Many US stores either refuse to ship to the Maldives or charge high international fees. Global Shopaholics solves both: sign up for a free US address for the Maldives at our Delaware warehouse, use it at checkout on any US site, and we take care of the rest. Your parcels are logged and photographed on arrival, combined into one shipment to save on weight, and sent to Malé, Hulhumalé or any city in the Maldives by DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS.

Maldives Customs Service charges import duty according to the tariff of each item, and Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies to imports. Parcels are cleared on arrival in Malé before onward delivery to the islands. Duties and taxes are not included in our shipping rates.
Extra charges apply to perfume. Lithium batteries, aerosols and liquids need special handling. Items banned by the carrier or by customs in the Maldives can't be shipped; see our FAQs for prohibited items or read how it works.
Delivery takes 3 to 15 days, depending on the carrier service you choose: DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS, all with tracking. Standard processing takes 4–5 working days once you request shipment. Shipping costs to the Maldives depend on the billed weight of your consolidated box and the carrier you choose. We deliver to Malé, Hulhumalé, Addu City, Fuvahmulah and Kulhudhuffushi.
Free storage is 30 days on Basic, 180 on Premium (US$9.99/month) and 210 on Business (US$14.99/month), and paid plans earn 2% or 3% cashback. Get an instant quote in the shipping calculator for the Maldives or compare our subscription plans.
