If you are looking for shipping something across Mauritius or outside the country, you will be surprised to find that Mauritius offers one of the most expensive shipping rates. It’s primarily due to small size of population so less demand, hence, the courier companies charge a premium especially if you want to courier something internationally and that too express. Some of the top reliable shipping companies are listed, however, please do your own due diligence as well before sending a parcel across.
- Mauritius Post – This is the national postal service of Mauritius, offering a range of courier and logistics services both domestically and internationally. They do
2. Chronopost – Chronopost is based out of France and has their headquarters in Port Louis in Mauritius. It has become popular because of the lower rates they offer, but, there is a big question mark in terms of their reliability to deliver on time. There are lot of negative reviews about Chronopost, Mauritius – they might be doing a good job in France but in Mauritius, their service and customer support is pathetic. You could end up calling them to help trace the parcel but their support is not helpful.
3. DHL – DHL is a global brand and has been doing a successful business since a long time. Most of the time they are very reliable in their delivery especially if you are sending to Europe or receiving from there. There are issues when sending to few other countries like India, mostly because of how Indian customs is and nothing to do with DHL. Locally their prices are high but if you sending internationally, you can opt for DHL, mauritius.
4. FedEx – FedEx is an American shipping company so their services are pretty good but they come at an expense. Their website doesn’t mention rates so you might need to visit their office to find the rates before deciding whether you can opt for it or not.
5. Celero – Celero is a local shipping company based out of Mauritius. The online reviews are mixed for this company but if you read the online reviews, you might not want to try them out.
6. SpeedAf – This is the shipping company used mostly for orders placed via AliExpress. This is one of the most unprofessional shipping company as they will not deliver at your doorstep and will end up calling you to their warehouses to collect your parcel. That’s not all, they will also call you at random times irrespective of whether you are working or not and sometimes it’s extremely inconvenient to drop work and drive across town to collect parcel.
Personally, I would like to take my chances for shipping with a global brand because they will care about their reputation and at least you can speak to someone there to lodge a grievance.
