Our DPD SERVICES for domestic shipping in Switzerland

Whether you regularly ship parcels within Switzerland as a business or are waiting for a delivery as a private individual – at DPD Switzerland, we offer the right domestic shipping service for every need. Our goal is to deliver shipments reliably, transparently and flexibly to their destination. In this blog post, we give you a comprehensive overview of our national DPD SERVICES and show how both senders and recipients benefit from them.

Domestic shipping plays a central role in day-to-day business as well as in e-commerce. Short delivery times, high delivery rates and flexible receiving options are crucial today. This is exactly where our DPD SERVICES come in.

Domestic shipping for business customers in Switzerland

DPD CLASSIC is our proven standard service for national shipping from business to business. We usually deliver parcels within 24 hours and hand them over against signature. This ensures a high level of security and traceability. For shippers, this means reliable delivery with transparent shipment tracking and multiple delivery attempts. Recipients benefit from clearly regulated handover and a predictable delivery. Parcels under this service are delivered against signature, which creates even greater trust among recipients.

With DPD CLASSIC LITE, we offer a flexible alternative for business customers where no signature is required. Parcels can be deposited in a secure location or, where possible, left in the shop or at the building entrance. Using our Predict service, the recipient can actively influence the delivery and, for example, arrange a redirection. For shippers, this reduces returns and simplifies logistics. Recipients especially appreciate the flexibility of being delivered to even when they are not present.

When shipments are particularly time-sensitive, DPD EXPRESS is the solution. With this service, we deliver parcels the next working day in the morning, depending on the region by 10:00 or 12:00. For shippers, this is the ideal choice for urgently needed documents or spare parts, for example. Recipients know exactly when to expect their delivery and can plan accordingly.

For small and lightweight shipments up to 2 kg, we offer efficient mailbox delivery with our DPD PARCELLETTER service. This service is especially suitable for online shops with a high shipping volume of small items. For senders, DPD PARCELLETTER is cost-effective and stands out with a very high delivery rate. Recipients benefit from not having to be at home, as the shipment is delivered directly to their mailbox.

DPD PARCELBOX stands for maximum flexibility in delivery. We deliver parcels directly into the milk box or to a secure drop-off location. If this is not possible, the shipment can be delivered to a DPD Pickup parcelshop for later collection. For senders, this means fewer delivery issues and a high success rate on the first delivery attempt. Recipients appreciate being able to reliably receive their parcels even when they are not at home. Due to the specified dimensions, this service is mainly suitable for smaller shipments up to 5 kg.

National shipping to private individuals in Switzerland

As the clear number two in B2C delivery in Switzerland, DPD Switzerland offers reliable DPD SERVICES for shipping to private customers – transparent, flexible and convenient.

With DPD Comfort, we offer personal delivery to private customers with advance notification, two delivery attempts, and flexible redirection options. If delivery is not successful, the parcel is automatically forwarded to the nearest DPD Pickup parcelshop. This way, recipients always remain in control of their shipment.

DPD Home provides maximum flexibility for home delivery without a signature. By default, this service is used by businesses when shipping parcels to their end customers. If the recipient is absent, delivery is made either by placing the parcel in a secure location (Safe Place) or at one of our more than 1’000 DPD Pickup parcelshops.

With DPD Shop, we deliver shipments directly to a DPD Pickup parcelshop of your choice. This service is especially suitable for recipients who, for example, are not at home during the day, cannot provide a Safe Place, or want to pick up their parcels flexibly.

Additionally, DPD DPD SERVICES, DPD Parcelletter, and DPD Parcelbox are also available to private customers and offer simple solutions for small and lightweight shipments.
