Takes me about 8 days to receive but after 62CHF the shipment is not exempt and customs fees apply. So, for a 6.50CHF TVA fee I had to pay 18CHF in additional administrative costs. Watch out for small shipments. The 62CHF also includes the cost of shipping so shipping it Express might just put you over the limit by shipping costs alone (depending on the shipping cost).
I had a different package sent using Express Mail and the administrative cost jumped to 35CHF for a 64USD value shipment. This time there was 10USD in TVA (45CHF with the administrative costs added) so it nearly doubled the cost of purchase.
