How to send a simple or registered letter to Martinique?

Martinique, a French island in the Caribbean, located close to the Americas in the Caribbean Sea. It is a member of the overseas departments and regions and overseas collectivities (DROM-COM). Being an outermost region in Europe, the Island of Flowers attracts attention with its white-sand beaches, dynamic Creole culture, and exotic cuisine. Along with Guadeloupe, French Guiana, and Réunion, the archipelago is a popular destination for tourists and residents, who receive and send thousands of letters each year. La Poste thus offers Martiniquans the possibility to send letters around the world, including to metropolitan France, and maintains a practical and secure postal service to stay in touch with loved ones or manage administrative tasks.

What types of mail can I send to Martinique?

Aside from parcels handled by La Poste itself, you can send :

• A standard or green letter: This method is commonly used for sending mail and is the cheapest of the three options, but carries more risks in terms of its delivery because 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, for this correspondence, you will need to send it as a priority letter.
• A tracked letter: Just like standard mail, mail sent to Martinique is considered priority, meaning you pay more to ensure your letter arrives safely. As the name suggests, if you opt for this type of priority mail, you will receive a tracking number. This enables online tracking of your letter's routing without requiring the recipient's signature when delivered by the postman. This service is designed to meet various needs, whether sending contracts, important documents, invoices, invitations to Martinique or answering client requests.
• A registered letter: This postal service guarantees higher security than a simple or tracked priority letter. In addition to tracking, registered mail offers a receipt and a signature on delivery. The recipient must sign an acknowledgment of receipt to confirm the mail has been received. This service is more expensive but provides 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 transit time for my letter to Martinique?

For simple and tracked priority letters

The transit time for a priority letter, whether simple or tracked, is generally 3 to 5 business days. These timeframes are indicative and may vary depending on the specific processing and transport conditions. In periods of high volume or disruptions, delays may occur.

For priority registered letters

The transit 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 is unable to deliver the mail in person to the recipient. In this 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:
