Packing and shipping goods leaving Guildford for Malta is one job, not three suppliers. We survey it, pack it properly, arrange the right shipping method, and manage it through to delivery.
We collect across Guildford and the surrounding areas, including Guildford, Godalming, Cranleigh, Shere and Ash.
From Guildford the load runs via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then France and Italy to a Sicilian port, then the Malta ferry, then a short island road leg to the delivery address. Typical transit into Malta is 6–8 days.
Guide prices start at £195, and the final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.

Collecting in Guildford
Business collections are routine in Guildford Town Centre, Surrey Research Park and Slyfield Industrial, where loading windows and access rules are usually the deciding factor rather than the goods themselves.
Our route out of Guildford uses A3, A31 and A25, which is why we can give you a realistic departure time rather than a vague window.
If your address is near Guildford Cathedral, Guildford Castle and University of Surrey, tell us — parking and access there shape the vehicle we send.

How we pack before anything leaves
Packing happens at your Guildford address, not at a depot. Materials are selected for the item and for the ferry or tunnel crossing ahead of it.
- Survey of the item before we quote so the packing spec is right first time
- Double-wall cartons, edge protection and corner boards for rigid goods
- Foam, bubble and blanket wrap chosen by material, not by habit
- Palletising and strapping where the load benefits from it
The route to Malta
Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then France and Italy to a Sicilian port, then the Malta ferry, then a short island road leg to the delivery address. That is roughly 1,650 road miles from London to Valletta, adjusted for your Guildford collection point.
Malta is in the EU, so an export declaration and Maltese import entry apply. The Sicily–Malta ferry is scheduled, which fixes the final delivery window.
Delivering in Malta
Maltese streets are narrow and many apartments are upper floor without a lift. Access detail is essential before quoting.

Will you pack everything for me?
Yes. We arrive with cartons, foam, blankets, boards and strapping and pack at your address. If you have already packed and want us to check the work before export, we will do that instead and tell you honestly whether it will survive the journey.
