Frequently asked questions
Which African countries do you deliver to?
All 54 African countries. We have established partners in Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, DRC, Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Kenya and more.
How much does it cost to send a 20 kg box?
It depends on country and mode. Air freight for 20 kg to West Africa typically starts around $250 CAD. Sea freight is much cheaper for non-urgent shipments.
Can I ship electronics, phones and laptops?
Yes — these are common items. Some countries require import permits for phones; we'll guide you on what's needed.
Are there items I can't ship?
Yes — no hazardous materials, weapons, perishable food in air shipments, or counterfeit goods. We'll flag any issues before pickup.
Will my recipient pay customs at delivery?
Most parcels are shipped DDP — duties prepaid — so your recipient pays nothing on delivery. We'll confirm in your quote.
