Best Online Shops That Deliver Fast in Cyprus: Skroutz, Public, Bazaraki, Amazon and More

The quickest online orders in Cyprus come from shops that already have the goods on the island or in Greece and deliver to a parcel locker near you. Start with Skroutz.cy to compare prices across thousands of shops, use BOX NOW or Skroutz Point lockers so you never miss a courier, and remember that anything shipped from outside the EU, including the UK, now costs more because of a €3 duty per item category introduced on 1 July 2026.

You will be in good company: in 2025, 76% of people in Cyprus shopped online, on average about twice a month. Here is where to buy, how delivery works and what it really costs.

Which online shops deliver fastest in Cyprus?

Delivery times and charges depend on the seller and the product, and are shown at checkout. If speed matters, filter for items in stock in Cyprus, or pick them up in store.

How does Skroutz work in Cyprus?

Skroutz started in Athens in 2005 and has operated in Cyprus since 2022. Its Cyprus site lists more than 28 million products from around 8,000 partner shops, so it is the easiest way to check whether a "deal" is really cheaper elsewhere. Many products can be bought directly on Skroutz, which handles delivery and returns.

• Delivery cost: standard shipping to Cyprus averages about €5 per order.
• Skroutz Points: lockers where you collect parcels when it suits you. The first opened in Larnaca in September 2025, followed by Nicosia, and the network kept growing into 2026; there were 36 Points with 95 lockers by early 2026.
• Skroutz Plus: launched in Cyprus in July 2026 at €9.99 a month. Members get free delivery to a Skroutz Point on orders of €40 or more (up to 5 kg), free home delivery from €60, €5 off parcels over 5 kg and unlimited free returns.

Skroutz Plus pays off if you place an order of €40 or more most months; otherwise the standard delivery charge is usually cheaper.

What are parcel lockers and which ones can you use?

Lockers are the simplest way to avoid missed deliveries if you work during the day or live in a building without a concierge.

BOX NOW

BOX NOW has delivered in Cyprus since 2023. Its solar-powered lockers stand outside supermarkets, petrol stations, convenience stores and car parks, are open 24/7 and keep working during power cuts. In early 2025 it had 125 lockers covering the six main towns, 30 smaller towns and rural areas, and more than 600 e-shops, including Temu, Public, Cosmos Sport, JD Sports and Hondos Center, delivered through it. Shoppers can often collect the next day.

• A parcel stays in the locker for at least 24 hours, and you can extend this by another 24 hours on the tracking page.
• With "Pay on the go" you can pay for some e-shop orders online through Viva Wallet once the parcel reaches the locker.
• You can also send parcels between lockers within Cyprus from €2.

Find your nearest one with the locker finder and choose it at checkout.

Cyprus Post Parcel24

Parcels arriving by post can be redirected free of charge to a Parcel24 locker in your district through Cyprus Post's "Delivery Choice" service, as long as the parcel carries your mobile number or email and is not held for a customs check. Items waiting at a post office can be collected within 30 days of the notice. Details are on the Cyprus Post receiving items FAQ.

Can you order from Amazon in Cyprus?

Yes. Many expats order from Amazon's European sites, such as amazon.de, amazon.it or amazon.fr. Enter your Cyprus address before you browse: the site then shows whether each item can be sent to Cyprus and what delivery costs. Sellers vary, so check who ships the item.

Where the parcel ships from matters more than the website:

So Amazon UK, US-based sellers and platforms such as Temu, Shein and AliExpress all count as non-EU. Our guide to sending parcels to and from Cyprus explains customs clearance in detail.

What does the €3 duty mean for Temu, Shein and other non-EU orders?

From 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2028 the old duty exemption for parcels worth €150 or less no longer applies. Instead, a flat €3 duty is charged for each type of item, based on its customs classification:

• Five identical T-shirts in one parcel: €3.
• A T-shirt, a pair of shoes and a bag: €9.
• VAT at 19% is then charged on the value including the duty. If the seller is registered for the EU's Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS), the VAT is collected at checkout.
• The duty is not refunded if you return the item simply because you changed your mind; it is only refunded for faulty goods or goods that do not match the order.
• Private gifts worth €45 or less sent between individuals remain exempt.

In July 2026, the first month, Cyprus collected almost €2 million from 160,000 parcels containing 650,000 chargeable items, an average of just over €12 per parcel. If your basket has many different small items, buying from an EU shop is often cheaper overall.

Is it safe to buy on Bazaraki?

Bazaraki is a Cyprus classifieds website and app where people list second-hand goods, cars, flats to rent and more. It is a meeting place, not a shop: you deal with the seller directly and arrange collection or delivery yourselves. Some sensible rules:

1. Meet in a public place and check the item works before you pay.
2. Never send a deposit for a flat or an item you have not seen in person.
3. Be wary of prices far below the market and of sellers who push you to move the chat elsewhere or pay by link.
4. Remember that EU consumer rights (below) protect you when buying from a business, not from a private individual.

For more ways to buy pre-loved, see our guide to second-hand shops, charity shops and flea markets.

What are your rights when you buy online?

When you buy online from a business based in the EU, including Cypriot shops:

• 14 days to cancel without giving a reason, counted from the day you receive the goods. Exceptions include perishable goods, made-to-order or personalised items, opened audio, video or software, and travel or event bookings.
• A two-year legal guarantee from delivery. If the item is faulty, the seller must repair or replace it free of charge, or give a full or partial refund if that is not possible. For faults that appear in the first year, the seller has to prove the fault was not there at delivery.

Check the shop's terms for who pays return postage. If a Cypriot shop will not cooperate, you can complain to the Consumer Protection Service.

Tips for faster, cheaper deliveries

• Use a locker rather than home delivery if you are out during the day.
• Add your mobile number and email to every orderSo you get locker codes and courier updates, and Cyprus Post can redirect parcels to a locker.
• Compare on Skroutz firstThen check whether the same shop offers free click and collect.
• Avoid big non-EU baskets of many different items: the €3 duty is charged per item category.
• Shop early for Christmas and Black FridayWhen couriers are busiest; see our Black Friday in Cyprus guide.
