Sending Gifts to Mauritius from Canada: Common Questions
Because we're based in Mauritius, there's no international shipping involved. Our cut-off is 11:30am Mauritius time - overnight in Canada - so order the evening before for same-day delivery on the island, or choose your delivery date. You'll see all options at checkout.
No - and that's exactly why this works. A parcel sent from Canada almost always gets taxed: Mauritius charges import duty on parcels from abroad, and the gift's value plus shipping is almost always enough to trigger it. Because we prepare and deliver everything locally in Mauritius, there's no parcel, no customs and no surprise fees for your recipient - ever.
Yes. You order and pay online with your Canadian card or bank. Prices are shown in Mauritian rupees (Rs) and your card handles the conversion - most gift hampers work out around C$45-C$90. There's no separate account or app needed.
Mauritius is about 8-9 hours ahead of Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, and roughly 12 hours ahead of Vancouver. Our 11:30am Mauritius cut-off falls overnight your time, so order the evening before for same-day delivery - or simply schedule a future date.
Yes - we hand-deliver anywhere in Mauritius. Every town and village, from Port Louis and Curepipe to Grand Baie, Flic-en-Flac, Mahébourg and beyond. Just add the recipient's mobile number and our team confirms access if it's ever needed.
Almost always, yes. Postage and courier fees from Canada to Mauritius are high and slow - and the import duty on top can rival the gift itself. With DodoMarket there's no shipping and no customs, so your full budget goes into the gift and it arrives in a day or two, not weeks.
What Canadian Mauritians Send For
Festivals & Holidays
The island celebrates them all - and so does the Canadian Mauritian community:
Diwali, Eid, Christmas, Chinese New Year. Send sweets, hampers and flowers to mark the day, wherever you are in Canada.
Family Milestones
Be there for the big moments from afar:
Birthdays, anniversaries, a new baby, exam results, Mother's & Father's Day. A surprise gift says "I'm thinking of you" better than a call.
Just Because
No occasion needed:
Thinking of you, get well, sympathy, or simply missing home. Sometimes the best gifts are the unexpected ones.
