Ordering process
How do I place an order?
To get started, choose the REGISTER option located at the top right of our website and set up an account. Explore our entire product selection and add the desired items to your shopping cart. When you're ready to complete your purchase, indicate whether you'd like to PICKUP your items or have them DELIVERED, and provide your information on the following page. If the products you want are in stock, you can expect a brief to no waiting period.
Can I make changes to my order after I've paid?
Sadly, we’re unable to modify your order once we’ve started processing it. If you need to order a greater quantity or an additional product, please place a new order online.
What if products are out of stock?
It's possible that certain items may be unavailable. Please note that IKEA, BRICOCENTER etc are highly popular in Sicily, with hundreds of visitors daily, so the availability of items on their websites, though as near as possible to accurate ,may vary. As a third-party provider, we cannot access this information until the goods arrive at our warehouse.
We will send you an Order Update email after each shipment is received. Please rest assured that we collect goods twice a week and make every effort to deliver them to you as quickly as possible.
If an item is out of stock in, it will be back-ordered until you decide to cancel it or until it is no longer sold by the supplier. In either case, the full amount for these items will be credited to your account.
Is the price on your website the total price I have to pay?
Yes. The price listed on our website is the final price you'll pay for each item. The only extra charge that would be added at checkout would be the local delivery charge if you opted for us to deliver the goods to your home or office.
Do you offer volume discounts? What is Maltashopper FAMILY?
While we genuinely wish we could offer a further reduction, I'm afraid we can't extend beyond the Maltashopper Family price point, which already represents our lowest possible rate.

Can I place an order without creating an account?
Yes. You can place an order as a guest with no obligation to create an account. We do recommend that you create an account, however, if you’d like to check your order history and have your shopping basket items and payment details saved for next time. It’s quick and easy to create an account. Just visit account.maltashopper.com and follow the instructions on-screen.
Where is my order confirmation?
This is automatically sent to your email address when you place an order. If you haven’t received your order confirmation within 24 hours, please get in touch at sales@maltashopper.com just in case there’s a problem with your order. Please check your mailbox’s spam or junk folder before contacting in case the order confirmation has been diverted there.
Why has my order been canceled?
We typically only cancel orders if there’s a problem with stock, or if you’ve asked us to cancel. Please accept our apologies if your order is canceled because of a problem at our end. We’ll always offer an alternative product and process your refund in full, as quickly as possible.
How do I cancel my order?
There is only a short amount of time between when you place your order and when we start processing it. If you contact us straight away after ordering, via sales@maltashopper.com, we may be able to cancel your order before it’s processed. If not, we’ll despatch your order and then you can return it to us if you wish upon receiving it.
In the EU you have the right to return purchases made online or through other types of distance selling, such as by phone, mail order or from a door-to-door salesperson, within 14 days for a full refund. You can do so for any reason – even if you simply changed your mind.
The 14-day cooling off period does not apply to all purchases. Some of the exemptions are:
- plane and train tickets, as well as concert tickets, hotel bookings, car rental reservations and catering services for specific dates
- goods and drinks delivered to you by regular delivery – for example delivery by a milkman
- goods made to order or clearly personalised – such as a tailor-made suit
- sealed audio, video or computer software, such as DVDs, which you have unsealed upon receipt
- online digital content, if you have already started downloading or streaming it and you agreed that you would lose your right of withdrawal by starting the performance
- goods bought from a private individual rather than a company/trader
- urgent repairs and maintenance contracts – if you call a plumber to repair a leaking shower, you can't cancel the work once you have agreed on the price of the service
Please note that this list is not exhaustive.
The cooling off period expires 14 days after the day you received your goods. For service contracts, the cooling off period expires 14 days after the day you concluded the contract. If the cooling off period expires on a non-working day, your deadline is extended till the next working day.
These rights apply to bona-fide consumers ONLY.
HOW TO CANCEL A PURCHASE
You must tell via email Maltashopper that you want to cancel your purchase. It is not enough just to send the goods back.
You must return the goods back within 14 days of them being delivered to you.
Maltashopper reserves the right to charge you a 50% restocking fee that will be deducted from your refund that covers our costs of returning your goods to the overseas supplier.
You don't have to pay any other charges that you were not informed of.
If you order any items that were "made to measure" or designed and ordered specifically for you (such as kitchens, wardrobes etc), then these CAN NOT BE CANCELED.
Can I change my order?
Sadly, we’re unable to modify your order once we’ve started processing it. If you need to order a greater quantity or an additional product, please place a new order online.
How can I track my order?
We’ll provide a tracking link soon after your order is paid. It is kept updated at every stage of your order, from the moment you place it, through to despatch and delivery.

Products
Can I get my product personalized?
It depends on the creator and the product. All options are outlined on the product page, so look out for customization options there.
Can you help me design my rooms?
IKEA has a number of online tools that allow you to design your own space online. You can find the link here.
We do offer design services for kitchens and wardrobes: https://maltashopper.com/pages/personalised-design-solutions
If you would like us to help with a wardrobe/kitchen design, the design fees are as follow:
Wardrobe Design Fee: EUR100
Kitchen Design Fee: EUR100
Feel free to drop an email on sales@maltashopper.com with all the necessary measurements, plans, and your requirements that we would need to create your design. You can send your design fee to us via Bank Transfer/Cheque/Cash or even using your Visa/Mastercard in store. Designs can take around 3 working days to be completed. As soon as the design is finished, we will be able to send the design to you by email and you ask to have any readjustments made where needed.
• Please note that the price is per 3D design. We are not able to send any 3D designs via email unless the fee has been settled.
The IKEA product codes on the products I received do not match the original codes I ordered... what does this mean?
It's important to note that the combinations of items displayed in IKEA's catalogue are made up of several products that are sold separately, each with their own availability. Maltashopper has to deconstruct these combination codes ordered by clients as IKEA only provides us with individual items. You can check at the bottom of each page whether the code you are ordering consists of individual products or not.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes, we do. These are issued electronically by email and each contains a unique reference number. Our gift vouchers are ideal if you’re not sure what to get that special person in your life. Simply buy a gift voucher instead for the value of €25, €50, €100, €250, €1000.

What happens if I cancel my order because the item is now available at a reduced price or part of an offer?
While we understand that price changes can occur, frequently cancelling orders to take advantage of lower prices later can disrupt our operations.
