Great !
Parcels have been delivered with no problems. Im kept informed of the status of my parcel. The commercial invoices and customs are dealt with by you or the courier. The account is also a useful tool, making setting up a delivery quick and simple.

good tracking information and correct customs code applied for Eu ship ...
as the title claims used other carriers and they applied wrong code to my shipment and my parcel got held at customs for 14 days which can be annoying but with parcel hero they applied the correct harmonised code to my parcel to get it through customs quickly. The tracking service was good so I good monitor progress. Very Competitive too the price was reasonable compared to the the bigger parcel companies. Will use again ;)

I recommend the great service.
I knew that parcel will arrive between 5-9 days. It reached the destination within 6 days which is great. The only thing that I would change was collection. I would arrange for the collection from home as I was close to beg the person at the store to receive it in the first place. Dropping the parcel was incredibly difficult, however the service itself was great.

Doing business in Africa

Africa is a huge continent with dizzying potential. If you’re thinking of doing business in Africa, it's no longer all about the biggest countries by GDP (Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa and Algeria), because you can no longer ignore fast growing and diverse economies like Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Ghana. As these countries grow, so does the demand for international goods, presenting an incredible opportunity for UK retailers to establish their brands.

What's more many African countries have relatively low rates of Duty and VAT. For example, Nigerian VAT is 7.5%, far lower than the UK. So, if you’re a business thinking of exporting to Africa, there's never been a better time to consider it.

Every African country has their own list of prohibited items. If you’re sending anything obscure or high value we recommend you check on the local customs website before shipping.

The rate of duty varies depending on the countries you’re sending to. Check on the customs website for the country you’re sending to.

Yes, you can send personal effects to Africa. However some African countries prohibit the importation of certain products, for example historical artifacts or restricted commodities like Ivory. Check on the customs website for the destination you’re sending to for further guidance.
