Luggage shipping process Flight arriving ZRH from US and shipping to St Moritz Rail Station

I will be arriving on an AA flight from the US (PHL) and would like to have my luggage shipped to the St. Moritz rail station upon arrival. I need clarification on my options and the process please.

Do I need to claim my luggage arriving upon ZRH airport and then after clearing Immigrations and Customs proceed to SBB ticket counter at ZRH airport to arrange shipping to the St. Moritz rail station? Or, will they automatically be collected by airport personnel and shipped to St Moritz when arriving Zurich? If automatically shipped how and where do I get the proper baggage tags/custom forms etc. to place on my luggage?

Also, is it a problem if I do not pick up my bags in St. Moritz until 4 days later after arriving in Zurich? How long can luggage be held at station?

Please advise correct link or option to choose via the SBB website to purchase in advance. ie: Luggage or Flight Luggage

Thank you for any information provided.

Hello Rmklein

Please, kindly refrain from writing in bold font, it is not convenient to read (and seems like yelling). You can find our English-speaking community here: Questions and answers - SBB CFF FFS Community

You have to pick up your luggage from the baggage carousel, pass the customs, and then drop it at the SBB travel center; automated shipping is not possible. So, the service you would want to use is station-to-station luggage.

Furthermore:

The luggage to be transported must be labelled with a name, address and telephone number and be packed appropriately. My advice is, leave a note on the name tag with the date when the baggage will be picked up from the station.
Free storage on the day of arrival and the following four days. Every subsequent day costs CHF 5.

Kind regards,

Your quick response is greatly appreciated and my sincere apologies for the bold font. I only intended to highlight my specific questions. I now feel much further informed on how to move forward with the process of shipping luggage and appreciate the referral to the English speaking site area. Many Thanks
