Package forwarding from India to Switzerland

Search Console already shows Switzerland searching for courier from India, at a better position than most markets we had not built for. Indian stores will not deliver there, so a free Indian address is the route.

Swiss customs applies duty and VAT on relatively low values, so declare accurately - the recipient usually settles it before delivery.

We deliver door to door across Switzerland, including Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Bern and Lausanne.

Shipping from India to Switzerland — questions

How do I shop Indian websites from Switzerland?

Sign up free and you get an Indian delivery address in Pala, Kerala with your own suite code. Use it as the shipping address at checkout on Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio and most other Indian stores. When your parcels reach us we let you know, and you choose when to have them forwarded to Switzerland.

How long does delivery to Switzerland take?

Typically 5 to 10 business days from the day your consolidated shipment leaves our warehouse, plus customs clearance at your end. Time in storage before you request shipping does not count towards that.

How much can I save by combining parcels?

International shipping is priced on weight and size, so five separate parcels cost far more than one. We repack everything into a single box and strip unnecessary packaging to cut volumetric weight — savings of up to 80% against shipping each order on its own are normal.

Will I pay customs duty in Switzerland?

Switzerland is NOT in the EU, so EU thresholds do not apply. Swiss VAT (around 8.1%) applies; duty can be weight-based; the recipient pays charges before delivery. Duty is charged by the customs authority in Switzerland, not by India Rabbit.

What can I not forward to Switzerland?

Prohibited for Switzerland: Counterfeit goods and endangered species products; Weapons and certain knives; Meat and dairy products without the required permits; Narcotics and controlled substances; Cash, currency, cheques, bullion, and loose precious stones; Narcotics, illegal drugs, and psychotropic substances. Check before you order — these are refused at customs or by the airline.

How long will you hold my parcels?

30 days free from the day each parcel arrives, which is enough to finish a sale-season order and send it all together. Storage can be extended for a fee if you need longer.

Do I need an Indian card or phone number?

For most stores your own card works fine. Where a store insists on an Indian payment method, message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will tell you what is possible.
