I believe that kind soul here posted the details of a part EU funded site that had 4 european hubs for the purpose of shipping goods that had been bought on-line for forwarding to Malta.

I cant find the link anymore聽 and I think I am wearing out google.

Please repost.

Hello brayster99,

Here's the link to forum Malta; category "removal".

It might help or else I am sure some members will come fast to help.

Of course feel free to ask any question.

See you around,
Melissa

Do you mean just online shopping as opposed to removals? There is forward2me and I think Malta Post also run something similar. I got a few quotes and in my experience the fee they charge is extortionate and most places do deliver here

Maltapost and the like are a bit expensive but the service is good.

not really its the same group of companies that offer this service and the shopping service. Remember that the main cost of removal services is the nice men who come round and pack up all your stuff and take it away in their van.

If you box/pallet it yourself and deliver it to their warehouse and don't care about things like insurance then shipping is MUCH cheaper.

In my opinion shiplowcost seems to be the better one overall (online payment, lots of hubs, good prices, good delivery time, clear website and online tracking tool). If you prefer to pay by cash and/or the parcel is weight about 0,5kg and 1kg then SendOn. If the parcel is very small (not more than 0,5kg) aircargologistics is the cheapest option.
