Introduction
These Terms and Conditions ("T&Cs") govern the services provided by Maltashopper for the collection, transportation, local delivery, and assembly of furniture orders from Mondo Convenienza ("MC"). By using our services, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following terms.
Throughout these T&Cs, a "pickup" means all the goods we collect from MC for you on one occasion. Several MC order numbers issued for one purchase and collected together count as one pickup. Goods ordered and collected on separate occasions are separate pickups and are charged separately.
Services and Charges
Collection and Transport Service
-
Cost: The charge for the Collection and Transport Service is the greater of (a) 20% of the value of the MC order before any discounts or promotions, or (b) €140 per cubic metre of goods, subject to a minimum fee of €250 per pickup.
-
Volume: The volume is estimated by Maltashopper from the dimensions shown on the MC order confirmation, allowing for packaging. Where a bulky item shows no dimensions, Maltashopper may ask the customer for them before issuing the quote. The quote issued on the basis of the MC order confirmation is final; goods are not re-measured at collection.
-
Collection in Malta: Collection from Maltashopper's Mqabba warehouse is free of charge.
-
Local Delivery (optional): Home delivery in Malta is charged at €35 per cubic metre of goods (minimum one cubic metre), ground floor only.
-
Storage fees: Once we notify you that your goods have arrived at our Mqabba warehouse, please collect them or select your delivery date by the deadline stated in that notification. After the deadline, a storage fee of 10% of the value of the goods still awaiting collection or delivery applies per week — no minimum, and only while the awaiting goods together weigh more than 7 kg. The fee is added every week until the outstanding fees are paid and the goods are collected or a delivery date is selected; goods are released only once the fees are settled. If the accumulated storage fees reach the value of the awaiting goods, those goods are cancelled and their value is used to settle the fees, with no refund due. Storage arrangements agreed with us before the deadline pause the fees. Full policy: Storage fees for orders awaiting delivery or collection.
