How Long Does It Take to Send a Parcel from Kenya to UK?
Transit time depends on which service you choose:
Air Freight: 3–5 business days. Your parcel departs on weekly Friday flights and typically arrives in Nairobi within the working week. Ideal for urgent shipments, business stock, and electronics.
Express Parcel: 5–7 days. For smaller packages where speed matters but air freight rates apply.
Sea Cargo (LCL): 40–45 days. The most cost-effective option for bulk goods, large household items, furniture, and machinery. Your cargo is consolidated with other shipments in a shared container.
All transit times include our in-house KRA customs clearance — no additional clearance delays at Mombasa or Nairobi.

How to Send a Gift from the UK to Kenya
Sending a gift to family in Kenya is one of the most common reasons our customers ship with us. Here’s what to know:
- Gifts are subject to the same KRA customs rules as any other parcel — declare contents accurately.
- For personal gifts under a certain value threshold, duties may be minimal or waived — our clearance team handles this.
- Use our Buy Online, Ship to Kenya service: we give you a UK address, you shop at Amazon, eBay, or Currys, and we ship everything to your recipient in Kenya.
- Combine multiple items from multiple UK shops into one consolidated shipment — saving significant cost.
Our Kenya recipients receive WhatsApp notifications at each stage — so the person receiving the gift knows exactly when it’s arriving.
Do You Need to Handle Kenya Customs?
No. This is one of Triple A’s biggest advantages over generic courier companies.
Most couriers — DHL, Royal Mail, Parcel Monkey — hand your parcel to a third-party customs broker in Kenya. This creates delays, unexpected fees, and communication gaps.
Triple A handles KRA clearance internally through our licensed sister company, Azaanex. This means:
- Faster KRA processing — cleared daily, not occasionally
- Correct duty classification — reducing the risk of inspection or holds
- Transparent charges — all Kenya-end costs are declared upfront
- No back-and-forth between your recipient and unfamiliar customs agents
Your recipient doesn’t deal with Kenya customs. We do.
Packaging Your Parcel for Kenya
Follow these packaging guidelines to ensure your goods arrive safely:
- Use a sturdy double-walled box for heavy items — single-wall boxes often fail in consolidation freight.
- Wrap all fragile items individually in bubble wrap and cushion with packing peanuts or newspaper.
- Seal all seams with strong packing tape — not standard sticky tape.
- Label the outside clearly with the recipient’s full name, address, and Kenyan phone number.
- Include a packing list inside the box matching your declaration — this speeds up KRA clearance.
If you’re unsure how to pack your items, our Southall warehouse team can assist with professional packing and wooden crating for fragile or high-value goods.
