Groceries and Cypriot food
Ship from Alphamega Hypermarkets
The island's largest hypermarket chain, with an online grocery shop that carries the Cypriot staples — halloumi, anari, village bread, carob syrup, Cyprus coffee, local wine and spirits.
What people order
- Cyprus pantry staples
- Coffee and spices
- Preserves and honey
- Dry goods
- Household
This is the diaspora order: the things that taste like home and are either unavailable abroad or sold at three times the price in a specialist shop.

What this kind of order costs to forward
Dry goods travel well and are usually dense enough to price on real weight. Glass is the thing to watch — jars of honey and carob syrup are heavy, breakable and leak over everything else in the box if they go. Ask for fragile wrap on any order with glass in it; it is cheaper than losing the shipment.

Free, and it takes a minute. You get a Limassol street address with your own suite number — a real commercial address, not a PO box.
- 2
Order from Alphamega Hypermarkets as normal
Use your suite address at the checkout and pay with your own card. The shop delivers domestically, which is the cheap leg.

We weigh it, you choose how it flies
We photograph and measure everything that arrives, show you Cyprus Post against live courier rates for your exact weight, and send it on. Hold parcels with us and we will consolidate them first.

Questions
- Can I order from Alphamega Hypermarkets if I do not live in Cyprus?
- Yes. You take a free Limassol address with your own suite number, use it at Alphamega Hypermarkets's checkout like any Cypriot customer, and we forward the parcel on to you once it reaches our warehouse.
- What does it cost to ship from Alphamega Hypermarkets?
- It depends on weight and destination rather than on the shop. Dry goods travel well and are usually dense enough to price on real weight. Glass is the thing to watch — jars of honey and carob syrup are heavy, breakable and leak over everything else in the box if they go. Ask for fragile wrap on any order with glass in it; it is cheaper than losing the shipment. Opening the account is free and you pay only when you ship.
- Can I combine Alphamega Hypermarkets orders with other parcels?
- Yes, and it is usually where the saving is. Postage is front-loaded — the first kilo costs more than the next four together — so one box of several orders beats several boxes, even when the combined weight is the same.
- Is there anything from Alphamega Hypermarkets you cannot send?
- Food is where the rules bite. Most countries outside the EU refuse dairy and meat outright, which rules out halloumi, anari and lountza on those routes, and alcohol is restricted or prohibited on almost every postal service.
