About courier services in Malta
Courier services in Malta collect and deliver documents, parcels and online orders across Malta, over to Gozo and sometimes abroad through partner networks. Some run vans or motorbikes on set routes, others take urgent jobs on request. Businesses use them for regular deliveries, while individuals send the odd item or return something bought online.
Timing drives most choices. A same-day run, a next-day slot and a weekly scheduled route are different services with different prices. Deliveries to Gozo depend on the ferry, and parcels leaving the EU need customs details. Tell the courier your deadline first. For furniture or a house move, a removals service is the better fit.
Prices depend on size and weight, distance, speed, the number of drops, whether a signature or cash on delivery is needed, and Gozo or overseas destinations. Regular business volumes are often priced differently from one-off sends. Ask what happens if nobody is home, and whether the item is insured while they have it.

Good to know in Malta
- Under the Postal Services Act (Cap. 254), postal services are the clearance, sorting, transport and distribution of postal articles, which include parcels and packages containing goods. Transport alone is not counted as a postal service. Source
- A person may only provide or operate a postal service in Malta if authorised as a postal operator under the Act. The authority under the Act is the Malta Communications Authority, and services outside the universal service are provided under a general authorisation notified to it. Source
Questions
How much does a courier cost in Malta?
It depends on the size and weight, how quickly it must arrive, the distance and the destination. A same-day run costs more than a next-day slot, and Gozo or overseas adds to it. Signatures, cash on delivery and insurance can be extras. For regular sends, ask for a business rate based on your volume, and get the price per drop in writing.
Can I send a parcel from Malta to Gozo?
Yes, a number of couriers cover both islands. Ask whether they cross every day or on set days, the cut-off for next-day delivery, and how they handle bulky boxes. Give the full Gozo address and a phone number, since village addresses can be hard to find. For furniture or large items, a removals service is the better choice.
Can a courier send a parcel from Malta to the UK?
Many couriers in Malta send abroad through international partners. The UK is outside the EU, so goods going there need customs details such as a description and the value of the contents. Ask the courier which forms they need, who pays any duty at the other end, how long delivery takes and how you can track it.
How do I check a courier before I use them?
Ask how they track parcels and what proof of delivery you get, then try them with one send that is not urgent. Ask about insurance and what happens if an item is lost or damaged. For postal items, you can ask whether they are authorised as a postal operator with the Malta Communications Authority. Tminta does not check couriers.
