Living in South Africa and want to send a gift home to Mauritius? You don't need to post a parcel, deal with couriers or worry about customs. DodoMarket is based on the island - we prepare your gift locally and hand-deliver it, often the same day. Mauritius is just two hours ahead of South Africa, so same-day delivery is easy to plan. From gourmet hampers and fresh flowers to cakes and chocolates, you choose online from Johannesburg, Cape Town or Durban, and we handle everything in Mauritius. No customs, no delays, no stress - just a happy face on the other side.
Browse hampers, flowers, cakes and chocolates. Filter by occasion, budget or who you're spoiling back home.
Enter your loved one's name, mobile and island address, plus your personal message. Pay securely with your South African card.
Our Mauritius team prepares and hand-delivers your gift - Port Louis to Grand Baie - and sends you a photo.
Diwali, Eid, a birthday, or just because...
Make Someone's Day in Mauritius
From Port Louis to Grand Baie, Curepipe to Flic-en-Flac - we deliver joy across the entire island while you're in South Africa.
Because we're based in Mauritius, there's no international shipping involved. Order before our cut-off - 11:30am Mauritius time, about 9:30am South African time - and many gifts arrive the same day. Otherwise it's usually next-day or your chosen date. You'll see all options at checkout.
No - and that's exactly why this works. A parcel sent from South Africa 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.
You order and pay online with your South African card. Prices are shown in Mauritian rupees (Rs) and your bank handles the conversion - most gift hampers work out at roughly R600-R1,200. No account or app needed.
Mauritius is two hours ahead of South Africa (GMT+4 vs GMT+2). Our same-day cut-off is 11:30am Mauritius time - about 9:30am your time. For birthdays and festivals, order a day or two ahead.
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 South Africa 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.
The island celebrates them all - and so does the Mauritian community in South Africa:
Diwali, Eid, Christmas, Chinese New Year, Holi. Send sweets, hampers and flowers to mark the day, wherever you are.
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.
No occasion needed:
Thinking of you, get well, sympathy, or simply missing home. Sometimes the best gifts are the unexpected ones.
We hand-deliver anywhere in Mauritius - every town and village.
Include a local mobile number - our drivers call or WhatsApp the recipient if needed.
