A good value parcel

Very good found a very good price to return an item to India and was kept informed along the way and when it was delivered from the parcel company.

Couldn't have gone smoother.

Service was impeccable. Driver turned up to collect at correct time, despite potentially being a difficult place to find within the hospital. Driver was very smart and polite. Tracking was updated regularly and delivery on date as expected.

How it works

Parcel post to Africa

Parcel Post services takes a bit longer than express but offer Fasttrack customs clearance and cheap prices.

Check out our amazing prices with the Nigerian Postal service, Egypt Post, Algérie post, Poste Maroc, and many other African post offices.

Import from Africa to the UK

Whether you’re an entrepreneur who wants to start importing African goods into the UK, or you’re living in the UK and missing some home comforts, our Africa to UK shipping service offers exceptional value.

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.
