Notice

Fake profile claiming to be Mauritius Post Ltd on Facebook

We would like to bring to your attention the existence of a fraudulent profile on Facebook, which falsely claims to be representing Mauritius Post Ltd.

Mauritius Post Ltd informs its esteemed customers and the general public that, due to a substantial increase in the volume of air parcels and small packets, combined with limited cargo space on Air Mauritius flights to Rodrigues, the regular daily dispatch of these items has been temporarily suspended.  During this period, priority will be given to EMS services and letter mail, while the transportation of parcels and small packets will be subject to delays. Customers intending to send parcels using Colipost boxes (sizes S, M, L, and XL) are advised to use the sea freight service for shipments to Rodrigues.  We would like to reassure you that all parcels, up to a maximum weight of 10 kg, will continue to be accepted via Surface Mail. Mauritius Post Ltd has put measures in place to ensure that surface mail dispatches to Rodrigues occur at least twice a month to minimise disruptions.  We sincerely regret any inconvenience this temporary suspension may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience. Mauritius Post Ltd remains committed to providing timely updates on the situation as developments unfold.  Thank you for your continued cooperation.
