Item Details:

  • Exact dimensions (L x W x H) in inches

What Affects Custom Quote Pricing?

Custom quotes are calculated based on several factors to ensure fair and accurate pricing:

Dimensional Weight

Large but lightweight items are charged based on space they occupy. We calculate volumetric weight (L x W x H / 166 for air, / 1728 for ocean) and compare to actual weight.

Shipping Method

Air freight (7-14 days) is more expensive but faster. Ocean freight (75-90 days) is significantly cheaper for large items. We'll recommend the best option for your budget and timeline.

Special Handling

Fragile items, crating, palletizing, or temperature control add to costs. We factor in any extra care needed to ensure safe delivery to Kenya.

Destination

Delivery to Nairobi is standard. Remote areas in Kenya may have additional ground transport fees. We'll provide full transparency on all location-based charges.
