Mayotte: disruptions to parcel delivery
Updated: 04/28/2025
The island of Mayotte is currently undergoing reconstruction following the passage of cyclone Chido, which is leading to a significant increase in delivery times. In this context, delivery times can be up to 6 weeks for priority parcels and letters, and up to 10 weeks for economy parcels.

Processing delays
Updated: 03/31/2025
We are experiencing an influx of parcels coupled with a temporary reduction in our logistical capacity in our warehouse in France, resulting in a delay in the processing of your parcels.
An additional delay compared to normal delivery times is to be expected.
Please be assured that our team remains mobilized to guarantee the best possible quality of service.
⚠️ There is no need to contact our customer service department for parcels delivered to the warehouse or awaiting dispatch: these will be processed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions about a parcel that has already been reshipped, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your confidence in us
Belgium: blockades due to strikes
Updated: 02/16/2025
The national mobilisation against the government, scheduled for Thursday 13 February, has led to blockades at several sorting centres. These strike actions are currently affecting Wallonia and various sectors, in particular the Liège and Charleroi sorting centres.
As a result, delays are expected in international parcel shipments. ColisExpat uses sorting centres in Belgium via the BPost network. Although the number of parcels transiting through Belgium is relatively limited, some shipments pass through this country before being forwarded internationally.
For the moment, no impact has been observed in Flanders.
Mayotte: Cyclone Chido
Update date: 02/11/2025
La Poste (Colissimo) has announced that it will resume sending mail and parcels to and from Mayotte from 14 January, one month after the passage of cyclone Chido. However, customers will have to contact the distribution platforms to receive their mail, pending the gradual resumption of delivery.
DLH has still not resumed its services to Mayotte. No official date has been announced for the resumption of deliveries, and customers are invited to follow the official updates for further information on the resumption of parcel deliveries.
