What is the preferred shipping container?
We prefer shipping cargo in either 55 or 77-gallon barrels; they are hardy and can be used back home as water-catchment containers and do last a lifetime!
How should I secure my cargo?
Always secure and lock your cargo using a padlock/tote-ties.
Can I ship oil or gasoline?
No, oil or gasoline cannot be shipped and should be drained off your generator/lawn mower gasoline-powered appliances.
Can I ship weapons or contraband items with my cargo?
No, weapons (guns, ammunition, artillery), or contraband items are not allowed to be shipped with your cargo.
Do I need to declare all cargo being shipped?
Yes, always declare all cargo being shipped. The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) requires an itemized list for proper duty calculation.
How should liquids/fluids be packed?
Liquids/fluids should be packed in hard body plastic tote containers.
How should clothes be packed?
Clothes should be packed in boxes or suitcases. We recommend purchasing boxes from U-Haul. See our price list for box dimensions.
How should books be packed?
If shipping books, use multiple small boxes (e.g., 12x12x18) instead of larger boxes. Books tend to be heavy and are handled well as small compact boxes.
What should I do with batteries in electronics?
Disconnect any batteries (Lithium or AA/AAA) from your electronics before packing your cargo.
How should furniture be packed?
For furniture, dressers, and mattresses, always invest in wrapping your cargo with shipping blankets to protect the edges. Thereafter, wrap the items with shrink wrap on top of the blankets.
