Example: Crodino Flaschenpost
Campari Schweiz AG decided to send two bottles of Crodino. 30,000 glass bottles arrived undamaged at the consumer's letterbox. The high-quality design of the package made it look very attractive and sparked the curiosity of the recipients.

Price calculation
The base price is determined by the format and weight of your mail items.
In addition, there is a weight-based surcharge, which is calculated to the gram, as well as a goods surcharge.
Additional surcharges may be imposed for mail items that cannot be stacked.
From an annual turnover of CHF 50,000 (with all Quickmail products) we grant attractive turnover discounts.
For mailings in residual bundles, a surcharge of CHF 0.11 incl. VAT per item will be applied. This surcharge is not discounted.
Good to know!
Residual bundles result when the minimum number of mailings per bundle specified by you is not reached for a delivery area. The higher the total delivery quantity and the lower the minimum number of mailings per bundle you have specified, the lower the proportion of mailings in residual bundles. You can find out how high the proportion of mailings in residual bundles is after routing an order in the Extranet on the "Download" page.
Billing information
The price per mail item is calculated including VAT and commercially rounded to whole centime amounts. The discount is then deducted and multiplied by the number of items to give the total amount.
