How Kentex Cargo “Ship & Track” works

Shop, Ship & Track Your Packages From the Seller to Your Hands.
A Step-by-Step Guide

You can now shop at any store in the USA and track your packages from the seller all the way to Kenya using the same tracking number you got from the seller or logistics company.

This short article will walk you through how to ship & track your packages.

This is the option we previously called, “shipping only” that we have renamed as “Ship & Track”.

This option applies when you do your own shopping and use our USA warehouse to ship your goods to Kenya

You may have already signed up to our web-app and you already have an active account.

Old portal users have already been moved to the new portal and all you need to do is to reset your password.

If you have not already done so, here are the steps.

STEP 1: Sign up to access the web-app portal.

Sign up for Kentex Cargo Portal

STEP 2 Verify your email address

Once you hit the submit button, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your email address.

This is the email where your shipment tracking updates will be sent.

Confirm email address

STEP 3: Log-on to Your Kentex Web App Account

Our Web-App is where you need to enter your tracking numbers every time you purchase something in the USA online.

This step is very important because carriers may lose your packages or misdeliver and still mark them as delivered.

Important:

Our clients expressed concerns that their phone numbers are being exposed to the public during packages' transit and some of them nearly fell for con-scams posing as either customs agents or as Kentex Cargo.

Such scammers called our clients asking for money as customs agents or as if they are calling from Kentex Cargo.

Never use your phone number again when shipping – It is not safe.

To protect your privacy, we are assigning a unique code instead of using your name and phone number. This unique code identifies you.

  1. What is your phone number in the US which I can fill in the Amazon form? This is compulsory but you have not provided.
    Also, is your Zip Code TX 75006 OR TX 75006-6880 OR TX 75006-6880-307-6571?? Which is correct? Different pages on your website and emails you send have different conflicting information. Kindly clarify. Thanks.

    1. the second part of the zipcode doesn't make a difference in delivery. It is for post office internal use. Either will work
