Why Switzerland needs special attention
Le shipments verso Switzerland sono non-EU breve: significa più hub di smistamento, più movimentazione, più rischio di urti. A packaging adeguato all'oggetto e alla destination fa la differenza between arrival intatto e nasty surprise.

The 5 steps to pack landline phone for Switzerland
Step 1 — Materials needed. cornetta separata, cavi avvolti, box con imbottitura.
Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean landline phone before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.
Step 3 — Inner protective layer. Wrap landline phone in at least 3 layers of bubble wrap. Don't skimp on packing: the parcel passes through 4–5 international hubs.
Step 4 — Sturdy box. Double-wall corrugated cardboard, 5–10 cm larger than the contents on every side. Never reuse crushed boxes: cardboard loses strength after 1–2 shipments.
Step 5 — Sealing and labelling. H-shaped seal with 50+ mm tape. Label in Italian and English (or Switzerland's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
