Anyone have any experience shipping electronics from the US to Europe, specifically Switzerland? I have to ship some small samples to our European partner and was wondering if people had any idea on the best/cheapest carrier.

I have had poor experiences with DHL. Losing and having to find 6 figures worth of stuff.
Just a heads up I guess.
Where have all the lightweights gone?

Does your company do a relatively high amount of shipping using either FedEx or UPS? I can’t imagine the same discounted rates you would get through them wouldn’t apply to an international shipment.

If anything they want more international shipments. Fedex wouldn’t move much on their domestic rates, but could offer good discounts on the international shipments.
Any of the major international couriers will be fine, just make sure you fill out the customs documentation correctly!

We have a UPS account, but I only use it about once every month.

USPS will be the cheapest. UPS and Fed Ex generally have very expensive Int’l rates. With USPS you should be able to do all the paperwork/payment online and just drop it off at the post office. I’ve shipped very large things to Malaysia for work and we always used USPS. Just make sure to mark down that the value of the parts is $0.00 as it is samples. That way they won’t have to pay duties.
