Switzerland is extremely strict with Lithium batteries (you have NO chance to send it via postal service and their international partners, as the ministry doesn't allow it. Exception: If the battery is in the device).

It might be possible though with FedEx and co. as I was told. Unfortunately I also don't know about a mail forwarding company around here.
From what I understand you don't pay the 70 Euros or so of VAT on the Jolla site when having it shipped to Switzerland. That is quite a big saving.

But yeah, there don't seem to be any (major) mail forwarding services in Switzerland
