Send a postcard to Switzerland
- So that nothing goes wrong when you want to send a postcard to Switzerland, you should first make sure that the recipient's address is legible and in block capitals. There are also special address labels recommended by Swiss Post.
- So that the address of the recipient is not blurred by humidity or other influences, it is also advisable to write either just the address or the entire postcard with a waterproof pen.
- Please also note the following: Start at the address with the salutation of the recipient, ie "To Mr. / Mrs.". Below you write the first and last name of the recipient and below that the street and city with zip code. Mark the postcode with Ch- for Switzerland (Ch- xxxxx).
- It is also important that you write "Switzerland" under the address to identify the country.
Franking the postcard correctly so that nothing goes wrong
- In order for the postcard to arrive successfully, you need a stamp worth 65 cents. There are two options: Either you buy them at a postage stamp machine, which is located in front of every post office, or you can buy them directly at the post office counter. This has the advantage that the stamps often have a nice motif and look more attractive.
- When you have decided on one option, all you have to do is stick the stamp in the top right corner of the postcard and nothing can go wrong with the postcard.
