Buy from Italian stores and ship to Malta
Italian retailers that will not deliver to Malta will deliver to Cyprus. Take a free Limassol address with your own suite number, use it at checkout, and we forward the parcel on — consolidated, repacked if it helps, with the customs paperwork done properly.

Why people use a Cyprus address for this
Italian fashion and food retailers ship into Cyprus routinely, and Italy is one of the cheaper EU origins by courier.
Malta is the other EU island economy, and Zone 1 pricing makes it one of the cheapest destinations we serve.
A typical Italy to Malta shipment
Say you order gifts from Unieuro, then spot something else at YOOX two days later. Both land at your Limassol suite inside 4–8 days. Left as they are, the two retail boxes plus packaging bill as roughly 21.6 kg of volumetric weight on the leg to Malta — because carriers charge for the size of the box, not what is in it.
- Three retail boxes, shipped as they arrived
- 21.6 kg billable
- Repacked into one box by our warehouse
- 14.0 kg billable
- Air you stop paying to fly to Malta
- 7.6 kg
From there it is 3–6 working days by express or 5–12 working days by post to Malta, plus clearance. Consolidation costs €5 per extra parcel merged in and repacking €6 — on this lane that is usually recovered several times over.

Questions
- Can I really buy from Italy and have it delivered in Malta?
- Yes. You get a Limassol street address with your own suite number, use it at a Italian retailer's checkout, and we forward the parcel on to Malta. The retailer only ever ships domestically or within the EU, which is usually the cheap part.
- How long does it take?
- Two legs. 4–8 days for the retailer to reach our warehouse, then 3–6 working days by express or 5–12 working days by post to Malta. Customs clearance at the far end sits on top of that.
- What does it cost?
- Opening the account is free and you pay only when you ship. Cyprus Post's published rate to Malta is €20.00 for a 2 kg parcel and €30.94 by EMS; we show those next to live FedEx rates for your exact weight, add a handling margin, and that is the price.
- Will I pay duty in Malta?
- Possibly — import duty and taxes are charged by Malta's customs, not by us, and the thresholds change. We show an estimate before you pay rather than guessing. Inside the EU, so no customs entry; air transport rules on batteries and liquids still apply.
- Can I combine several Italian orders into one shipment?
- That is the part that saves the most money. Carriers bill on volumetric weight, so three half-empty retail boxes can cost far more than one packed properly. Leave the parcels with us and we consolidate them before the onward leg.
