Hello,

I'd like to ask what companies you use to send parcels from the UK to Malta and how much it is.

Thanks,
Jitka

UK post office, UPS or Malta post, as for cost it depends on the size / weight / cost of the item. Most of the companies have an on line calculator so you can work out what is best for you.

the new maltapost system works well, especially for large (but light) packages, as their charge is based on weight not volume :-)

How can you pay Maltapost for each parcel forwarded? In Maltapost website by credit card / bank debit or it has to be paid in person by cash?

Cod.

I must check youshopweship, no idea about the prices on that service nor whether online payment is accepted or not.

I also found this one (works with online payments):

Boxnotch is another one that specialises in uk to malta....as its there only destination for now

Myrkur

You pay upon delivery. Once Maltapost receive the package in UK they email you (or a few days after can't remember) with the cost of shipping it to Malta, which you have to pay when you go pick it up at the post office

Interesting to know although this seems to be the most expensive one

Myrkur

I also remember an email from Paypal where I think they could set up 3 addresses for you - US, UK and China..
