Who receives parcels in Switzerland
Staff of international organisations in Geneva, bank and pharma specialists in Zurich and Basel, and students at private schools and universities live in Switzerland. From Russia they receive documents, medicines, books, gifts and children’s things.
JetJoin helps you find someone travelling from Russia to Switzerland who is willing to take a small parcel. You agree with them directly.
Route and meeting
Travelers fly to Switzerland with transfers and land in Zurich or Geneva. Geneva Airport sits on the border with France — check where the traveler goes through border control.
Swiss trains are fast, so a recipient in Bern or Basel can easily come to Zurich for the meeting.
Swiss customs
Switzerland is not part of the EU customs union and applies its own rules: purchases and gifts have a value limit, and meat, alcohol and tobacco are limited by allowances. Medicines are for personal use only.
Switzerland has joined the EU sanctions, so the import of certain goods of Russian origin is restricted. Send documents, books, clothes and inexpensive gifts.
How to prepare the parcel
Describe the contents and upload photos and videos of the items and packaging to JetJoin. State the value of gifts.
Don’t hand over closed boxes or cash.
Price and payment
You offer a reward, and the traveler agrees or names their own amount. JetJoin’s sender fee is 15%.
All users go through an identity check. The traveler photographs the parcel when taking it and enters the confirmation code when handing it to the recipient in Switzerland — only then is the payment charged.
