P & P

Ah no, this is not, what you think !  What with Christmas being in @ 44 DAYS....

As much as P & P, in the sense ( if you were thinking..? )

Post & Packaging, is Most important, to get those Dates right, so that the People who are Special in your life, and / or "The Diplomatic" Cards, and Presents... do, errhm, Arrive on Time.

At which point, I should mention that the SWISS POSTAL SERVICE is Extremely Efficient, as a whole.
But, BEWARE....of receiving a P & P, and being asked by the Post-Man, or Lady...to Kindly..."Cough Up" and PAY IMPORT DUTY, on certain Packages, you may receive.  There are Rules and Regulations, of which, I do not currently know, All of Them.

But, I can give you an example, of having ordered something - a piece of Jewellery - and because it had been Insured by the Sender, for a Value of Over, a Certain Amount....then there I was Paying at my front door, or you can go down to your Local Post Office, and pay Import Duty there.

There are lots of POST OFFICES in SWITZERLAND, in Yellow.

This could very well be, because, Many people living here, Swiss and Foreigners, have BANK ACCOUNTS with POST FINANCE, as it is called here. 

And, paying General Household Bills, Remains, in this Country, done in much of an : "Old-Style Fashion"...

You pay these Bills, at The Post Office.

Very Few "Invoices", are paid On-line here.

Well, at least doing so, in this way - "on Paper" - you know where you stand...The Receipt, Stamped - Paid - Tick, leaves with you, in your hand, erhm !

There actually seem to be More Post-Women, around these parts, than men, and they drive small MOTORBIKES, with side pouches, filled with Mail, to get around.

And Thankfully, so, what with all the Hills surrounding the residences, of people living around ZURICH LAKE.  Or ZÜRICHSEE, as they call it here.

Yes, and the "Locals" are meaning, referring to The Lake as A : "Sea".

The Long, Main road right by, parallel, and around the Lake : Zürichsee, is actually called : SeeStrasse !  Here is a View of the "Lay of The Land", around Zurich Lake / Sea :

Time, for some more : "Well would you Believe it"....  FACTS.. about SWITZERLAND, and the one which This P & P is really, err, "Talking About" ...!    :)

A while back, spoke about SWISS OXYMORON'S, in Previous Posts in this Blog, about what we have "Discovered" whilst Travelling, Around, and Living in Switzerland.
