Hey there,

I'm planning to move to Malta in a few months, right now I live in France, and I'm used to buy quite a lot of what I need from the Internet.

I wondered if let's say Amazon for exemple offered delivery to Malta. If it is possible, could you tell me which version to use (.co.uk, .it, etc) ? Oh and what are the shipping rates and delay ?

If Amazon isn't avaiable, is there any Maltese, or other international alternative I could use ?

Thanks everyone

Amazon deliver to Malta, although not all the sellers do but direct from Amazon for sure and you can use the UK site. I've had things delivered in 2 days from Amazon. I did all my Christmas shopping online from various UK sites. Only hiccup I had was this end with delivery (posted the notification of delivery in wrong letter box.) Tesco's is a very good service and a one fee of 10 euro for delivery on unlimited items.
There is also a company here called Trotters Independent (based in Malta,) who will pick up anything you want from anywhere in England and is very good for big items. A similar deal for Ikea in Sicily too.

They actually deliver to your house OR you can opt for delivery to a post office of your choice.

I tend to use EBAY and rarely have a problem with delivery to Malta.
