Send Parcels to Switzerland from only £9.41
Send a parcel to Switzerland, and you’ll be contributing to a total trade valued at £23.9 billion in 2025. Exports to Switzerland alone made up £5.6 million of this total, and are just further proof of strengthening UK-Swiss relations.
As the UK’s tenth-largest trading partner, it’s not only goods that the two countries trade. According to figures from 2024, more than 40,000 British nationals live in Switzerland, and the UK has an equally large Swiss presence.
Around 42,600 Swiss citizens reside in the UK and Ireland, which means the rates of postage to Switzerland from UK are higher now than ever before. Switzerland’s e-commerce sector plays another big role in international trade. For example, in 2024, Switzerland generated around €15.9 billion in online sales (with 96% of the population using the Internet).
As one of Europe's most lucrative markets for foreign e‑commerce operators, parcel delivery to Switzerland can be difficult when it comes time to compare courier rates. But that’s where ParcelBroker steps in. Researching shipping from UK to Switzerland is made easy with our quick online comparison service.
