Questions and answers (FAQ)

Quickpac delivers to private recipients in selected postcode areas in Switzerland.

Every parcel has an 18-digit parcel number. This parcel number will be provided to you by the sender. You can use the number to track the parcel at any time on www.quickpac.ch.

The parcel number is generally given to you directly by the sender. The 18-digit parcel number is printed on the parcel itself, beneath the barcode.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to track a shipment without a parcel number. Please contact the sender if you do not have the number.

Is the parcel number correct? Then unfortunately, we have not yet received the information we need from the sender to be able to process the shipment. Please try again later or contact the sender.

As soon as we receive electronic notification of the parcel from the sender.

Quickpac sends notifications by email or SMS on the sender’s behalf to keep you informed of the parcel’s status.

Senders give Quickpac your contact details for recipient notifications. Please contact the sender to prevent this information being passed on in the future.

Not all senders entrust us with the recipient notification and send us the contact details of the recipients. However, you have the option of activating the notification yourself in the shipment tracking function.

This free delivery option is available to all recipients following a security check in the shipment tracking system at www.quickpac.ch/tracking. An e-mail address and/or a mobile number can be entered. From the time it is entered, all recipient notifications for the corresponding parcel will be sent. The notifications are sent in addition to any recipient notifications commissioned by the sender.

The coloured label was attached by Quickpac during the sorting process. It contains information about the delivery round and details of the free hotline, and is also used as identification for the postal service provider.

Quickpac always delivers parcels that can and are authorized for storage to the storage compartment without ringing. If the sender sends us your e-mail address or mobile number or if you have activated the notification yourself in the shipment tracking, you will receive a notification with a delivery confirmation after delivery.

If you do not wish to accept a parcel, you can refuse it at the time of delivery (if handed over in person). Our deliverer will take the parcel away and we will return it to the sender.

You can use the parcel number to find updated information about the shipment status in the shipment tracking on www.quickpac.ch.

The Pickup Information card informs you that a delivery attempt has been made at your location and that the parcel will be taken to a pick-up point near you. You can use the information on the pick-up information card to obtain up-to-date information on the status of your parcel on www.quickpac.ch.

In the tracking on www.quickpac.ch you will find all information about the pick-up point such as address and opening hours by means of the parcel number on the pick-up information.

Quickpac is co-operating with PickMup, Migros’s practical collection service.

For the pick-up you need the pick-up code as QR code. This information can be found on the delivered pick-up information card or can be displayed in the shipment tracking system at www.quickpac.ch/tracking. We will also be happy to help you on the free recipient hotline 0800 363 363.

Parcels are kept ready for pick-up for 14 days after delivery. After that the parcel will be picked up by Quickpac at the pick-up point and returned to the sender.

For logistical reasons, the parcel will only be available at the pick-up point from the next working day.

Quickpac does not currently offer this service. Please contact the sender directly regarding returning parcels.

In certain cases, it is agreed with the sender that undeliverable parcels may be handed over to Swiss Post for delivery. Swiss Post will then attempt a further delivery, and if they are unsuccessful, the parcel will be held at the post office for collection.

With evening deliveries up to 9 p.m., we aim to deliver parcels at a time when most recipients are at home. Using electric cars means that our deliveries are quiet, and a recipient notification will inform you if we are attempting delivery.

Please fill out the contact form (https://www.quickpac.ch/de/s/Kontakt) on our homepage, describe the type of damage, and give the parcel number. We will clarify the situation and get in touch.

Please make sure that the shipment tracking describes the parcel as delivered, and that no-one else has taken the parcel in for you. Is the parcel in the letter tray, building entrance or staircase? If not, please fill out the contact form (https://www.quickpac.ch/de/s/Kontakt) on our homepage. We will clarify the situation and get in touch.

At the given address the recipient is unknown. The mailbox is not labelled with the corresponding last name or company name and there is no indication of the recipient.

Delivery was not possible at the building at the address given due to an obstacle to delivery. The building is still under construction, has been demolished, is temporarily or permanently not accessible.

The recipient was not met during the parcel delivery, which requires a signature (additional service Signature), so that a delivery was not possible.

Due to a delay the delivery attempt had to be aborted. No delivery attempt was made at the recipient address. Reasons for a delay are, for example, insufficient battery reserve for the return journey with the electric car, extreme weather conditions, traffic-related factors such as traffic jams, accidents or a technical breakdown of the vehicle.

The parcel is located at Quickpac and is prepared for delivery to the Swiss Post.

The data for the dispatch of the parcel was transmitted electronically to the Swiss Post. After entering the parcel number, you will find the link to the Swiss Post's parcel tracking system in the parcel tracking section at www.quickpac.ch/tracking.

The parcel was handed over to the Swiss Post for delivery. A delivery attempt is made by the Swiss Post and if the recipient is absent, the parcel is held ready for collection at a post office/postal agency.

It is possible to enter a deposit order for individual parcels until shortly before the delivery attempt.

With a deposit order you instruct Quickpac to deposit your parcel at a specific location at the recipient's address. This free delivery option is available to all recipients after authentication in the tracking system at www.quickpac.ch/tracking until shortly before the delivery attempt (approx. 15 minutes). If you do not have Internet access, the deposit order can also be registered for you by our customer service via the recipient hotline on 0800 363 363.

Only parcels that do not require personal delivery against signature and that do not fit into the storage compartment (milk crate) will be deposited.

It is only possible to enter a deposit order if this option is displayed under delivery options in the tracking after authentication. If authentication has not taken place, if the parcel is a Signature or Mini format parcel (delivery to drop box), or if the parcel is in a status that does not allow a deposit order, this delivery option will not be displayed and is therefore not available.

The security check can be done in the tracking system at www.quickpac.ch/tracking after entering the parcel number and selecting an available delivery option. The check is performed by entering address components of the recipient's address.

In shipment tracking, this is not possible independently as a recipient and from a certain point in time, the execution of the order can technically no longer be stopped. In an emergency, please contact customer service using the contact form so that a manual deletion of the order can be checked.

In an emergency, please contact customer service using the contact form so that a manual change to the deposit order can be checked.

If the place of deposit does not comply with the specifications (freely accessible, on the property of the recipient address, protected from the weather) or is unclear, no deposit will be made in accordance with the order. If the parcel fits into the deposit box, it will always be delivered to the deposit box. If, in the opinion of our local deliverer, it is safer to deposit the parcel elsewhere at the recipient's address, it will be deposited there.

Unfortunately, this is not possible at present. If there is a great demand for permanent deposit orders, we will consider introducing it.

With the deposit order, liability is transferred to the recipient at the time of deposit at the recipient's address. After delivery of the parcel, all liability claims against Quickpac are excluded.

Unfortunately, for data protection reasons, we do not have access to this data from Swiss Post.

The parcels are sorted by hand by the deliverer. At Quickpac’s destination depots, parcels are given a coloured label that enables quick sorting with few errors.

As well as the extranet account’s information about individual parcels, which can be downloaded at any time, you also have Quickreport 11. This contains the relevant information and is made available on Quickpac’s SFTP server. This allows a current shipment status to be automatically sent to your IT system.

Quickpac calls these returned shipments. If a parcel is only temporarily undeliverable, a further delivery attempt will be made or the recipient can collect their parcel within a set period from a nearby pick-up point. If a shipment is not collected or if it is permanently undeliverable, then the parcel will be returned to the sender.
