ASK & WE ANSWER

You should expect to receive your goods within five (5) to ten (10) working days in Nairobi after your goods arrive in our U.S warehouse. After your goods arrive, we’ll call, email or sms you informing you of the same.  If you experience delays in receiving your goods, contact us immediately and we will help to confirm the status of your goods. If you need to have your order delivered urgently, that can be arranged by requesting expedited shipping, though this will cost you extra to send via your preferred method, DHL, USPS or FedEx. Please note that it is important to order goods for special occasions such as Christmas, Easter, Father’s Day or Mother’s Day, Weddings and Birthdays well ahead of time (At least 3 weeks earlier) this is because delays sometimes do occur as a result of uncontrollable circumstances such as bad weather, increased volumes (e.g. around the holidays) or inefficiencies at the port of entry or Acts of God.

After your goods are ready for collection, you can schedule a pick up or a delivery. Deliveries will be done at an extra cost.

For any questions regarding pick-up and delivery, please contact us.

We follow the international standard to determine the Billable Weight of a shipment. All international shipping carriers base their shipping rates on the Billable Weight, which is the greater of Actual Weight and Dimensional Weight. Actual Weight is the weight of the package when put on a scale. Dimensional Weight is based on the size of the package. Large items that have a small Actual Weight, like pillows and lamp shades, will have a larger Dimensional Weight.

For up-to-date information on how Dimensional Weight is calculated by shipping carriers, please visit DHL Dimensional Weight Calculator or UPS Dimensional Weight Calculator.

We can store each package free of charge for a period of 60 days from the date of delivery in our U.S Warehouse. The maximum storage time for each package is 30 days since the date of its delivery to our Nairobi office.
