If you’re considering purchasing IKEA products, you might be wondering whether to order directly from IKEA and use a freight forwarder, or to buy through Maltashopper. Here’s why Maltashopper is the smarter choice:
1. All-Inclusive Pricing – No Hidden Costs
When you order through Maltashopper, you receive a final price upfront, covering:
✅ Transport & delivery
✅ VAT & customs duties
✅ No hidden fees
Freight forwarders, on the other hand, often come with unexpected extra costs, such as:
❌ Customs clearance fees
❌ Additional shipping/storage charges
❌ Surprise taxes & duties
With Maltashopper, what you see is what you pay, no surprises!
2. Hassle-Free Ordering Process
Ordering from IKEA + a freight forwarder means handling multiple steps:
1️⃣ Placing an order on IKEA’s website
2️⃣ Arranging a freight forwarder for collection
3️⃣ Dealing with customs paperwork & import duties
4️⃣ Handling missing or damaged items on your own
With Maltashopper, we take care of everything from order placement to delivery!
3. Faster & Reliable Delivery
🚚 Maltashopper runs regular shipments from Catania, ensuring quick, predictable delivery.
⏳ Freight forwarders consolidate shipments, often leading to delays & longer wait times.
By ordering through Maltashopper, your IKEA products arrive sooner and with fewer hassles!
4. Guaranteed Product Handling & Inspection
When using a freight forwarder, your order passes through multiple hands, increasing the risk of:
❌ Damaged goods
❌ Missing items
❌ Incorrect deliveries
With Maltashopper, our team personally inspects your order before shipping, ensuring you receive the correct items in perfect condition.
5. Dedicated Customer Support
If something goes wrong with a direct IKEA order, dealing with returns & replacements can be a nightmare especially when using a freight forwarder.
With Maltashopper, you get:
✅ Direct support for damaged or missing items
✅ Order tracking & updates
✅ An easy returns process
We’re here to help at every step! 💙
6. No Need for an Italian Shipping Address
IKEA Italy often requires a local Italian shipping address, which means you’d need to arrange a freight forwarder separately.
✅ Maltashopper eliminates this problem we handle everything from ordering to delivery in Malta.
7. Easy Returns & Issue Resolution
Returning an item via a freight forwarder can be difficult & expensive, as you may need to pay return shipping yourself.
With Maltashopper, returns for defective or incorrect items are:
✅ Easier & hassle-free
✅ Handled directly by our team

By choosing Maltashopper, you get:
✅ Transparent pricing no hidden fees
