What kinds of mail can you send to French Polynesia?

A standard or green mail: This approach is frequently used for sending mail and is the most affordable of the three options, however it presents more risks regarding its receipt, because tracking is not included. Generally, green mail is used to send simple documents, personal letters or small light packages. A response from your recipient is not necessarily expected. However, this kind of mail should be sent as priority mail.

A tracked mail: Like ordinary mail, mail sent to French Polynesia is classified as priority, which implies you must pay a supplement to guarantee the arrival of your mail safely. As its name suggests, a tracking number will be provided for this priority mail. This facilitates online tracking of your mail's journey without needing to sign for the recipient at delivery by the courier. This service satisfies different needs, whether for sending contracts, important documents, invoices, invitations to French Polynesia or to satisfy client requests.

In addition to tracking, the registered mail also provides a proof of deposit and a signed-for delivery. A signature must be provided by the recipient to confirm receipt. This service incurs an additional charge, but it guarantees increased security for important shipments. It makes sending all kinds of mail, whether important documents, contracts or confidential information, faster and safer.
