Hi, There were guys who had said they use the above service to ship to Kenya from Amazon. They do not have the option for Kenya in the signups. Any other shipping company you may know of? Salihiya requires that you have a minimum of 25kgs. Your assistance is appreciated. -- Anthony Tai "A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."
Why not ship directly from Amazon? Kelvin *www.jayanoris.com <http://www.jayanoris.com>* On Mon, Jun 8, 2015 at 1:27 PM, Anthony Tai via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

You can try Eye Link Cargo <http://www.eyelinkcargo.com/>. Have used them several times, no issues at all. Their minimum is lower than Saliyah, at 10kg, and cost is around $10 per kg so know the minimum you'll pay is 100 usd. Call them before ordering so that they can match your stuff with your details.

@Anthony, did you fully set up an account on Shop and Ship? They should give you addresses in a number of locations which are valid for Amazon deliveries. Shop and ship will then take care of shipping the stuff from the valid location to Kenya. My account has addresses in : Barcelona, Dubai, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Johannesburg, London, Malaysia, Milan, Mumbai, New York, Ontario, Paris, Shanghai and Singapore. Tony.
The biggest problem here is that during signup these guys don't have Kenya in the list of countries as your address. Does it mean that when signing up you need to give a fake location address first? And if so, then how do they forward stuff to you in Kenya if they don't allow you to sign up as from Kenya. Funnily enough, I see Tanzania on the list but neither Kenya nor South Africa - or is there something we are missing? ./Ok3ch On Wed, Jun 10, 2015 at 9:12 AM, Tony Likhanga via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

Nice catch there, ./Ok3ch, Kenya was for sure among the list of countries in the "Country of Residence" drop-down list. That's how I managed to register in the past. I wonder what may have changed to warrant the present exclusion.....I'm almost tempted to order something through SnS just to see what happens now.... Tony.
So seems for now we stuck! Don't order something worth so much :-) ./Ok3ch On Wed, Jun 17, 2015 at 1:30 PM, Tony Likhanga via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

Update : I finally imported some consignment from the US using my Shopandship account. The weight was 29.20 lb (13.25kg). The shipping cost was Kes 31,784, translating to about $22.5 per kilogram. The shipment took 10 days to arrive. Verdict : On this, they were a tad slow compared to competition while their shipping cost is too steep. Tony.
Al Salihiya charges $10 per kg (from US), with a minimum of 25kgs. For single items, it's very expensive. But for bulk imports it does seem cheaper. Shipping from UK is $7.5 per kg, a minimum of 10kgs with UAE being $5.5 per kg. (Can't remember the minimum weight) On Fri, Oct 16, 2015 at 6:40 PM, Tony Likhanga via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

Hi guys, I just remembered that someone mentioned here that there is a shipping company in Eastleigh that has 10kg minimum instead of the 25kg minimum from Al Salihiya. I can't locate that thread though. Anyone know the provider? On Sun, Oct 18, 2015 at 10:25 AM, Bwana Lawi <mail2lawi@gmail.com> wrote:
