Frequently asked questions
Key information:
- WebStamps that have already been created may still be used in 2022, provided the shortfall in value is covered by franking with a stamp or at the counter (a branch or a branch with partner). Supplementary stamps worth 5, 10 and 20 centimes can be ordered at www.postshop.ch and in branches from 13 December 2021. They will be delivered in the Postshop from 27 December 2021. The stamps will be available physically in all branches and branches with partners from 20 December 2021.
- Swiss Post cannot currently provide franking for the value of the 2022 prices for legal and technical reasons. For WebStamp, the prices are always tied to the currently valid products (e.g. A Mail standard letter up to 100 grams for CHF 1.00).
- With this in mind, we recommend postponing larger WebStamp orders (e. g. WebStamp as a gift) until 2022 if possible.
Can several WebStamps be affixed to a consignment to cover the franking shortfall (e. g. 2 x CHF 0.85)?
No, unfortunately that is not possible as only one WebStamp per consignment can be recognized electronically at our letter centers. If several WebStamps are affixed to a consignment, these will be rejected by the system and checked manually, which can lead to delays in delivery.
Is it possible to purchase only the difference of CHF 0.05 or CHF 0.10 as franking in WebStamp?
No − unfortunately, that is not possible, as WebStamp offers franking only for our official letter products. It is not currently possible to frank a letter with only CHF 0.05. Only the relevant amount per letter product (e.g. CHF 1.00 for an A Mail standard letter) is available in WebStamp.
From 1 January 2022, can WebStamps with the old face value be used for posting and the franking shortfall made up at the counter?
Yes, WebStamps with the old face value can have missing franking added using postage stamps or V-MaX and can then be posted.

Can I attach a stamp (supplementary stamp) to an envelope myself that has already been franked with WebStamp (old face value) and post it in a letter box?
Yes, you can use stamps (e.g. stamp worth CHF 0.10) to frank a consignment franked with WebStamp yourself and post it in a letter box. If you don’t have the right postage stamp values at home, you can have the shortfall in franking added to your consignment at the counter. It is not possible to add missing franking to consignments via the “WebStamp” online service.
How long are the WebStamps created (e.g. CHF 1.00) valid for? According to WebStamp product management, they can still be used after a year, provided no price increases have taken place.
The expiry period of one year is to avoid too large a number of WebStamps being created and stored, because franking shortfalls can only be covered using postage stamps or V-MaX in the event of a price increase.
Is it true that expired WebStamps cannot actually be posted in a letter box?
You can use stamps (e.g. stamp worth CHF 0.10) to frank a consignment franked with WebStamps yourself and post it in a letter box.
If I no longer use WebStamps that have already been created or I would like to create new WebStamps with a different face value, will the WebStamps already created be reimbursed?
WebStamp product management assesses such specific customer requests and passes cases where a refund is approved onto Finance. These are exceptional cases. In justified cases, Swiss Post tries to address customer concerns despite the fact that they are essentially excluded in the GTC.
If a customer continues using WebStamps with insufficient franking in 2022 (e.g. CHF 1.00) who is the price difference charged to (the recipient, the sender on the envelope or the WebStamp customer whose name is on the franking licence in the data matrix code)?
Irrespective of the upcoming price adjustment, the following principle applies in the case of insufficient franking:
- If a sender’s name is on the letter, they must pay the price difference.
- If the letter does not contain the sender’s name, the recipient must cover the franking shortfall.
- The franking licence in the data matrix code only applies to undeliverable items where the letter does not contain a sender. The consignment is then returned to the franking licence holder.
This information comes from revenue protection and always applies irrespective of the type of franking.
