” (port payé) franking label, sender’s postcode and town, Swiss Post logo or “Post CH Ltd” designation and the frame (placed in the franking zone) and separating line with the recipient address (placed in the sender zone). You can create your PP impression simply and free of charge in our “Create postage paid impressions” online service.
