DELIVERY OF YOUR ZALANDO PURCHASES at your house in Switzerland​

ColisExpat receives your Zalando purchases and forwards them at your house in Switzerland.

Zalando Switzerland is one of the most popular online shopping sites among fashion lovers in the Swiss Confederation. While the Swiss platform is known for its reliable and affordable delivery service, some brands, exclusive promotions, and early-access collections are only available on international versions of Zalando (outside Switzerland).

Problem: most international Zalando marketplaces do not deliver to Switzerland. Each national store operates with its own delivery zones. In other words, you cannot freely access international Zalando offers from Switzerland.

However, there is a simple and cost-effective solution to bypass these restrictions: package forwarding. In this article, we explain why international Zalando sites do not deliver to Switzerland and how to receive your orders directly at home with ColisExpat.

Zalando delivery in Switzerland: a leading fashion platform

Founded in 2008 in a small apartment in Berlin, Zalando is now the European leader in online sales of shoes, clothing, and fashion accessories. The company quickly stood out thanks to its wide product range and its ability to meet the expectations of digital consumers.

Zalando in numbers

Here are some key figures that perfectly illustrate the success story of the German company:

• 25 European markets where Zalando operates,
• 20 local payment options,
• 19 languages supported by the online store and customer service,
• 12 distribution centers across Europe,
• 16 physical stores located in Germany,
• 15,000 employees,
• 150,000 products available,
• 6,000 brands featured in the online catalog,
• €10.57 billion in revenue in 2024,
• 51.8 million active customers.

Products available on Zalando

Zalando offers a wide range of fashion and lifestyle products from global brands across the following categories:

• Clothing for men, women, and children: shirts, blouses, sweatshirts, coats, T-shirts, skirts, socks, pajamas, dresses, pants, jeans, lingerie, sportswear,
• Shoes: boots, ankle boots, flats, sneakers, high heels, ballet flats, sandals, flip-flops, running and hiking shoes,
• Accessories: jewelry, watches, belts, hats, wallets, bags, suitcases, gloves, sunglasses, umbrellas,
• Beauty: makeup, perfumes, hair care.

Why don’t international Zalando sites deliver to Switzerland?

Zalando operates on a local market model. This means that each country where the company is present has its own website, currency, taxes, and logistics partners.

This strategy offers several logistical and business advantages. For example, the company can tailor its offer to local preferences and customer expectations. In addition, international shipping outside the European Union involves multiple logistical and administrative challenges, such as high delivery costs, customs fees, and VAT.

Unfortunately, this situation can be restrictive if you live in Switzerland and want to shop on an international Zalando website.
