Malta → the Netherlands
Buy from Maltese stores and ship to the Netherlands
Maltese retailers that will not deliver to the Netherlands 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
Malta is the other small EU island economy, and buyers there face the same problem our service solves in reverse.
The Netherlands is a major air hub, so onward connections from Cyprus are frequent and transit is dependable.
A typical Malta to the Netherlands shipment
Say you order clothing from Scan, then spot something else at Scan two days later. Both land at your Limassol suite inside 3–7 days. Left as they are, the two retail boxes plus packaging bill as roughly 21.6 kg of volumetric weight on the leg to the Netherlands — 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 the Netherlands
- 7.6 kg
From there it is 3–6 working days by express or 5–12 working days by post to the Netherlands, 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 Malta and have it delivered in the Netherlands?
- Yes. You get a Limassol street address with your own suite number, use it at a Maltese retailer's checkout, and we forward the parcel on to the Netherlands. The retailer only ever ships domestically or within the EU, which is usually the cheap part.
- How long does it take?
- Two legs. 3–7 days for the retailer to reach our warehouse, then 3–6 working days by express or 5–12 working days by post to the Netherlands. 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 the Netherlands 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 the Netherlands?
- Possibly — import duty and taxes are charged by the Netherlands's customs, not by us, and the thresholds change. We show an estimate before you pay rather than guessing. Inside the EU customs union; batteries, aerosols and alcohol remain restricted by air.
- Can I combine several Maltese 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.
Your Cyprus address is ready in about a minute.
Free to open. You only pay when you ship something to the Netherlands.
