Yep, any Swiss Post mailbox. They're not that discriminatory here. |

The one on the left if for brown glass, the one on the right for white glass. Turn around and there's another for green glass and one for tins.

On a more serious note, I never heard of 2 mailboxes.

Hi Becky
The Swiss postal system distinguishes between "A" and "B". "A" will arrive the next day, "B" can take up to 3 days.
If you've got a prepaid envelope saying "A", then throw it into the mailbox for the "A" mail.

I'd go with möpp's advice, if I were you. S/he has an umlaut in his/her name so should know what s/he is talking about!

I would start with the slot on the right (but you can chose the left) and then proceed with:
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a tiger by the toe. If he hollers let him go, eeny, meeny, miny, moe. My mother told me to pick the best one, and you are not it.
And then slip the letter in the opposite slot.
Good-luck.

If the envelope does not have an "A" on it (or a "Prioritaire" badge) then it is not A post and does not belong in the A post box.

Good-luck. | | | | | Ah PC comes to nursery rhymes.... but now at least we can spot you at the post office J.L-P, you'll be the one chatting to the mail box.
Meanwhile I await the photo's of these offending mailboxes, but OP can you clearly mark which box is which as this thread has me baffled.
