What are the delivery times for freight transport Italy-Switzerland?

Delivery times for Italy-Switzerland freight depend on service level and collection/delivery zone. Franzosini offers three levels: 1) Express same-day — morning collection in northern Italy (Lombardy, Piedmont, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna), same-day delivery in Ticino; 2) Priority next-day — collection today, delivery tomorrow, covering all northern and central Italy to anywhere in Switzerland; 3) Standard 24-48h — most economical for non-urgent shipments, covering all Italy to all Switzerland. Factors affecting timing: collection distance; customs complexity; collection time (before 14:00 enables next-day); goods type (ADR, refrigerated, oversized need planning); day of week (Swiss heavy vehicle Sunday ban). Swiss distribution: all 26 cantons with certified partners, appointment delivery, floor delivery and digital confirmation.
