So apparently it seems that you can shop online at Macy's or several other stores (http://www.borderfree.com/clients) without having to worry about paying import duties to the Swiss authorities.
This is because these stores have an agreement with Borderfree, which ensures that all the import duties will be paid in advance by the customer along with the shipping costs. During the sales season I believe it is still worth it to shop online at one of these big online stores, given the variety and the price (including the shipping+import duties) as compared to shopping in Switzerland.
Has anyone of you shopped online at Macy's or any other online store mentioned in the link above? How has your experience been? Can you please verify Borderfree's claim of not having to pay any import duties once the order arrives?
Before I go on a shopping spree, I just wanted to make sure.
Best Regards
