The video about how I ship from the US: • How I shop on Amazon U...
Currently, the best and cheapest way to shop and ship from US stores and online e-commerce sites like Amazon, Etsy, Newegg, Ebay, etc to Kenya is by using third party forwarding companies. Two of the best that I have tried on several occasions are Kentex Cargo and Savo Store. In this video, I compare the two based on my personal experience and the information they provide.

very informative video
Glad you think so!
New here and wow, very informative
Thanks and welcome
hey buda youve got my dream machine hapo. napenda your work
Thanks! Hustle hard you'll get it!
Hi, thanks for a such precise and detail video. New subscriber here. This is what I have been looking for for a long time and you have done well to go a head of my fears and imported computer parts. My question would be, which company did you use to import computer parts above $100 dollars? Did they charge extra for insurance purposes and what was the percentage if they did?
I used a mix of both Kentex and Savostore.I didn't pay for insurance because it wasn't compulsory,but check their terms.
This was informative, I have never used Kentex but I have used Amazon over 5 times and only one time or twice they have shipped withing their 14day period intact there was a time I waited for over a month , I'll have to try Kentex the next time I ship .
You can try them, or even other similar but cheaper services that have come up lately
Have you tried shipping items directly from amazon without using third party shipping companies and how costly are they?
Asking the same
Insightful
Thanks!
Informative.
Good to know
thanks for the video . please do a step by step video ,on kentex cargo. how to send to kenya, because some of us are stack on the address.
Thanks for watching, I might do that with time... but its not difficult, you just use the Kentex warehouse address as your shipping address on the site you're buying from.
Time to review States Duka. Looking forward to know them.
Will try, if time allows.
When he said 'beast' i just liked the video 😂😂
Haha thanks!
Hi,Dikkens,how much do you charge to assist in importation of goods? Am interested in importing some spare parts from india
I have used Kentex cargo and they do have returns once as long as the item has not left America.
Ok, good to know.
The sound quality is amazing, what podcast mic do you use?
Thanks. Blue Yeti. Link is in the video description
Educational the info is exactly what I needed since true kentex don't show on pricing but kinda shocked it delivered better ..thanks on the info
Youre welcome
No one asked but:
He's my favorite TH-camr :)
Im humbled!
Informative. I always have seen good stuff on Amazon but the cost was always a bit high
Sure...
I see you are now recommending Aquanto, could you do an updated video of the three
Hopefully I will soon
Please talk next about statesduka and vitumob so that we can know our choices
I'll do so once I get some experience with them...
Bro, how am I finding you today!! Love the video and it’s answered all my questions. I used Safariline Cargo to ship from Dubai but I am currently looking to get stuff from USA. Safariline and other companies I know stopped shipping electronics especially with the new taxation. Have you shipped anything recently? And which company would you recommend? Asking just in case your views have changed since doing this video.
Welcome! Check out my new video...
@@Dkens Asante sana! I’m on it.
Great video Could you offer UK to Kenya video as av noticed distance is shorter and many people have not covered that section alot as USA to Kenya please
Thanks, will try research on that
I used Globe Flight Kenya to ship an xbox series s from UK.
Arrived at their UK warehouse in Southall on 31st March.
Shipped from UK to Kenya on Saturday 3rd April.
Available for pickup at Nextgen mall on 8th April.
Charges were 9.5 Pounds/kg + Kes 2000 service fee.
Dude! I just watched that other video yesterday morning, I'm planning to buy a laptop from Amazon and that video has helped me a lot, I wasn't sure if people ship to kenya and after watching that video I was more than satisfied. And could you please do a review of your custom built pc? I would really like to see how it works, I have only seen wazungu do pc builds, I've not seen anyone around do that, I'm shy to try it myself but if you could, man! That would mean alot. Thanks
Thanks, good to know the video has been of help. I already made a video about the build here: th-cam.com/video/h2Ix1Yt_v0Y/w-d-xo.html ... I don't know if you've already watched that, but I'll do a follow up video soon. Meanwhile, I'll appreciate it if you use my amazon link to buy your laptop, thanks! amzn.to/2XbwJqb
Let me check it out, I'm still new to your channel, hehe
No worries, I'll use that link
Thanks again, keep up the good work
@@Dkens between amazon and ebay which is better?
Would you mind doing a video on your streaming setup.... Your videos are quality
Thank you! Actually a desk setup video is coming up next this Sunday... please check back! But I will also definitely do a specific streaming setup video in future.
WE WANT HIZO SPECS BRO
Thanks
Welcome
nice mini itx rig
Thanks!
Hey man, could you review Aquatuoa third-party shipping company? It's located in Ghana and they also have offices at Next gen mall in Kenya.
I'll try check them out... Seems these companies have become quite a number
Please please do a review on Aquantuo...I am curious about it too
Very informative .Have you used back market?
No
hey.. thanks for the video..💚
where is #Kentex located in Nairobi???
Welcome, not sure, just call them and ask..
Heh that 18% is so much..I’ve shipped with savostore before and I kept on wondering why the price was sooo high..let me try kentex bcz I really have a lot of stuff to buy for my business…aki thank you 🙏 you have saved this mama
You're welcome,but things have changed since I made this video... Savostore went back to 15%, and there's several other companies that have come up...
@@Dkens heh I’d rather that 4.5% from kentex bado 15% ni high
Kentex also charges 15%
My Mom has a PO BOX, how do they deliver without a zip code?
I purchased two items on Amazon and they have arrived at Kentex warehouse in the USA. They are to be in Kenya by the January 21. will keep everyone updated. I would also like to know if Kentex shipS from Kenya to the USA?
Not sure about that, but I doubt. Youre probably just going to use the normal post office.
Please simply like from me from how to go from beginning. I want to buy maybe some essential oil how do I start
Please watch this video: th-cam.com/video/xbsly2vczIo/w-d-xo.html
Hi
Nice video
Thanks!
I’m looking to buy entertainment equipment,Tv and Home Theatre system which I noticed on Best Buy is cheaper,are those items safe for use in Kenya,also thank you for the very informative video
Thanks, usually most stuff nowadays is made to support both 110 and 240 volts,but check specifications first.
Since most of these gadgets are bulky I suppose, You might consider ocean freight. Shipping such heavy items like home theatres via air can be ridiculously expensive.
great
Thanks
Any information about importing of used clothes like jeans am intrested
Not really sure about that...
Dude it is like you did sent out a RFP (request for proposal) for shipping services and scored them on a weighted criteria
Haha... Should help guys make a rational decision... Though nowadays there are even more players in the field!
I actually stopped shipping with Savostore due to their exorbitant pricing. It's just ridiculous. Nowadays I use Statesduka. Their prices are just hard to beat. I've not had any problems with them but their customer service is atrocious. I'll have to point that out
Try Aquantuo... that's my new favorite
@@Dkens kindly explain more about this company
I also used Statesduka for a while thinking that it was a safe heaven. After a few orders they also started sand bagging me with outrageous pricing. Given that their customer service is atrocious as Sami referred to, You are fckd either ways.
@@Dkens Hi, I cannot find Aquantuo warehouse addresses. Does that mean that they have to handle the purchase themselves and then ship the item or what.?
@@jeff8580 You'll need to sign up first on their website. They also have a WhatsApp contact line that you can use for any further inquiries.
Excellent Video
I have 2 questions though:-
1) Do i have to pay any customs and or other levies when my shipment arrives in Kenya
2) Do either of the companies do home delivery or do i have to go collect?
Regards
Customs duty is usually included in the shipping cost so you don't pay or follow up on the customs clearance yourself. You can choose to collect from them when it arrives in Nairobi or have it shipped forward to your final destination in Kenya at an additional fee. For Kentex Cargo they use Wells Fargo if I am not mistaken.
No, they handle customs and they can deliver it directly to you
Thank you for the video, how much did the PC build cost you? Do you mind sharing the exact specs of components on whatsapp?
There's a video on that
I’m just here for the “no problems” t shirt 🤷🏿♂️
😅 Dm me on twitter @dkensomanga ... Maybe we can get you one
3.48 Insurance is tricky. What is the risk factor here @ 5%. I would imagine if I was shipping stuff worth $10000/- I would have to pay 500/- in insurance but there's no clear communication on what it covers or compensation terms.
Definitely no clear terms and conditions... But I guess its better than nothing, just for the sake of some peace of mind hoping nothing bad happens
I like salihiya.
Also good!
Lucky Duck... You are one of the few customers I have come across that has had a positive experience with kentexcargo. In my own experience, kentex committed all the crimes you just placed on SavoStore's doorstep. But what's even worse is the fact that they charged me an extra $100 because of delays in shipping from faults of their own over in US. IF YOU ARE READING THIS, IGNORE BOTH COMPANIES, THEY'LL BOTH LEAVE YOU CRYING
Pole for your experience, but please note that this video is more than a year old now. Though I guess generally shipping goes well for most people, but a few may have issues.
Hey there Dickenns, what about Vitumob? I would like to be importing items regularly for my business.
I dont have experience with them,will make a video when I do...
Don't try from the UK I am waiting for a shipment since May!!!
Hello, have you used iMail Kenya before? it looks cheaper especially for smaller items.
Sure theyve been recommended to me, I'll try it them out soon.
Thank you brother for your information. I have one question. Do i have to pay customs duty or VAT when item arrives kenya? I am trying to ship some used and new clothes to a friend in kenya. Around 7 kgs i would say. Thank you.
No... for both of these companies you only pay the shipping cost per KG
Hello Abdullahi can we do business am intrested in jeans both new n used
Hey bro how about sending items from kenya to usa? Personally i think its a very common question asked by many
So far I havent tried many channels other than DHL
thank you so much mkurugenzi.
Karibu!
How does one ship from U.S Stores to kenya whats the procedure
Watch this one: th-cam.com/video/xbsly2vczIo/w-d-xo.html
I want to have a laptop and some office accessories send form the US to Kenya, I wanted to use DHL,,, what information do I need to give the shipping company?
I don’t have a P.O. Box address, is it a must if i want them shipped to me so I can collect in Nairobi?
Please advise
Id advise against DHL... use these shipping companies, it'll be cheaper. You can call them for more info.
And how do I ship to Usa now? Please help
Ill share if I find any better alternative to the usual post office.
Hey Dickens.I watched your video and actually bought stuff and they got delivered to kentex cargo warehouse.I have been checking portal Yao they don’t update .Am scared as well as confused .Cause it’s the first time using them.
How long did it take for them to ship your stuff to you? Kindly let me know .Thanks in advance
They normally take 2-3 weeks, just contact them.
Hey sir...what the actual duration shopping from ebay with kentexcargo
2 weeks or less
Kentex ships their goods at least once a week. Every Thursday. So the likelihood of you getting your goods on time is very high.
Yeah they do. Check my latest video.
Did kra charge you for shipping??? Is there any charges beside the original cost of the product or receiving taxes outside the price of shipping and cargo
Using these shipping companies, your import charges are covered in the shipping cost
I need zhyun crane m2 but I'm in Nanyuki Town...do they offer shipping to Nanyuki Town ..
Yes they do.
Hey dude...i found your video and did a "buy and shipment"frok kentex and paid like last week but i have not received any info from them....should i call to confirm whether they have made the oder or i should wait.?
Just call them
Thanks bro...
Oi... Dickenns, Can you do a comparison btn States Duka, Kentex cargo and Horizon World Cargo. I have been shipping items with States Duka & truth be told their services are not great. I'd love to hear what's your take on it because am currently on the verge of jumping ship. Nice job, Great channel.👍
These shipping services have becoming quite many I doubt I can be able to use all of them, but I'll try a variety. Currently my top recommendation is Aquantuo.
Would you recommend Aquanto over Kentex to ship gadgets? I'm torn😢
@@sylviarahabngimawahome8980 Well, as someone who has used Kentex I'd recommend it for your peace of mind. You can make purchase yourself and have items delivered to their warehouse address. Aquantuo has preference of making the purchase for you. Kentex did lose my package once but hey, they did issue a full refund.
Great video. What is the most expensive shipment you would consider shipping through Kentex?
At this point I think I can trust them with nearly anything... Ive seen them ship quite some expensive stuff
Specs and costs for the beast machine?
Please go to the video description youll find all info
And how do you make your videos so small, I'm downloading for offline viewing and I'm really impressed on how small in size they are(20-40mb for 720p videos)
Other people's videos are 700mb buwana!! How do you do it man?
OK, good to know, its probably the settings I use that are optimized for TH-cam, and maybe the length.
Ooh, ok
The videos are so detailed and clean, nice job
Thanks again
Where is the savostore office in Nairobi?
Not sure of their current address, please call them.
Hi, I have a heavy item, 25Kg. Am seeing huge quotes. Kindly help me with cheapest option.
Sea shipping might be better for you, though they also normally have high minimum costs. I have a video about that coming soon.
Do you know of any shipping services that allow you to ship otherwise prohibited items like alcohol and cheese to Kenya? Also thank you for your videos on this topic. They've been very helpful
No...
Why would you want to ship prohibited items 🤔😅
have you ever shipped from Amazon directly to Kenya
No, I always use one of these companies. Its way cheaper!
Do they ship from China? I wanted to buy some items from Alibaba store
No, you can use Salihiya
Hello sir i would like kentex to buy for me a drone from DJI and ship it to me here in Kenya will it be possible?
Yes they will send... And you can just buy from Amazon and send to their US address. Contact them to confirm.
@@Dkens wow they are legit ? Like my stuff wont lost?
I would double check in terms of drones. I thought drones cannot be shipped. I say this because they are on Savo Store's prohibited list. But I could be wrong. See this link: www.savostore.com/pages/prohibited-items/
