Get Started NowReal numbers, not a guess — 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 cm ÷ 5000 for air), and every air shipment is billed for at least 2.5 kg.

A smartwatch + charger is light enough that the 2.5 kg minimum applies — you're paying for weight the shipment doesn't have. Consolidating it with a heavier item like a compact printer (charged on its own 6.3 kg) usually costs the same or less than shipping both separately.
Air shipping is simple, thanks to online shopping where you can shop online and ship your items direct to our warehouse addressed to your receiver in Kenya for forwarding to Kenya.
Our air freight service to Kenya is your fast track to secure international shipping. Priced from just $17.99/kg, our service includes all taxes and duties, ensuring there are no hidden costs.
Air shipping is perfect when speed is of the essence, making it ideal for time-sensitive deliveries. With a global network of air cargo carriers, we ensure your package gets to its destination as quickly and efficiently as possible.
We follow all IATA regulations, ensuring your goods are safe and compliant. Please note that dangerous goods such as lithium ion and lithium metal batteries are not permitted.
When it comes to moving larger, heavier goods, our ocean freight service is your cost-effective solution.
For $30/cubic foot, inclusive of all taxes and duties, your items can journey securely across the seas. Ocean shipping has the advantage of carrying larger volume and weight, making it perfect for household goods shipment.
It's important to note that ocean transit times are approximately 75-90 days from the day we pick up your shipment.
Our ocean shipping service adheres to all international maritime regulations, ensuring the safety and compliance of your goods.
Schedule your shipment pick-up
Schedule Ocean PickupOcean 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.
