So far, MyMalls is still able to deliver packages. However, this may be subject to change depending on the ordinances that are continuously implemented in the countries we operate in. Still, our goal is (and has always been) to ship and handle all packages safely as well as timely. We therefore, kindly ask you to bare with us as we are trying to navigate the new reality we find ourselves in.

CUSTOMER AND EMPLOYEE SAFETY

Our head office has adopted new measures in order to comply with the government mandates of social distancing by working from home.

Protecting our employees from exposure to and infection with coronavirus COVID-19 is one of our foremost concerns.
