Obviously never something that would work in the US for a million valid and less valid reasons, but we found it awesome. We lived in 2 apartments and didn't get a piece of spam or a piece of mail addressed to somebody else delivered for 2.5 years.

I didn't know you were in Switzerland. My oldest and his family live in Schaffhausen.
