Postpone less urgent items to the following day, if possible. Label urgent items with reserve barcodes. If there are no reserve barcodes available, hand over to the nearest Swiss Post acceptance point. The system disruption must be communicated to Swiss Post staff when handing over the item so that the additional fee usually payable is not charged.
For services that include mandatory data submission (e.g. cash on delivery), the preparation of labels, and hence the dispatch, must be postponed.
Note:
If the items are labelled by a post office or distribution base, a search for these items may only be carried out using the public consignment tracking service (i.e. there are no signature or parcel images available).

Consignments can be processed as usual if DataTransfer malfunctions. The data is transferred by the customer to Swiss Post as normal, where it is further processed internally until the disruption has been resolved. The DataTransfer reports are also sent. Notification services should not be used, however, as the corresponding data will not be transferred on time and cannot be executed by Swiss Post. New PickPost registrations cannot be processed and identified by the PickPost point. PickPost should thus be deactivated in the sender’s online shop during the interruption.

Postpone less urgent items to the following day, if possible. Label urgent items with reserve barcodes. If there are no reserve barcodes available, hand over to the nearest Swiss Post acceptance point. The system disruption must be communicated to Swiss Post staff when handing over the item so that the additional fee usually payable is not charged.
If the “Barcode” web service fails, no BLN consignments can be sent. The relevant data cannot be sent to Swiss Post and the payment collected thus cannot be assigned to the sender.
Note:
If the items are labelled by a post office or distribution base, a search for these items may only be carried out using the public consignment tracking service (i.e. there are no signature or parcel/letter images available). Furthermore, only the first and last barcode number are available. As a result, these items cannot be linked with the orders in the customer’s own system.

During an interruption to the “My Post 24 / PickPost” web service or DataTransfer, no new PickPost registrations can be processed and identified by the PickPost point. PickPost should thus be deactivated in the sender’s online shop during the interruption.
