Ordering from Malta

Shipping to Malta: rates, delivery time and customs

Every order from Malta ships as a tracked PostNL parcel from our own stock in Enter, the Netherlands, all the way to your door. This page is everything between "add to cart" and your doorstep — the rate, the delivery time, why there is no customs to pay, how you pay and how a return works. No small print.

The short answer

Shipping: At most €19.70 for games or a handheld console (up to 2 kg, priced by weight), €31.00 for a home console or anything heavier — tracked door to door. A second game adds only a little shipping. Loose Pokémon cards: €8.75 for up to 12, as a tracked letterbox packet.
Delivery: 5-8 business days from the day the parcel leaves, which is the next business day after your order.
Customs: none — Malta and the Netherlands share the EU customs union, so the amount at checkout is the final amount and nothing is due at the door.

All other EU countriesrate at checkout

Rates are based on the official PostNL rates (2026) — Malta is one of the farther EU zones, hence more than a parcel to Germany or France. No customs and no import VAT inside the EU: the amount in your cart is the final amount.

Customs and tax when ordering from Malta

Malta and the Netherlands are both inside the EU customs union: no customs, no import duty and no import VAT — the parcel travels to Malta and Gozo like a domestic one. We sell under the margin scheme, so no VAT is added to the price; the amount at checkout is the final amount and nothing is due on delivery.

From our shelf to your door

1. Packed by hand, next business day

Your order is picked from our own stock in Enter, checked once more, wrapped and boxed — by the same person who tested the cartridge.

2. PostNL international parcel, tracked

The parcel leaves the Netherlands with a tracking number that follows it door to door. Inside the EU there is no customs paperwork at all.

3. No customs on the way

Malta and the Netherlands are in one customs union: no declaration, no import duty and no import VAT. Nothing holds the parcel at a border, and nobody collects anything at the door.

4. Tracked to your door

The same tracking number follows the parcel all the way to your door in Malta — it is in the shipping e-mail, and on the order page of this site.

Will the games and consoles work where you are?

Our games are European PAL editions — the same region as any console sold in Malta and the rest of Europe. Even the region-locked systems (3DS, Wii, Wii U, GameCube, N64, SNES) play them without any trick, and Game Boy, GBC, GBA, DS, Switch, PS4 and PS5 are region-free anyway. The one exception is the NES, which came in two PAL versions that do not start each other’s cartridges — PAL-A (UK, Ireland) and PAL-B (mainland Europe): the product page says which one a copy is, or ask us.

Consoles come with a European power supply (230 V); Maltese mains is 230 V as well. Only the plug differs: the two-pin Europlug needs a simple adapter for the three-pin Type G socket used in Malta — no voltage converter. The Game Boy family runs on batteries anyway.

Shipping questions from Malta

How are the games packed for the journey?

Cartridges and cards travel in a rigid, padded parcel; boxed games and consoles are wrapped and boxed with padding on every side. Every parcel is tracked, and a loose cartridge never travels in a plain envelope.
