Furniture Shipping Cost from Nairobi to Karachi

Shipping from Kenya to the USA varies widely, with air freight costing roughly $4.40 - $13+ per kg (cheaper for bulk, pricier for small parcels) and sea freight for containers starting around $3,000-$6,000+, depending on volume and urgency, plus potential customs fees and surcharges. Smaller, urgent parcels might see prices from $9-$20 for 1-2kg via premium couriers, while larger or heavier shipments get better per-kg rates.

The "best" shipping company depends on your needs: USPS is great for cheap, lightweight domestic packages; UPS excels in reliable, guaranteed domestic deliveries (especially heavy items); FedEx is strong for fast, time-sensitive shipments and international tracking; and DHL is a top choice for speedy, global express shipping with excellent tracking. For < 1lb, USPS wins on price; for heavy/urgent, UPS/FedEx are better; for international, DHL is often superior.

Yes, Amazon ships to Kenya, but not for all products, often requiring you to use freight forwarders like Kentex Cargo or Arab Africa Cargo, who provide US addresses and handle logistics for a fee, making it easier and sometimes cheaper for electronics and other items Amazon doesn't directly ship. Direct Amazon shipping can be expensive, have long times, and encounter "can't ship" errors, so freight forwarders offer assisted purchasing, package consolidation, and customs clearance.
