Swiss Post is the Switzerland's national postal operator, providing shipping services both domestically and internationally. In addition to standard deliveries, it also handles package deliveries. As part of the EMS cooperative, Swiss Post is an official operator for the delivery of EMS shipments.
As a member of the Universal Postal Union, Swiss Post carries out its work in accordance with the rules of the Universal Postal Convention, which regulates the international exchange of mail between members. An important point of this regulation is the prohibition of transporting certain materials; Swiss Post has no right to make such shipments. These include explosive, flammable or radioactive substances, as well as other dangerous contents, counterfeit and pirated products, products of an obscene or immoral nature, etc.
What are Swiss Post tracking numbers like?
Letters and parcels are sent with a Swiss Post tracking number, which can be used to track the movement of the package. The sender may not register small packages and letters, in which case they will not have a tracking number.
The international postal identifier consists of an alphanumeric sequence:
RA123456785CH: small packages from Switzerland weighing up to 2 kg always start with the letter R, from the word Registered;
CD123456785CH: the tracking number for Swiss Post shipments weighing up to 20 kg always starts with the letter C;
EE123456785CH: EMS express deliveries start with the letter E.
A 13-character tracking number encodes: The type of shipment in the first letter, and the second part with all digits guarantees a uniqueness. The last two letters refer to the country of the postal service; e.g. CN for China Post, US for United States Postal Service, etc.
Tracking of Swiss Post postal packages
The longest pause in tracking shipments from Switzerland occurs between export and import. Without worrying, you can get an idea of where your package is at a certain point by tracking the Swiss Post shipment on the Postal Ninja website with translation of all tracking statuses.
The sender can obtain the tracking number for a Swiss Post shipment by registering it at the post office. You can also register a shipment remotely. Remember, however, that electronic registration does not guarantee that the sender has actually sent the item. In the former case, the physical delivery of the item is immediate, so the tracking information is very quickly added into the tracking system and the recipient can immediately verify the start of the international postal shipment.
