How Ocean Standard Box Shipping Works
Purchase Your Ocean Box Label
Select your ocean box size on our website, add your receiver details in Kenya, and complete payment. You'll receive your prepaid shipping label immediately via email.
Pack Your Items Securely
Use a sturdy box or wooden crate within your purchased size and weight limits. For heavy or fragile items, use extra padding and reinforcement. Attach the prepaid label prominently on the outside.
Drop Off or Schedule Pickup
Take your labeled box to any UPS, FedEx, or freight terminal. For large boxes, schedule a pickup from your location. The carrier will transport it to our USA warehouse.
We Consolidate & Ship by Sea
Your box arrives at our USA warehouse where we consolidate ocean freight shipments. Once we have a full container, we ship via sea freight to Mombasa, Kenya. This typically happens every 2-3 weeks.
Ocean Transit & Customs Clearance
Your shipment travels by sea for approximately 45-60 days to Mombasa port. Upon arrival, we handle all customs clearance, duty payments, and port handling on your behalf.
Delivery to Your Location in Kenya
After customs clearance, we transport your box from Mombasa to Nairobi or your delivery location. Total time from USA to delivery in Kenya is 75-90 days. Track your shipment at every stage via your dashboard.
