What people send from Switzerland
From Switzerland to Russia people send chocolate, gifts, books, medicines and vitamins for personal use, and documents. Russian speakers in Switzerland go home for holidays — JetJoin helps you find a traveler.
The platform connects the sender with a traveler and protects the payment rather than carrying parcels itself.
Watches, jewellery and sanctions
Switzerland is the land of watches and jewellery, and these are what people most often want to send as gifts. But Switzerland applies sanctions restrictions similar to the EU’s: exporting luxury goods above a set value threshold to Russia is banned, as are many categories of equipment.
It is safe to send chocolate, personal items, documents and inexpensive gifts.
Route and meeting
Travelers go from Switzerland to Russia with transfers. It is convenient to hand over in Zurich or Geneva — at a station or on the way to the airport.
In Russia, the recipient meets the traveler in the arrival city.
Preparing the parcel
Upload photos and videos of the contents and packaging to JetJoin and list the items with their approximate value. In summer, chocolate is best carried in cabin baggage.
Don’t hand over items the traveler doesn’t know about.
Price and payment
You propose the reward, and the traveler agrees or names another amount. JetJoin’s sender fee is 15%.
The traveler photographs the parcel when taking it and enters the confirmation code when handing it to the recipient in Russia — only then is the payment charged.
