| | Mail stamps by SMS request
I was just mailing a letter this evening and thought I would pass on a handy tip if you don't physically have time to get to a post office to buy a stamp.
Just text STAMP to 414. You then get notified with a code, which is valid, once only, for a standard weight, standard size letter, within CH. You just write the code on the envelope, and that's it, it's ready to post.
More info and their T&C's are at swisspost.ch/smsstamp

That's assuming you have a phone of course.  And that what you want to post is destined for Switzerland. Not the case for me usually.
This info is actually on our local post box. So no excuse for putting a letter in the post without a stamp now. |

This tip has been posted a few times before, but it's a great reminder.
The sms is charged, so it's added to your mobile bill (or deducted from your payg balance; whatever).
It's also useful if you're asking someone to post something small to you - you can text them a code to cover the postage cost.
Unfortunately there's no choice in stamps. https://www.post.ch/en/private/a-z-o...ing-sms-stamps | The following 2 users would like to thank adrianlondon for this useful post: | |
