For parcels forwarded to another address at the request of the recipient, the recipient must pay a flat fee of CHF 8.00 (incl. VAT), regardless of the weight of the parcel. If the recipient returns the parcel to you after receiving it, this is deemed a reconsignment, and the corresponding parcel price must be paid. Notified parcels and express items that cannot be delivered or remain uncollected will be subject to tax and returned to the sender via the PostPac Economy or Bulky goods Economy service, depending on the format (for return shipments, a surcharge of CHF 0.50 incl. VAT is levied). The corresponding price is charged to the recipient for any forward shipments and to the original sender for any returns.
