Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the delivery service, citing issues such as damaged, lost, or missing packages, and frequent instances of failed deliveries despite customers being home. People also reported that delivery attempts were often made only once, sometimes to closed offices on weekends, and that notices of failed deliveries were not always left. Some people were dissatisfied with the overall service, particularly regarding the lack of communication about delivery times and the difficulty in reaching customer service by phone. However, some reviewers did have positive experiences, praising the efficiency and dedication of certain postal workers and noting that their orders arrived promptly. A few customers also found the service to be good, with packages often delivered the day after arriving in Malta, though they wished for estimated delivery times.

Several issues

Lately we have been having several issues with the post including missing letters, missing packages from abroad, packages received empty or even a package that was opened but at least it contained the ordered item. Yesterday I even picked up a package from a man living two streets away cause it was posted there! Contacted customer care by phone and by email but nothing changed!

Just a follow up from my previous…

Just a follow up from my previous review. The items shipped from Uk with the priority mail finally showed up and after complaining bitterly, Maltapost offered me a €10 discount voucher in compensation. I also received another item ordered with Priority mail in under a week!

Malta post is worthless

Malta post is worthless. I send packages to the flat I rent there from UPS, FedEx and DHL and they arrive, yet with Malta post, they can't even find the address in Msida to deliver mail from their own banks. They are worse than a 3rd world country. They also employ the most incompetent people. Who hires people that don't even know what their job is? They are actually telling me to go to their main office because they are so lazy to deliver an envelope from the bank. I think BOV and Malta post compete for most unreliable and worst companies in Malta.

I need to advise everyone to not use…

I need to advise everyone to not use the SendOn Service, especially from the US. Not only is the customer service terrible, but I also sent 4 emails before going to their live chat and even there they weren't helpful. I ended up speaking to a manager that was patronizing and didn't offer any answers. Every time I speak to someone the number of days for shipping get longer, 15, 20, 25 they really have no clue what they're doing. Now here's the kicker, I'm fine with the wait time.

But they don't offer a tracking service? What the hell?? Every carrier offers you the ability in 2019 to track your package from origin to destination. Nope not Malta Post, not only do you have to wait longer, than most other carriers. Seriously I've had packages from Asia arrive quicker, you can't even track your progress. So you're just left for about a month wondering what's happening and if it'll arrive. I don't understand the lack of this function.

Most importantly it's not advertised that way and since every other carrier provides this, it's become standard practice, it SHOULD be advertised that it is not provided. Overall there are other companies that for a little more provide a better service, that will get here much quicker and doesn't leave you with the stress. Seriously this was a gift for someone and they've totally ruined it. Trust Malta to take a great service and ruined it with its usual incompetence.

Seriously save your TIME and MONEY and don't use this service, I regret it and I'm suck in limbo.

Overall satisfied with service recieved, please just sortout the SendOn U.K. priority hub.

I have been using the Malta Post SendOn service extensively, so far all my parcels have arrived in good order and a reasonable time using the U.K. standard hub. However, avoid the U.K. priority hub at all cost. Parcels seem to get "stuck" there. Item was delivered on the 10th of December 2018 and still has not been processed. Had numerous delays with this priority hub. Parcels from standard arrive before the priority hub. Premium price for substandard service.
