Fast delivery in Switzerland, naturally
Want to quickly order a camera in the morning for a party the same evening? Or a step counter for a hike the next day? Since summer 2019, SameDay delivery by Swiss Post and its subsidiary notime has made it possible for online retailer microspot.ch to offer this service to its customers. If you are in one of 11 Swiss cities and towns – notime now also operates in Fribourg, Bienne and Olten – and order one of around 20,000 so-called “speed” items by 12 noon, you will receive your delivery on the same day. notime’s drivers transport the parcels over the last mile with small, CO2-neutral electric vehicles. Items ordered by midnight are delivered by PostLogistics on its parcel rounds throughout Switzerland the following day. This includes Saturdays, which is particularly convenient for working people.
Pilot projects in Zurich
Since summer 2019, pilot projects with Zalando to test self-determined delivery have been under way in Zurich. Recipients either choose a specific time window or use the “Click & Deliver” option to have the parcel delivered within the next 90 minutes. Swiss Post is also in ongoing discussions with other business customers to jointly develop logistics solutions that best meet customers’ requirements, while also looking to the future.
