Most customers tend to buy multiple items from multiple stores. At Kentex Cargo, we put all your items in one repackaged shipment. This lowers your chargeable weight, sometimes by as much as 75%.

What is Air Cargo Repackaging?

Repackaging is the single biggest money saver in air shipping from the USA to Kenya. Companies like Amazon tend to ship items in large packages and this could have a huge effect on your cargo chargeable weight. We take your items out of the unnecessary large boxes and put them together in a small economical package.

Kentex Cargo repackaging Kentex cargo Air Shipping repackaging

Customers in the USA wanting to ship packages to Kenya from the USA may do so by sending their packages to our address in the Dallas area. Before you send your package to our address, it is important to do the following few steps

  1. Make sure you are not shipping prohibited items to Kenya. Here is the list of prohibited goods. By law, shipping companies are supposed to inspect and verify that the cargo being shipped complies with local and International Air Transportation Association (IATA) regulations.
  2. Package your shipment in a durable box: This will make sure the integrity of your cargo is maintained. In situations where we receive your packages from online sellers like amazon.com, we do repackage them to make sure your packages are safe and lower your shipping cost.
  3. Make sure you add your tracking information to your account: In your account, you will be able to add your tracking information to our warehouse. This step is required and also allows us to automatically send notifications to you and your receiver.

Air Shipping Cost From USA to Kenya

We charge $15/kilo based on whichever is larger between actual weight (dead weight) and volumetric weight.

Simply send in your cargo and only pay $15/KG + 5% freight insurance based on declared value above $200.

Sending Mail & Letter with USPS & Kenya Post Office (Posta): Should You Take the Enormous Risk?

We get many calls every day about people who fell into the USPS - Kenya Posta trap and either lost the entire package, got some items stolen, or got extorted in Kenya to get their package.

USPS local delivery in the USA is efficient but not for international packages. Packages handled by USPS to international destinations are locally handled by the Kenya post office.

If you want to send mail, letter, or small packages to Kenya without worrying about packages getting lost or being extorted by Kenya Post Office (posta), You should try our service. We deliver. 

Preparing Sea/Ocean Shipment From USA to Kenya

Sea cargo shipping is mainly for heavy and bulky items. Items that would be too expensive to ship by air to Kenya. Here is how to prepare sea cargo.

  1. We recommend using barrels or wardrobe boxes: These give you enough room to put as many packages as you can. Wardrobe boxes are readily available in moving companies like uHaul.
  2. Make a manifest of your shipment: Make a list of the items you are shipping and include/attach it to your box or barrel.
  3. Send your ready cargo to our warehouse in Texas. To get the full address of our warehouse, please sign up for an account.
  4. For larger items like machines, fridges, etc, please give us a call or simply send them to our warehouse in Carrollton, Texas.

        1. Do you ship from Virginia beach I have a plastic drum sfull of things, do you charge by kg or package?when is your next cargo via sea ?and how long will it take to reach kenya,where can family pick it up from ?they are in shagz not in Nairobi MATUU YATTA do you guys deliver there ?

          1. We are resuming ocean freight in January but you need to sort your things into smaller packages of similar things. clothes alone, shoes alone, and nothing of commercial value. If you need to ship for resale, then we have a structure for commercial goods and taxes due at the port.

          2. I need to get my phone shipped from Michigan. State ,what can I do? Just one phone. And how much will it cost me?

        2. I need to ship an electronic Technics SX U60 musical instrument from the US to Eldoret.. My friend in the US has it... What is the procedure?

        3. Assuming I want to ship auto break kits to kenya e.g power stop brake kits how do I go about it's and what is the approximate charge

  1. i prefer to make purchases then ship to your address for delivery to Kenya. how can i get your US shipping address?

        1. I have got clothes ,shoes and bags that are to be sent to Kenya.i need them delivered to ruiru .are there additional charges when good reach in kenya

    1. Volumetric weight applies to all TVs because they are very light and very bulky. Please send order details to [email protected] and we will be able to give you an accurate quote. Different TV manufacturers have different weight, volume, cost, etc

    1. Sure you can. Please mail it to
      2120 HUTTON DRIVE, STE 300
      CARROLTON, TX 75006

    1. Thank you, John, for your question.
      All goods are insured upto $200. Any order amount above $200 attracts an additional 5% freight insurance fee and that covers your packages in case of loss

  2. Are you able to shop for me a TV set and some duvets from Colorado to Nairobi? How do I get them to you?

  3. For low value items <$70 can I opt out of the insurance, which is an unnecessary cost for inexpensive items?

      1. Admin,

        Please clarify. You said all goods are insured up to $200, meaning all goods $200 and below are insured. What does your reply to Brian mean since he was asking about goods <$70? Does that mean the safety of these goods is not assured?

  4. If I believe my items to be 1kg or less yet receive an invoice for a much higher amount, what does this mean? Can I disagree with the charges? Especially if they are small items and the question of volumetric weight etc doesn't arise.

      1. Three things I want to know;
        1. are your items all shipped directly to the door and are there any hidden charges like money to pay back in Kenya like tax for customs?

        2. Is the charge door to door or will o have to pick from your offices in Kenya or will I be charged extra for delivery to my location. Where are your offices?

        3. Is there a drop point in Minnesota or do we have to ship to Texas.

        Thank you,

        Kaari

        1. Thank you Kaari for your clarification request.
          The charges are $18/kg plus 5% freight insurance based on item value. The delivery cost covers up to Nairobi. Outside CBD and upper part of Nairobi, a small courier charge applies. All shipments have to come to our Dallas area location. It is better to order stuff online and use our address. This will save you on shipping them twice

  5. Hi want to send a sound system to kenya 4 big speakers and 4 small ones amixer and 3 power amp how much will it cost aproximately from dallas . Moses

    1. You should also receive an email. You should call our the main number and clarify if you have any shadow of doubt

  6. Let's say I wish to purchase a phone from an exclusive manufacturer's site website (not the usual amazon, etc)
    Would it be possible to do so?

  7. I’m preparing to start shipping items to Kenya through you guys , I just want to know if the integrity of my items will be maintained!

    1. Customs have a right to open and inspect all item. If my understanding of integrity means, if the boxes will remain the same as packed by the manufacturer, please understand inspection for compliance is not a choice. It is mandatory across all borders in the world. However, most new manufacturer sealed products are never opened unless x-ray scans show possible ill-will.

  8. what would it cost to send a box of books and small dolls to Bungoma Kenya the weight is about 3lbs

    1. Just sent you a quote. Kindly address your package as follows

      RECEIVER'S NAME c/o KENTEX CARGO
      2120 HUTTON DRIVE, SUITE 300
      CARROLLTON, TX 75006

  9. So if I was to send a package whose value is greater than $200 I pay for the $15 per kg fee and still pay insurance $200?.

  10. I’m in Oregon and would like to send clothes, toys, kids bikes, and other households to Kenya, the total weight is around 90kgs, (1)how much will be the cost ? (2) do I pack them or can I let you do it yourselves professionally,(3)where do I deliver them for you for shipping to Kenya

  11. I would like to send a dress and some sewing items to Ahero Kenya. How much would the total cost be and when would it arrive in Kenya?

  12. My wife is currently living and working as a school teacher in Mombassa. Amazon will not ship to her, She has it shipped to me then I mail it to her then I stopped when she did not receive an item I sent to her. Where in Mombassa would she pick up items I send to her?

    1. We give 14 business days due to packing, repackaging, consolidation, flight time, clearing, deconsolidation and finally calling the receiver. All things held constant, 10 business days should be fine.

  13. Hello.
    So you mentioned Customs have to inspect the items : which is understandable, but as theft is rampant , even in the US. My package is reinforced, as suggested with duct tape all over ..
    Is the inspection being done in the presence of the receiver and what’s the guarantee that my family receives EVERYTHING as sent.

    1. Inspection is not done at your presence and it happens in different countries throughout the transit. We, however, make sure your items are delivered intact and we have been successfully doing this for over 5 years. This, unlike posta where you are almost guaranteed your items will be tampered with, is a private business. Making sure you get your goods intact is why we are preferred.

      Be blessed

    1. We ship out once a week every Tuesday from Dallas area, Texas. Once shipped, we promise 14 business days. The item needs to be shipped to:

      RECEIVER’S NAME + KENYAN NUMBER
      2120 HUTTON DRIVE, SUITE 300
      CARROLLTON, TX 75006

  14. YOU SHOULD START MAKING KENYA -USA SHIPMENTS.
    ALOT OF US KENYANS IN THE ECOMMERCE INDUSTRY WANT TO SELL PRODUCTS TO USA BUT WE GET PROBLEMS WITH SHIPPING.
    DONT YOU SPOT A BUSNESS GAP. IF THE CEO OF THIS COMPANY US A SERIOUS MAN HE SHOULD DO THAT AS SOON AS POSIBLE.
    OTHERWISE YOUR MISSING OUT ON IMPORTANT REVENUE.
    YOUR ONLY EARLING FROM THE RIGHT HAND AND THE LEFT HAND IS DOING NOTHING.
    ENGAGE BOTH ROOTS TO AND FROM AND YOU WILL DOUBLE YOUR PROFITS WITHIN NO TIME

    1. Noted. No need to use uppercase, no matter how strong you feel about your point.
      That aside, we have been exploring the opportunity. A lot of times, when you see something that no one else is doing, despite the obvious necessity, think twice. It doesn't mean we cannot see the need. The devil is in the details.
      Be blessed, Mutuma

      1. I'd like to point out that many people type in all uppercase due to vision problems, not necessarily intending any strong emotion. 🙂

  15. I have a shipment I need to send to Nairobi, contains 2 cellphones, a tablet, block game and game CDs for my children. They may weigh up to 1 kg.
    How much will it cost me?

    1. Thank you, Kelvin, for your request. Seeds require agricultural board approval and a license. For that reason, we do not ship seeds

  16. Can I ship personal items and baby clothing as well? Are your offices only located in Texas??Am in Philadelphia

    1. We are in Texas. order your items online and use our address in Texas as shipping address. Most online stores ships for free

    1. Sure we can, but it is better when you buy items online and use our warehouse address. Most stores deliver for free. It will cost you more from Oakland to Texas

  21. Can anyone please share their experience with this company? I'm planning on shipping a phone but I'm afraid of the expensive phone getting lost along the way.

  24. I get question, what about If I am sending phones from USA to Kenya to resale them in kenya. how much would be the costs associated including customs expense. let us say I am sending 10 iPhone 6s.

  25. Hello, can I have three phones, a tablet, and a laptop, all second-hand, sent to me from family over there? I'm not too sure about the weight but approximately three kilos... How is their security guaranteed and will I have extra costs to pay once they get here: what will the total fees and charges be?
