I tried USPS once, and since I had heard horror stories, I was expecting the worst to happen to my shipment. Anyway, contrary to my worst fear, the item arrive in Nairobi in 4 days, I went to Posta, collected that yellow cards, was send over to the branch near Kenya Polytechnic, and I collected my item with 10 minutes. They have KRA agents inside, and since it was a comp, it was zero rated, I paid Posta like KES 100 and walked out with it.
Also the item was insured against loss by USPS and I was able to track it till it landed and Posta, where the trail ends.
