The Cape Verde Islands are a group of three main islands: Sal, Boa Vista and Maio with many much smaller ones and is a former Portuguese colony located off the North-west coast of Africa. If you are looking for a more affordable way to send a parcel there, we are more than happy to help to make use of our low-cost courier services and arrange a free collection from your home or work address from a fully tracked courier service.
Here are some examples of prices to send a parcel to Cape Verde. We have many options, so for a personalised quote please enter the weight of your item into the quote box below.
Being located a fair distance from the coast of Africa it is understandable that the islands don't benefit from having a very frequent courier service. In fact, DHL Air Express can deliver anywhere between two and five full days from the date of collection, whilst our own Parcel Monkey Air Express service delivers on a three to six-day basis.
The largest island in Cape Verde is Santiago, and is home to the capital, Praia, so if shipping goods here you can expect the delivery time to be a little quicker due to better transport infrastructure.
All services booked via our quote engine come with full tracking to delivery so if you opt for DHL, whilst you will pay a discounted rate the service will be of the same quality as booking direct. The same with Parcel Monkey Air Express which is handled door to door with full tracking by premium couriers.
We do suggest that you contact the Cape Verde government prior to sending parcels there to make sure that the contents of your packages don't contravene any local laws. You can find their website here.
We also advise checking our own prohibited items list and packaging guides to ensure there is no issue with the delivery of your items.
The Cape Verde islands have few natural resources other than fishing grounds which contribute over half of their exports and, of course, the wind which now contributes to a quarter of their energy production.Recent programmes to improve the local economy and living standards have led the Cape Verde islands to move out of being a 'Least Developed Country' to a 'Middle Income Country'.

very easy to use, good instructions, quick sevice.
Cheap, but can be frustrating, they don’t seem to use a up to date Royal Mail database of addresses, (over 2 years old) so have to enter manually. When you do select an address (from postcode) sometimes it’s too long to fit on its line ! They need to amend their maximum character lengths. Be careful with package values. If you book directly with a courier, more often than not it will include several hundred pounds of insurance cover, as standard. Parcel monkey will charge you more than the cost of sending your package, just for the insurance!!!
Very quick and efficient service for selecting the best courier service. I always use this.
Easy & delivery wuick
After being messed around by several carriers whose lists of details grew too long to imagine, Parcel Monkeys Instructions were easy to unserstand and simple to follow.Thank you.
