Tips for Smooth Delivery

Follow these tips to ensure your home delivery goes smoothly:

Be Available During Delivery Window

Ensure you or an authorized person is available at the delivery address during the selected time window. The delivery rider will call before arriving.

Provide Accurate Address with Landmarks

Include well-known landmarks, building names, and floor/apartment numbers. The more specific your address, the faster the delivery. For example: "Sunrise Apartments, 3rd Floor, Apt 3B, next to Shell Petrol Station, Ngong Road."

Have Your ID Ready

The delivery rider will verify your identity before handing over the package. Have your National ID or passport ready. The name should match the order details.

Inspect Before Signing

Open and inspect your package at the time of delivery. Check that all items are present and undamaged. Report any issues to the delivery rider and contact Kentex support immediately.

Keep Your Phone Reachable

Ensure the phone number on your account is active and reachable. The delivery team will call if they have trouble locating your address or need to confirm details.
