Send a parcel, box or gift from the UK to Kenya from £7.99/kg — with in-house KRA customs clearance via Azaanex Holdings Ltd. No hidden fees, no customs surprise when your parcel arrives in Kenya. Couriers like DHL and Parcelforce warn their customers about extra duties on arrival. We include them. All of them.
Send Parcel to Kenya from UK - Without the Customs Surprise
When you send parcel to Kenya from UK, every major courier — DHL, Parcelforce, Parcel2Go, TransGlobal, Parcel Monkey — quotes a price that does NOT include KRA customs clearance, Kenyan import duties, VAT 16% or IDF. The recipient pays all of that separately on arrival at Mombasa or Nairobi.
Triple A is different. Our all-inclusive rate covers UK collection, air or sea freight, KRA customs clearance via Azaanex Holdings Ltd, all import duties, VAT, IDF 3.5% and RDL 2%. What we quote is what you pay. One Clear Price of the Kenya-side process as quoted.
For a 5kg parcel, DHL might quote £45. But the recipient then pays KRA clearance, duties and handling on arrival — easily adding £30–80 depending on contents. With Triple A, the £39.95 total includes shipping and clearance.
The key difference: Azaanex Holdings Ltd — our licensed KRA clearing agent in Nairobi — is part of the Triple A operation. We don't outsource. We clear in-house. That's why we can guarantee the price.
You can. But every single one of those services warns you — in their own words — that customs duties and taxes may be charged separately on arrival in Kenya. The recipient pays. DHL's own page says it. Parcel2Go says it. Royal Mail says it. That's the hidden cost most people discover only when their parcel is held at JKIA or Mombasa Port.

Price Guide
Cheapest Way to Send a Parcel to Kenya — Honest Comparison 2026
Looking for a cheap parcel to Kenya from the UK? The cheapest way to send parcel to Kenya from UK depends on weight and urgency. Here’s the honest breakdown — and why Triple A beats every major courier on total landed cost once you factor in Kenya-side clearance.
🚢 Cheapest Overall
£2.95/kg
Sea Freight — 40–45 Days
Best for parcels over 10kg, household goods, student boxes and non-urgent shipments. Two guaranteed sailings per month from Southall to Mombasa Port.
✈️ Best Value Urgent
£7.99/kg
Air Freight — 3 Business Days
Best for gifts, electronics, urgent parcels and items under 10kg. Weekly Friday Southall dispatch. KRA clearance included — no courier competes on total landed cost.
⚠️ Courier Alternative
£15–40/kg
DHL / Parcelforce / Parcel2Go
Courier rate shown is before Kenya customs. The recipient pays KRA clearance, VAT 16%, IDF and handling separately on arrival — total landed cost is significantly higher.
The real comparison: A 5kg parcel with Triple A costs £39.95 all-inclusive to any Kenya address. A 5kg parcel with DHL may look cheaper at the checkout — but the recipient then pays KRA clearance, duties and handling fees in Kenya. Total landed cost with Triple A is almost always lower for parcels over 2kg.

You cannot send firearms, narcotics, counterfeit goods, hazardous materials, mercury-based cosmetics or KRA-prohibited items. All parcels require a full itemised packing list with declared values.
Sea freight at £2.95/kg (40–45 days) is the cheapest for heavier parcels over 10kg. Air freight at £7.99/kg is best value for lighter parcels under 5kg when you factor in that KRA clearance is included — most "cheap" couriers add clearance fees at the destination that can cost more than the shipping itself.
Get a quote from Triple A, book your collection or drop off at our Southall warehouse, and we do the rest. Air freight lands at JKIA Nairobi in 3 business days, with KRA clearance via Azaanex Holdings Ltd and delivery to any Nairobi address — Westlands, Kilimani, Karen, Eastlands, Thika Road, Industrial Area and beyond.
Air freight delivers to Mombasa in 3 business days. Sea freight arrives at Mombasa Port in 40–45 days — ideal for heavy shipments. Both are one clear price. Our Nairobi team (Azaanex Holdings Ltd) handles clearance at Mombasa Port and arranges onward delivery to any Mombasa or Coast Province address.
Yes, although this is chargeable — we offer UK-wide collection from any postcode including Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, Leeds, Edinburgh, Cardiff and all other UK cities. Alternatively, use Royal Mail, Evri, DPD or Parcelforce to drop your parcel at our Southall warehouse (Unit Z01, 8A Canal Yard, Hayes Road, Southall UB2 5NA), open Monday–Friday 09:30–17:30 and Saturday 09:30–15:00.
For most parcel weights, significantly yes. DHL's rate excludes KRA customs clearance, Kenyan VAT (16%), IDF (3.5%) and RDL (2%) — the recipient pays all of that separately on arrival in Kenya. A 5kg parcel with Triple A costs £39.95 all-in. With DHL, you pay their courier rate plus your recipient pays separate clearance and duty fees at JKIA or Mombasa. Triple A is always the lower total landed cost.
Yes. Phones, laptops, tablets and accessories are among the most common items we ship. Electronics are cleared through KRA as personal effects where applicable — reducing or eliminating duty. KEBS PVoC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) is required for certain regulated electronics imported commercially into Kenya. For personal use items, our team at Azaanex handles the correct classification to minimise your duty exposure.
In most cases, yes but this is chargeable — UK-wide collection from any postcode, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Leeds, Nottingham and all other cities. Alternatively, drop your parcel free of charge at our Southall warehouse: Unit Z01, 8A Canal Yard, Hayes Road, Southall UB2 5NA — open Mon–Fri 09:30–17:30 and Sat 09:30–15:00.
Yes — we deliver to all 47 Kenya counties including Nairobi (all estates), Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Nyeri, Malindi, Kitale, Machakos and beyond. Air freight reaches JKIA Nairobi in 3 business days. Sea freight arrives at Mombasa Port in 40–45 days. Our Nairobi-based Azaanex team handles clearance and arranges onward delivery across Kenya.
Both services use the same shipping and clearance infrastructure, but parcel shipping is for boxes, packages and goods you want to send independently (you don't need to be travelling). Excess baggage refers to personal luggage — suitcases and bags — often shipped as an alternative to paying airline excess fees. Both are quoted one clear price at Triple A with full KRA clearance via Azaanex included.
Use a sturdy double-walled box. Fill empty spaces with bubble wrap or paper to prevent movement. Wrap fragile items individually. Include a full itemised packing list with declared values for every item — this is required for KRA customs clearance. Label the outside with sender and recipient names and addresses clearly. We can supply boxes and packing materials at our Southall warehouse if needed.
Yes — completely. Triple A sends parcels as freight, not as accompanied baggage. You don’t need a flight, a ticket or any connection to Kenya to send a parcel. Book online or via WhatsApp, we collect from your UK address, and your parcel is delivered to any Kenya address. This is our standard parcel delivery service.
Sea freight at £2.95/kg is the cheapest option for parcels over 10kg (40–45 days transit). For lighter or urgent parcels, air freight at £7.99/kg (3 days) offers the best value when you factor in that KRA clearance, VAT 16%, IDF 3.5% and RDL 2% are all included — most couriers charge these separately in Kenya, making their “cheap” headline rate much more expensive in total.
For parcels over 2–3kg heading to Kenya, yes — Triple A offers a lower total landed cost. DHL delivers fast but their price excludes KRA customs clearance and Kenyan import duties, which the recipient pays separately on collection in Kenya. Triple A’s all-inclusive rate via Azaanex Holdings Ltd means no unexpected charges for your recipient. For urgent documents under 1kg, DHL’s express service may be faster.
The same way as any Kenya delivery. Book with Triple A, we collect from your UK address, ship by air (3 days to JKIA Nairobi) or sea (40–45 days to Mombasa), and our Nairobi team (Azaanex Holdings Ltd) clears the parcel through KRA and arranges onward delivery to Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Meru, Nyeri or any other Kenya county. All 47 counties covered.
