Does anyone know if it is possible to send a package to Belarus and russia from Switzerlan or France? I sent a package witha birthday gift to my old friend in Belarus from Austria when I traveled there recently, and the main Austrian post office in Vienna accepted it. But a week later it was returned to my Vienna rental apartment. I will go to Vienna again in a month and my landlord will give me the package then as she keeps it for me. I will then travel to Switzerland and France and would like to resend it from there because I can’t send it from the US (where I live). I also want to send a birthday gift to my friend in russia from there. Could anyone please tell me if this is possible? Thank you!
I checked Swiss Post and they do send parcels to Belarus and Russia
La Poste gives me a French site which I can’t navigate on my phone - the translation option isn’t available. Perhaps you could check it out on a computer?
Hope this helps!

Thank you both so much! I’ll try to resend from Switzerland as I will go there before France. The package is under 2 kg, so hopefully it won’t be traveling too long.
Update on Switzerland post. You can only send letters, postcards, documents in a large envelope, and priority packages (2 kg will cost 50+ Swiss francs) to both Belarus and Russia. Small packets up to 2kg aren’t accepted. Will go to Paris tomorrow and will see if I can send from there.

Theoretically in France you can send packages to Russia or Belarus, provided you do not send prohibited products (long list).
Unfortunately no. They do send them but by priority mail only and the cost was like €50 or something for a package under 2 kg. Same thing in Switzerland.
