Oversized, unpackaged consignments
Coronavirus crisis: changes to the maximum sizes of bulky goods
Our employees’ health and well-being is of paramount importance for us to be able to continue fulfilling our service obligations. In order to comply with the social distancing regulations issued by the Federal Council and to ensure that a single Swiss Post employee can handle bulky goods, we are reducing their maximum dimensions.
New maximum dimensions
The maximum length of the individual sides is 150cm / 80cm / 60cm. For the combination of the sides a maximum girth of 350 cm (2 × height + 2 × width + 1 × longest side), weight limit: 30 kg.
You can use our goods channel for your bulky goods, as long as you deliver your goods to us on pallets.
