Swiss Post extends international express drop-off points to 65 rail stations
Swiss Post yesterday announced it was widening its international express services to provide drop-off points for urgent documents and packages at the luggage counters of 65 CFF rail stations in the country.
International shipments will be collected by TNT Swiss Post to be transported through its URGENT channel to over 200 countries. Swiss Post’s PickPost service, for picking up parcels, has already been available in offices at 44 CFF stations and will also be expanded to the luggage counters.
The luggage counters began handling international express deliveries this week and are open to drop-off during their normal opening hours, including weekends and holidays.
Deliveries to European destinations are normally concluded next working day, the group said, and can be followed using its track-and-trace system. The counters will hand documents weighing up to 5kg and parcels up to 10kg for worldwide distribution.
Registered PickPost users can now opt to collect their packages at any of 300 pick-up points – CFF luggage counters and petrol stations as well as PickPost offices – throughout Switzerland once informed of their readiness by SMS or e-mail, rather than wait for delivery at home or in the office.
