Swiss e-commerce delivery expectations 2026: What Swiss Online Shoppers Expect

24 December, 2025

E-Commerce

Winning in Switzerland requires one thing above all: trust. And that trust is built through delivery.

Swiss shoppers are informed, demanding, and loyal — but only when you deliver with transparency, flexibility, and local familiarity. Here’s what they expect, and how e-PAQ Select and e-PAQ Returns deliver a smarter experience.

1. Transparent Pricing, End-to-End

Swiss shoppers want to know:

  • What they’ll pay
  • When it will arrive
  • How it will be delivered

And they don’t want surprises.

With DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) via e-PAQ Select, all taxes and duties are calculated upfront and included at checkout. No customs delays. No surprise fees. No delivery rejections.

This aligns with the Smart Gate Flex approach — a smoother customer experience that increases conversion and reduces cart abandonment.

2. Delivery Models that Respect Expectations

Swiss consumers have clear preferences:

  • 77% prefer home delivery
  • 14% use pick-up points
  • 2% prefer MyPost 24 Lockers

Swiss Post ensures parcels are delivered exactly as expected — with tracking, insurance, and support. And if the order doesn’t work out, e-PAQ Returns makes returns seamless, local, and customer-friendly.

3. Speed and Visibility — With a Swiss Touch

Swiss Post is the country’s most trusted logistics provider. With e-PAQ Select, delivery is:

  • 24–48 hours after entry via Zurich or Geneva
  • Fully trackable via web and mobile
  • Managed locally, from clearance to doorstep

Through MyConsignments, Swiss customers can see delivery details, manage payments, and plan for their parcel’s arrival — all in their own language.

4. A Market That Rewards Smart Sellers

Swiss shoppers are:

  • Highly digital (94%+ internet penetration)
  • Used to shopping across borders
  • Constantly looking for better deals from Europe and beyond

That means international brands are welcome — as long as they match the standards.

With e-PAQ Select + Returns, brands offer a logistics experience that feels local but scales globally. It’s the Smart Design for Swiss expansion — and a foundation for lasting customer relationships.
