Swiss public holidays to be aware of
While our international Couriers will always aim to get your parcel to its destination on time, delivery times may be increased if your parcel arrives in Switzerland on any of the following public holidays:
- New Year’s Day: 01/01/2024
- Ascension Day: 18/05/2024
- National Day: 01/08/2024

It’s also important to be aware that many of Switzerland’s various states have their own regional holidays as well, meaning your parcel could take slightly longer to deliver if it arrives on any of those days.
