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.

You can use the 18-digit parcel number to track your shipment at any time on www.quickpac.ch, and see the expected delivery date.

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.

Notifications are controlled by the parcel sender. Please contact the sender to ensure that this information is passed on in the future.

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.

Parcels that can be put in postboxes (in terms of both size and permissions) will always be posted through without the doorbell being rung. If the sender has given us your email address or mobile number, you will receive a notification with a confirmation of delivery after delivery has been made.

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.

A physical delivery card informs you that a delivery attempt was made, and we will either attempt delivery again in the near future or leave the parcel at a collection point near you. You can enter information from the delivery card on www.quickpac.ch to find out updated information about the status of your parcel.

In entering the parcel number from the green delivery card into the tracking on on www.quickpac.ch you will find all details of the pick-up point such as address, opening hours and also the pick-up code, which you will coercively need for the pick-up.

Quickpac works together with PickMup, Migros’s practical collection service, for its collection points.

For the pick-up the pick-up code is requested as a QR code or as a character string from the website. Unfortunately, it is not possible to collect your parcel with the green delivery information.

You can find the pick-up code online at www.quickpac.ch. Either follow the link of the recipient notification you received by SMS or e-mail. Or you follow the instructions on the green delivery information which you found in your mailbox. Please note that it is not possible to pick up your parcel with the green delivery information. You will need the pick-up code, which is available online for your parcel. We will also be happy to help you on the free recipient hotline 0800 363 363.

Parcels are kept for collection for 14 days, after which they are returned to the sender.

For logistical reasons, the parcel will only be available at the collection 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.
