Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to pick up a Swiss Post parcel marked 'Zur Abholung gemeldet'?
Swiss Post holds parcels for 7 calendar days (`Abholfrist`); with a free `Meine Sendungen` login in the Swiss Post app, you can extend the pickup deadline (`Abholfrist verlängern`) or request a second home delivery.
Why didn't the Swiss Post carrier leave a paper Abholeinladung slip in my mailbox?
If you enabled electronic collection notifications in `Meine Sendungen`, Swiss Post sends the QR code exclusively via email/SMS and inside the Post-App.
