Can I receive a package in Zurich airport while on transit?
In a few weeks I will have a flight with few hours transfer in Zurich. I will have several hours and I can leave the transfer zone, it won't be enough to leave the airport though.
Let's say I want to order something from an online shop located in Switzerland, is there any way to get it delivered to the airport so I could pick it up during my transfer?
Best Answer
This page from Swiss Post shows that the airport in Zürich has a post office with PickPost Service. It's open 07:30-21:00 though, so not 24/7.
As @jcaron mentions PickPost is only available for Swiss residents. But among services mentioned in the airport post office page is "Receiving letter and parcels" so I guess Poste Restante could work.

Answer 2
This is a generic answer but one other option in these circumstances is to phone one of the hotels nearby (preferably with a shuttle bus to the terminal) and ask them if you can have a package delivered to their front desk. Intimate that you’d leave a tip for this.
