Hi,
It’s a rather complicated operation. If you use DHL for something else than documents it will cost you an arm and a leg, plus the customs duties that depend a lot on the mood of the customs person who deals with your case. If you are not in a hurry, the best option is to use Golden Gate Cargo , they have a branch in UK and they are very reliable, they ship through Dubai so it takes a bit of time (around 2 weeks

Thanks Mwaniki but DHL is expensive.

Thanks for this JL, DHL was definitely not an option I wanted to consider as sending kg+++. Will check out golden gate.

I have used Maina (Based in Southall) and Mombasa.  I have also used Kenya Air Cargo (Wembley & Nairobi).  I was happy with both.   Also try Kesom.

I've never heard of Golden Gate, but see that some reviews of their services were not particularly positive.

Thanks for the suggestions Longonot!
