Comment expédier un courrier simple ou recommandé en Guadeloupe ?

Guadeloupe, another jewel of the French Caribbean, attracts attention with its dense forests, soothing waterfalls, and rich historical heritage. Located in the Caribbean Sea, it is part of the overseas departments and regions and overseas collectivities (DROM-COM). Facing Martinique, Guyane, and Réunion, the Butterfly Island is considered an outermost region in Europe and is visited by thousands of letters per year. This allows Guadeloupeans to have a practical and secure postal service to send mail around the world, including in Metropolitan France. This facilitates their communication with loved ones or helps them manage their administrative tasks easily.

What types of mail can I send to Guadeloupe?

Apart from packages handled by La Poste, you have the option to send :

• A standard or green mail: a commonly used method for sending mail; this option is the least expensive of the three, but carries more risks regarding its receipt since tracking is not included. Green mail is generally used when sending simple documents, personal letters, or small light parcels. You should not necessarily expect a reply from your recipient. However, this type of correspondence must be sent as a priority letter.
• A tracked letter: just like standard mail, mail sent to Guadeloupe is considered priority, which means you must pay more to ensure your letter arrives safely. As the name indicates, if you opt for this type of priority mail, you will receive a tracking number. This allows you to track the routing of your letter online without requiring the recipient's signature upon delivery by the postman. This service designed for various needs, whether for sending contracts, important documents, invoices, invitations to Guadeloupe or to satisfy client requests.
• The security of a registered letter is higher than that of a simple or tracked priority mail thanks to this postal service. The registered option provides, in addition to tracking, a receipt of deposit and a signature on delivery. A receipt must be signed by the recipient to confirm the reception of the mail. This service incurs an additional charge, but guarantees extra security for important shipments. This allows sending quickly and securely any type of mail, whether important documents, contracts or confidential information.

What is the delivery time to Guadeloupe?

For simple and tracked priority letters

The priority letter, whether simple or tracked, is generally sent within 3 to 5 business days. These timeframes are approximate and may vary depending on specific processing and transport conditions. During periods of high volume or disruptions, delays may occur.

For priority registered letters

The delivery time for a priority registered letter is also 3 to 5 business days. However, it may take up to 15 business days if the courier fails to deliver the mail in person to the recipient. In that case, a second attempt may be made before dropping the mail at a post office. These indicative timeframes may also vary depending on processing and transport conditions.

Where will my mail be delivered?

Whether you are on the mainland or overseas, your mail will be transported and delivered in the best conditions. The recipient chooses the delivery location according to their preferences:
