TL;DR:
1. It is cheaper to ship a phone from the US to Kenya than to buy locally.
2. It costs anywhere between $50 and $200 to ship a phone from the US to Kenya.
3. Create a free shipping account and enjoy assisted shopping, where we shop and ship on your behalf.

Phones are high-value yet very light and small.

The biggest cost factor that you are going to notice on your invoice is based on the value of your phone. Clearing cost and freight insurance are what make up the phone shipping cost to get to $200.

For example, shipping a brand-new iPhone 18, 1 TB, would cost you around $150 to $200 just because of how much they cost.

With mandatory 5% of freight insurance included on your shipping invoice, you can see how that can add up to $200.

However, that is totally worth it, given that most phones you see in Kenya are counterfeit.

If you use assisted shopping, where we shop and ship on your behalf, you can expect to see an additional service charge, but it's usually 5-10% of the original value.

All said and done, it is still way cheaper to ship from the US to Kenya compared to buying locally. The better part is that when you import straight from the manufacturer, there is no risk of buying a counterfeit.

Whether you want us to shop and ship on your behalf or you just want a tax-free US address where you shop in the US without paying sales tax, you just need to create a shipping account.
