I have checked with vitumob and savostore, the quotes came with duty and other taxes hence why I was asking if KAS and Salabed charge any other hidden costs.

by Mwendwa Kivuva 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

The Kenya Internet Governance Forum (IGF) will be held on 12th August 2016 at the Laico Regency hotel. Please save the date to participate in the event. The IGF is a unique platform for all stakeholders to openly exchange perspectives and concerns on key issues that may affect the future of the Internet for millions of Kenyans. KICTANet has been involved in organising the Kenya IGF in partnership with industry stakeholders to address key Internet issues. The outcomes will feed into the African IGF to be held in October 2016 in South Africa, and subsequently feed into the Global IGF slated for 6-9th December 2016 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The global theme for this year’s IGF is “Enabling Inclusive and Sustainable Growth.” The Agenda for the event will follow shortly. Sincerely, Barrack Otieno | Mwendwa Kivuva Kenya IGF MAG Co-chairs

OT: Buying stuff from the US
by Simon Mbuthia 10 Jul '16

10 Jul '16

Hey people, I recently came to find out that most things are chepaer when purchased from the US, rather than from the UK (even after the GBP started falling after Brexit). I am currently looking for how I can ship in stuff from the US fast and in a cost effective way. I already know of Salabed, but they just do not respond to emails in good time. That is not the issue though, I'd like to hear of alternatives to Salabed and their rates too. Thanks in advance. S.
