Kentex Cargo serves customers in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester, Duluth, Bloomington, and the rest of Minnesota with both air and ocean shipping to Kenya.
Real numbers, not a guess. These are computed the same way our quote calculator prices your shipment: chargeable weight is the higher of actual weight or volumetric weight (L × W × H in inches ÷ 306 for air, giving kilograms), and you pay that weight times the rate, or the $50.00 minimum charge, whichever is higher. There is no minimum weight.
A 15" laptop
Laptop + charger, boxed for shipping
16 x 12 x 4 inch box, ~2.5 kg actual weight → chargeable weight 2.5 kg at $17.99/kg (below the $50.00 minimum charge, so you pay $50.00)
$50.00 by air
Gold member: $45.00 · Platinum member: $42.50
A smartphone
Phone + case + accessories, small padded box
8 x 5 x 3 inch box, ~0.4 kg actual weight → chargeable weight 0.4 kg at $17.99/kg (below the $50.00 minimum charge, so you pay $50.00)
$50.00 by air
Gold member: $45.00 · Platinum member: $42.50
A box of household goods
24" x 18" x 24" box — cookware, linens, small kitchen items
6.0 cubic feet at $35.00/cuft (minimum charge $150.00)
$210.00 by ocean
Gold member: $189.00 · Platinum member: $178.50
Notice the a smartphone costs the same as a 15" laptop: both weigh too little to reach the $50.00 minimum charge, so both simply pay the minimum. There is no minimum weight, so adding more to the same shipment costs nothing extra until the weight charge passes $50.00. If you're shipping several small items (a couple of gadgets, some accessories, a few gifts), consolidating them into one box almost always costs less than sending them separately, because each separate shipment pays its own $50.00 minimum.

Ocean shipping accommodates larger volumes and weights, making it an excellent choice for sizable shipments.
Please note, ocean freight involves longer transit times of 75-90 days compared to air shipping 7-14 working days, making it suitable for non-urgent consignments.
Ocean shipping runs on a monthly schedule, not weekly.
Ocean shipments follow monthly cutoffs, and planning early helps you avoid missing a container. If you are doing pickup, you should schedule it early enough to meet the cutoff.
Ocean shipping takes longer than air shipping, but it saves money on large shipments. Delivery typically takes about 75 to 90 days from the day the container departs.
