The Republic of Maldives is a beautiful island nation in the Indian Ocean, some 250 miles south-west of India and 430 miles to the west of Sri Lanka. Unlike other nations in the region, it has had a relatively un-tumultuous history, having been briefly controlled by the Portuguese, then Dutch empires and then the British who modified the Dutch name "Maldivische Eilanden" into the Maldives - which remains to this day.
In terms of sending parcels to the country, at the time of writing we can offer parcel delivery to the Maldives for around £32 on a 4 to 7-day service via Parcel Monkey Air Express, for roughly £35 using worldwide courier Asendia or we also offer a 3 to 6-day service via DHL Air Express. You will find our prices to be much lower than sending from the Post Office, plus you can have your parcel collected from your home or work address.
Much of the parcel volume shipped to the Maldives via Parcel Monkey is based on tourism, with left behind items being sent out to those on holiday from the UK, as well as unaccompanied luggage.
Here are some examples of prices to send a parcel to the Maldives. We have many options, so for a personalised quote please enter the weight of your item into the quote box below.
Currently the vast majority of the Maldivian economy is dominated by fish processing; in fact, a staggering 90% of their exports are from this industry. In terms of domestic income, the Maldives is heavily dependent on tourism, but this was greatly affected by the tsunami of 2004 which had a great impact on its infrastructure.
If you have a parcel to send to the Maldives, you can compare your options using our courier comparison quote engine and choose a delivery service that matches your time frame and budget.
We always state that it is essential that customers familiarise themselves the local rules of the country you are looking to send a parcel to. Sometimes, however, that customs authority doesn't publish in English their import prohibitions or duties to be paid. In this case, we always suggest that you contact the local authorities for clarification.

Good website and choice of carriers, sent two parcels one arrived next day but the other took 36 hours longer, disappointed with the carrier (DPD), no comms for the parcel that arrived on time but a message re the one that arrived late. Not cheap to use but convenient and both parcels ultimately arrived.
Very quick and efficient service
There communication is second to none and the parcel was delivered in excellent condition and there prices are very reasonable will use again Many Thanks
Easy to book always competitive prices easy to track
