How to Shop at IKEA Málaga and Ship Your Orders to Melilla with Logistics Express: Complete Guide

Shopping at IKEA Málaga for your home or business in Melilla is straightforward and convenient when you have a transport and customs service like Logistics Express on your side. This article walks you through the entire process step by step — from purchase to delivery in Melilla — and covers everything you need to know regarding Tax Free, IPSI and customs requirements. Our goal is to provide a complete service that simplifies your shopping experience and ensures your items arrive quickly and safely.

1. Making Your Purchase at IKEA Málaga

  1. Choose your products: Visit IKEA Málaga and select the items you need. You can shop directly in-store or via their website and schedule in-store collection so that Logistics Express can manage the pick-up for you.
  2. Obtain your invoice: IKEA will issue an invoice including VAT. It is important to keep this invoice, as you will need it to claim a VAT refund through the Tax Free scheme.
  3. Request Tax Free to reclaim VAT: Since the goods are destined for Melilla, you can request a VAT refund on export grounds. IKEA should provide you with the Tax Free form at the point of purchase. Make sure the form is fully completed and signed.

2. Collection Coordination with Logistics Express

  1. Collection options: You can choose to have us collect the products from IKEA Málaga, or alternatively coordinate with IKEA to have your purchases delivered directly to our logistics centre in Málaga.
  2. Documentation: Please provide us with a copy of the purchase invoice and the Tax Free form so we can manage the collection and shipping effectively and quickly. These documents are also required for customs processing in Melilla.
  3. Delivery scheduling: Once we confirm the collection, we will send you transport details and an estimated arrival date so you are kept informed of your order status at all times.

3. Export Clearance and Customs Formalities

  1. Managing export clearance: As specialist customs agents, we handle the export clearance to ensure your products meet all legal and customs requirements for leaving the mainland and entering Melilla. This process formally records your goods as exported — an essential step for managing the VAT refund.
  2. Required documentation: In addition to the invoice and the Tax Free form, a DUA (Single Administrative Document) declaration will be required to complete the customs process. Logistics Express manages this document directly.
  3. Payment of freight charges and IPSI: Upon arrival of your goods in Melilla, IPSI (Impuesto sobre la Producción, los Servicios y la Importación) will need to be paid — a mandatory tax in Melilla that depends on the type and declared value of the products. Our team will inform you of the amounts and the payment process so everything is handled smoothly and without complications.

4. Receiving Your Goods in Melilla

  1. Delivery and verification: Once customs formalities and IPSI payment are complete, our team will coordinate delivery of the products to your preferred location within Melilla. Logistics Express checks the goods to ensure everything is in order and that the transport was carried out safely.
  2. Confirmation and after-sales support: We will assist you with any further questions about the process, as well as with confirming the Tax Free status and the documentation needed to claim your VAT refund. Should you need assistance with future purchases, the Logistics Express team is available to guide you through every stage.
