Preparing Your Shipment
When your shipment is ready, please submit to us details about your shipment. Use the convenient form on our Shipping List page.
Packing
Do not ship partly-filled cardboard boxes, or else the box is likely to be collapsed by a heavy box stacked on top of it. To avoid problems, fill the gaps with bubble wrap, shipping peanuts or clothing.
Suitcases
Suitcases are acceptable. However, we generally recommend that you wrap them in sturdy plastic and packing tape to ensure that they will not break open during transit.

Crating
Large heavy objects, such as machinery, medical equipment, office photo copiers; and fragile goods must be packed in a wooden crate. Furniture may need to be crated - except if it's in its original factory packing (carefully padded) in which case it may be acceptable.
Restrictions
East Africa Carriers does not accept shipments of guns, ammunition, explosives, nor any other sort of dangerous goods. We also cannot accept anything which contains oil or gasoline.
