Good to know for Malta
- Currency
- Malta uses the euro, the same currency these stores price in, so the figure at checkout is the figure you pay — no conversion and no exchange-rate guesswork.
- Language
- English is an official language on the island, which helps even though the stores run in their own tongue — Amazon.it in Italian, Amazon.de in German (with an English interface available), Amazon.fr in French and Amazon.es in Spanish.
- Delivery
- Because Amazon.it is the nearest store, parcels to Malta tend to arrive fairly promptly, though sea crossings to an island can add a little time compared with the mainland.
Which Amazon stores deliver to Malta?
Amazon.it is Malta's nearest store and a natural first stop, while Amazon.de is the long-time favourite thanks to its English-language interface and support. Amazon.fr and Amazon.es also ship across, so it pays to compare all four.
Which Amazon is cheapest for Malta?
There's no single winner — the cheapest store changes by product. Amazon.it is closest and often quick, but Amazon.de, Amazon.fr or Amazon.es can undercut it on any given item. Compare them side by side before you buy.
VAT and customs when ordering to Malta
Malta is in the EU single market, so ordering from another EU Amazon store means no customs duties, and the price you see at checkout already includes Maltese VAT. Amazon swaps the seller's local VAT for Malta's rate automatically. Only Amazon.co.uk sits outside the EU and may add import VAT or handling.
