MPD - safe, affordable & reliable
Found in the Caribbean Sea, Dominica is a mountainous island within the Lesser Antilles region. With a burgeoning tourist industry but a lack of natural resources, it is a country with a slow growing economy. Boasting a year round tropical climate, indigenous birds and wonderful national parks, it’s easy to see why tourism is slowly becoming a key earner. A poor nation, the volcanic nation doesn’t have a disparity in wealth and a lack of infrastructure means it can’t yet welcome high numbers of visitors. The need to diversify the economy is great though because banana production currently employs more than a third of the work force. Other exports include soap, bay oil, vegetables, grapefruit and oranges which has helped to grow demand for parcel delivery to Dominica.

There are 4,158 miles of ocean to cross if you wish to send a parcel to Dominica from the UK. The capital of Roseau, on the south-west coast, with its near 17,000 population is the largest city on the island and the main destination for items. Other areas include Portsmouth, Marigot, Berekua, Mahaut, Sait Joseph, Wesley, Soufrière, Salisbury and Castle Bruce. Postcodes are not used for delivery services in Dominica and transport links are found in the form of a couple of airports and a few hundred miles of a road network across the small island.
