Interestingly Switzerland is neither a member of the EU or the European Economic Area and despite that fact, they're one of the most competitive and innovative countries in the world (according to the World Economic Forum and the EU.
As Switzerland aren't part of the EU, you'll need a commercial invoice to be placed on the parcel, we've created a template for your benefit which you can download here (pdf).
Also VAT (they call it TVA) is due on imported goods at the rate of 7.6%, although there are some exceptions.
For some reason you are not allowed to import radar detectors and there are some import controls on precious metals, watches and jewellery. To view the latest information we suggest you visit the Swiss Federal Customs Administration website.
At just approximately 650 miles by road from London the DHL Road Express courier service is the cheapest and, at the time of writing, costs just £14.49 for a three day service. For £3 more you could have a delivery via DHL Air Express usually within one day from collection.
We also offer a Road Express service with Parcelforce which is currently just £17.67 for delivery to Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, Bern, Lucerne, St. Gallen, Lugano, Winterthur, Thurn, Olten-Sofingen, Biel and Chur - amongst other towns and cities.
These are one of many brokers in a competitive market. Being a broker means they are not completely to blame for a lot that goes wrong with third-party carriers, but it seems to me their booking system and comms with the carriers is not good enough. They are often powerless when a problem occurs and simply refer your issue on to the carrier. The service may vary geographically but in the SW I have had plenty of failed collections with all the carriers they deal with (and they do not deal with that many compared to others), plus some delayed deliveries and some lost too. The best service is with Parcelforce (but they are the most expensive). The others e.g DPD it seems one collection request is never enough and there are failed collections every time on the first request, hence there booking system is not up to it.

Nice early pickup by a friendly gentleman. Seemed to take a while from leaving export and getting to Zurich but could have been due to weekend. Not a fault of parcel monkey. Have used several times and always happy with service.
Very competitively priced, excellent easy to use website. Tracking and insurance included. No.1 in my book.
Easy to use with clear instructions
Very good.Will use again.
A great service, however some of the couriers do fail to collect on the day booked, however this is quickly rectified, so all good.
easy website, prompt collection, very prompt delivery and cheapest by some way - whats not to like !!! Superb !
