FAQ — Shipping from Kenya to UAE
Answers to the most common questions about Kenya to UAE courier shipping, customs, delivery time, and pricing.
How much does it cost to ship to the UAE from Kenya?
UAE shipping is weight-based. Example standard-cargo rates: 0.5kg = KES 4,032, 1kg = KES 4,882, 5kg = KES 10,368, 10kg = KES 18,410, 20kg = KES 30,939. Use the calculator above for an instant estimate. Final pricing may vary for restricted items, special handling, or volumetric (dimensional) weight.
Do you charge volumetric (dimensional) weight?
Yes. We bill the greater of actual weight or volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is calculated as Length × Width × Height (in cm) ÷ 5000. This applies to bulky, lightweight items where the box takes up more space than its weight suggests.
How long does shipping from Kenya to the UAE take?
Typical delivery is a few business days after payment, door-to-door to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. Timing can vary by destination emirate, flight schedules, and customs checks.
Do you deliver door-to-door across the UAE?
Yes. We deliver door-to-door to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other emirates. Delivery time may vary by location.

You can drop off at our Karen office: Heri Plaza Karen, Ngong Road, 1st Floor Shop No. 8. Pickup within Nairobi can be arranged—share your location on WhatsApp and we'll advise the best option.
