Has anyone any experience of having online orders delivered to Divonne post office in France ( when companies do not deliver to Switzerland)? I have a friend who is willing to try and pick something up from me in Divonne but we have no idea of what the procedure is ( and, looking at the website , neither of us can work out which section to look under - and the website has a lot of sections :-)
Can anyone help?Anyone ever done this through the post office?
Any advice gratefully received .

Thank you SOoooo much!
It certainly works very well for Amazon purchases.. With amazon you simply add the post office as a new address, you get an email when it arrives, take ID and Ref No to collect..
I've tried a few other sites who don't accept to send stuff to the post office or the delivery address doesn't match billing address so card payment fails.. etc.. Guess it depends on the seller.

And remember for the address .. It would be :
Cocks, Buzz - Poste restante

Nice to know Glocals still works well as a source of helpful info.
Another option for purchases from amazon.fr is to use their own pickup locations. I know there is one at the Carrefour in Ferney Voltaire.

My son is in the sixth form and participating in a schools partnership program with a school in Cambodia. It is the first time his school has been involved in a project in Cambodia, but you can view some of the other partnership projects it has previously been involved in on the following link https://www.canford.com/prospective-parents/life-at-canford/community-action
He will be going to Cambodia at Easter to teach at the school and also to help with construction projects. As part of the project, he is required to raise a minimum £500 donation which will go to support the school and the local community in Cambodia.
As we live in France (5 minutes from Val Thoiry and 5 minutes from the Dardagny border), we often take in parcels for friends living in Geneva. He thought it would be a good idea to offer to do this over the Christmas holidays for people, in exchange for a small donation to his Just Giving page for the school.
He would collect your parcels, email you when they arrive and hold them safely until you have the opportunity to come and collect them. Please bear in mind he is just a 17 old trying to fundraise, and hoping to provide a useful service just before Christmas – he can’t take responsibility for parcels which may have been damaged in transit, or wrongly delivered!
If this is of any interest to you, or if you need any further information, feel free to IM me through the glocals site and I will provide you with his e-mail address and any other details required.

Thank you Kym - I actually solved my problem a while ago.
But your son's idea seems like a good one.
