Frequently asked questions
Why is Malta so expensive when it is in the EU?
Because it is an island in the middle of the Mediterranean — all parcels must travel by air. Air freight has fixed costs regardless of volume, so even a "cheap" carrier charges 2× more than for continental Europe. DHL Express rates are comparable to the Balkans.
