ZURICH Airport: Where to leave keys for another person to pick up

We're trying to figure out a place in ZRH airport where one can leave a set of keys for another person to pick up the next morning. We can't use the luggage storage box because we can't pass the key. Any thoughts? We thought about the luggage storage drop off counter but it also requires using a ticket/zettel to pick up. Anybody knows a smart solution?

There IS a post office in the airport...
I wonder if they might have a solution?

Thanks Mokka, we thought about DHL next day service too but we have no fixed address and we have a very small time window as we need to pick up keys the very next morning.

We are flying into Zurich, driving to Bern for a conference and then flying from Bern to Nice where we will need the keys to acces a house in Cote d'Azur while the owner is travelling abroad out of Zurich the day before.

Can the owner leave the house keys with a neighbor in the Cote d'Azur?

The owner is currently in the US arriving back in Zurich two days before we do, she will pick up her vacation home keys from her place in Lucerne and fly out for a meeting in Austria one day before we arrive in Zurich. To complicate things we are flying for a meeting at the Hague in Holland on our way to the meeting in Bern. We can't use an address at the Hague either.

This is a real puzzle to solve

What about this for some lateral thinking - use the lost property desk.

Your friends hands the keys in as "lost property"

The next day you claim the keys as "found property"

What could possibly go wrong?.....!!

LOL that's really creative thinking! Unfortunately we don't have much time at ZRH to file a claim etc because we land at 8:30am and our meeting starts at 9:30 am in Bern, we'll be running late as it is trying to be there before 10 am.

Can the owner overnight (DHL) the keys to a neighbor in the Cote d'Azur?

Or can the owner leave the keys with a neighbor in Lucerne where you could retrieve them? It would require you going to Lucerne to pick them up but if you have no other option...

Forget the Lucerne idea, I just saw your latest post.
