Why Choose Baggage Shipping to Malta with Anglo Pacific?

Malta is a small island nation with a rich cultural history, a growing expat community, and a strategic location in the Mediterranean. Whether you’re heading to the capital, Valletta, or one of the other picturesque towns, shipping your luggage and boxes ahead offers numerous advantages:

 

  • Avoid Excess Baggage Fees: Airlines often charge high fees for excess baggage or oversized luggage. By shipping your luggage and boxes in advance, you can avoid these extra costs and travel without the burden of heavy bags.
  • Travel Light: Shipping your personal items ahead of time allows you to travel lighter. Instead of hauling several bags through airports, you can focus on your journey while your belongings are on their way to Malta.
  • Simplify Customs Clearance: Malta, being a member of the European Union, has specific customs regulations that may differ from other countries. Our service ensures your belongings comply with EU and Maltese import rules, reducing the risk of delays or complications at customs.

 

With over 20 years of experience shipping to Malta, we understand the specific requirements of both local and international logistics, making your baggage shipping process as smooth as possible.

Save Money and Avoid Airport Hassles

Shipping your luggage to Malta can be more cost-effective and less stressful than dealing with excess baggage at the airport. Here’s why:

  • Predictable Pricing: Unlike airlines that charge by weight, our prices are based on the size of your shipment, giving you a transparent, upfront cost with no hidden fees.
  • Avoid the Crowds: Malta’s main airport, Malta International Airport (MLA), can get crowded, especially during the tourist season. Avoid the hassle of managing bulky or oversized luggage in a busy airport by shipping your items in advance.
  • Timely Delivery: Whether you’re moving to the island’s bustling capital, Valletta, or a quieter area in the countryside, we ensure your luggage and boxes arrive on time, so you can settle in without delay.

 

Luggage Shipping Options to Malta

We offer flexible shipping options to suit your timeline and budget, whether you’re looking for fast delivery or a more economical choice.

  • Air Freight: If time is of the essence, air freight is the fastest shipping method. Air freight typically takes around 5-7 days to reach Malta, making it ideal for urgent shipments or personal items that you need quickly.
  • Sea Freight: Sea freight is the most cost-effective option for larger shipments or non-urgent items. It generally takes around 6-8 weeks for your items to arrive, but this method is perfect for bulkier items or when you don’t need immediate delivery.

With both air and sea freight available, you can choose the best shipping method for your needs.

How Long Does Baggage Shipping to Malta Take?

The time it takes to ship your luggage or boxes to Malta depends on the method you choose:

  • Air Freight: For fast delivery, air freight typically takes 5-7 days. If you need your items in Malta quickly, air freight is the ideal solution.
  • Sea Freight: Sea freight is more affordable, though it takes longer. Expect your items to arrive in Malta within 6-8 weeks, making it a better option for larger shipments or items that are not time-sensitive.

Depending on your needs, you can select the shipping method that works best for your budget and timeline.

 

Shipping Boxes to Malta: Ideal for Larger or Fragile Items

Shipping boxes to Malta is the ideal solution for sending larger or more fragile items. If you’re bringing several household goods or valuables, boxes offer a secure and flexible way to transport your items. Here’s what you need to know about shipping boxes to Malta:

  • Strong, Durable Boxes: Choose double-walled, sturdy boxes to protect your belongings during transit. We provide a range of sizes to fit your shipment.
  • Protect Fragile Items: Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or foam for added protection. Ensure your boxes are packed securely to prevent movement during shipping.
  • Clear Labelling: Make sure to label your boxes clearly with your contact details and destination address. This helps prevent confusion and delays when your items arrive in Malta.

 

Shipping boxes to Malta is ideal if you’re sending larger volumes of personal items or household goods. It’s also a secure way to transport valuable or delicate items.

 

Malta-Specific Considerations for Baggage Shipping

Malta is a small island with a unique set of challenges when it comes to logistics. Its location in the Mediterranean means that goods must often be shipped by sea, which can result in longer delivery times for sea freight. However, the country’s small size makes it easy to navigate, and our delivery network ensures that your items will be transported efficiently, whether you’re moving to the centre of Valletta or a more remote village.

 

Malta’s Mediterranean climate also affects the types of items that can be shipped. For example, shipping items like electronics or furniture may require additional preparation to ensure they are protected from the humid conditions.

Shipping your luggage or boxes to Malta is a practical and efficient way to avoid airport baggage fees and make your move or travel experience more comfortable. Whether you’re sending personal items for an extended stay or shipping household goods as part of your relocation, our baggage shipping service ensures that everything arrives safely, on time, and in compliance with local regulations.

 

Our door-to-door service, packing materials, and expert customs handling take the stress out of shipping. From air freight for fast delivery to sea freight for bulkier, non-urgent items, we offer flexible solutions tailored to your needs.
