Malta Post Delivery Times & Schedule in My Area

Understanding Malta Post delivery times in your area helps you plan for letters, parcels, and online shopping arrivals. MaltaPost p.l.c., the national postal operator since 1998, delivers mail six days a week across Malta and Gozo as the designated universal service provider. With an extensive network of post offices, sub-post offices, and parcel points, it handles both domestic and international items. Knowing your local delivery window and branch hours reduces missed deliveries and makes sending or receiving mail more convenient.

Malta Post Delivery Hours and Times

MaltaPost generally delivers Monday to Saturday, in line with Malta’s standard six-day postal week. Residential deliveries usually take place during daytime business hours, with routes scheduled after mail is sorted at local hubs. For ordinary local mail, MaltaPost aims for next-working-day delivery (J+1) when items are posted before the stated cut-off times. International and parcel services may have different delivery standards. For the latest information and service updates, visit the official homepage at maltapost.com.

How to find Malta Post Near Me / In My Area

To locate a MaltaPost branch, letterbox, or parcel collection point near you, start with the official “Find Closest Post Offices or Letterbox” tool. Go to MaltaPost Branch Network and use the search options to view nearby post offices, sub-post offices, parcel collection points, and Easipik parcel lockers. Each entry typically lists the address, locality, and opening hours so you can plan visits around your schedule.
You can also browse the dedicated pages for Post Offices Opening Hours and Sub Post Offices Opening Hours to see a full list by locality, including Marsa, Valletta, Sliema, Gozo locations and more. If you are unsure which branch serves your address, a quick call to your nearest office or to MaltaPost customer care can confirm the best point for posting, collections, and other services.

Other alternatives include using Google Maps and searching “MaltaPost near me” or “[your town] post office,” checking local notice boards, asking neighbours or businesses which branch they use, or calling MaltaPost customer service to ask which delivery hub and retail outlet covers your street or postcode.

How early and late Malta Post delivers?

MaltaPost delivery rounds usually begin in the morning once mail has been sorted at the local hub and continue into the early or mid-afternoon, depending on route length and volume. In busy urban areas, delivery may extend later in the day, while smaller or rural localities may have more compact rounds. Sunday and public-holiday deliveries are not typical, except for specific services or exceptional circumstances. Exact times vary by area, so observing your carrier’s usual pattern gives the best indication.

Is Malta Post delivery time accurate?

MaltaPost’s delivery times are service standards rather than strict guarantees, especially for ordinary mail. Many local letters and parcels arrive within the expected next-day or advertised timeframe, but traffic, weather, operational issues, and international customs checks can cause variation. Tracking services and online calculators give more precise estimates for priority parcels and international shipments.

Can I pick up Malta Post package before delivery?

In many cases, you can collect a parcel directly from MaltaPost if it has reached the local office or parcel collection point but has not yet gone out on the delivery round. First, check your item’s status using the official Track Your Item tool at maltapost.com/tracking. If tracking shows “at local office,” “arrived at parcel collection point,” or a similar scan, contact that branch or visit in person with your tracking number and identification. If a delivery attempt has already been made, your notice slip will specify where and when the item can be collected.

How to Change Malta Post Delivery Address

If you are moving home or relocating your business, MaltaPost offers a mail redirection service that forwards postal items from your old address to a new one for a chosen period. This is the safest way to “change” your delivery address for incoming mail. To apply, download or obtain the “Redirection of Postal Articles” form and submit it in person at any post office with your ID and supporting documents. Online address-change tools are not currently common, so in-branch applications are standard. Full details and forms are available via the Redirection of Mail section on maltapost.com/redirection-of-mail.

Why is my Malta Post delivery late/delayed?

Delays can occur for a variety of reasons: incomplete or unclear addresses, high seasonal volume, adverse weather, roadworks or traffic, operational issues at sorting hubs, or customs inspections for inbound international parcels. Incorrect postcodes and missed delivery attempts also add time. Checking online tracking, reviewing the address used, and contacting your local post office are the best ways to understand and resolve a delay.
