Swiss public holidays to be aware of
While our international Courier service always aims to get your parcel to its destination on time, delivery times may be increased if your parcel is due to arrive in Switzerland around any of the following public holidays:
- New Year’s Day: 01/01/2025
- Ascension Day: 29/05/2025
- National Day: 01/08/2025
- Christmas Day: 25/12/2025
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 closer to those days.

- The country name in capitals
For example:
