Why people use a Cyprus address for this
Switzerland sits outside the EU customs union, so a Swiss order into Cyprus needs an import entry like a British one.
Lebanon is one of the shortest hops we run, and a Cyprus suite is often the only practical way to buy from European stores that will not ship there directly.
A typical Switzerland to Lebanon shipment
Say you order phone and laptop accessories from microspot, then spot something else at microspot two days later. Both land at your Limassol suite inside 6–11 days. Left as they are, the two retail boxes plus packaging bill as roughly 21.6 kg of volumetric weight on the leg to Lebanon — because carriers charge for the size of the box, not what is in it.
- Three retail boxes, shipped as they arrived
- 21.6 kg billable
- Repacked into one box by our warehouse
- 14.0 kg billable
- Air you stop paying to fly to Lebanon
- 7.6 kg
From there it is 4–10 working days by express or 8–21 working days by post to Lebanon, plus clearance. Consolidation costs €5 per extra parcel merged in and repacking €6 — on this lane that is usually recovered several times over.

Questions
- Can I really buy from Switzerland and have it delivered in Lebanon?
- Yes. You get a Limassol street address with your own suite number, use it at a Swiss retailer's checkout, and we forward the parcel on to Lebanon. The retailer only ever ships domestically or within the EU, which is usually the cheap part.
- How long does it take?
- Two legs. 6–11 days for the retailer to reach our warehouse, then 4–10 working days by express or 8–21 working days by post to Lebanon. Customs clearance at the far end sits on top of that.
- What does it cost?
- Opening the account is free and you pay only when you ship. Cyprus Post's published rate to Lebanon is €21.00 for a 2 kg parcel and €30.00 by EMS; we show those next to live FedEx rates for your exact weight, add a handling margin, and that is the price.
- Will I pay duty in Lebanon?
- Possibly — import duty and taxes are charged by Lebanon's customs, not by us, and the thresholds change. We show an estimate before you pay rather than guessing. Used electronics and anything resembling commercial quantity draws close attention at Beirut customs — declare honestly and keep the retailer invoice in the box.
- Can I combine several Swiss orders into one shipment?
- That is the part that saves the most money. Carriers bill on volumetric weight, so three half-empty retail boxes can cost far more than one packed properly. Leave the parcels with us and we consolidate them before the onward leg.
