Geneva - Post Report Question and Answers

How do you send and receive your letters and package mail? Are local postal facilities adequate?

Through the DPO. - Jun 2022


France's service when they privatized degraded. I say they consider addresses a suggestion. Switzerland's is more or less okay. - Jul 2018


DPO. I've used the Swiss Post several times within country and was amazed at how fast it was. - Mar 2014


La Poste. - Mar 2014


Regular mail. - Mar 2013


I use DPO and the pouch. It's slow. Like everywhere. - Feb 2012


The US Mission has an address based in Dulles that you may use to get items -- following the pouch rules. The turnaround time from Dulles to Geneva is about 2 weeks. From the mission, you can only mail items the size of a VHS tape. Large packages can be shipped through the local post, but it is a bit expensive, from what I understand. - Jul 2009
