I just got bitten by the new 18Fr fee. It's really a ridiculous rate to charge for opening my mail.

And I've got a few more things on the way. The Swiss catalogue price. Hmm, yet another reason for the merchants to raise their already stupidly high prices. Thank you Godfather.
Been charged that on the last few parcels in November and December last year. However I have managed a few smaller low value (below 50CHF) straight to the door and no bill. So it pays sometimes to break up purchases to keep the price low.
