Price Update

What’s Changing

Starting May 30, 2025, Aquantuo’s shipping rates for USA to Kenya will be updated. The new pricing tiers can be found within this document. The Buy-For-Me (BFM) service fee will be 7.5% of the order value. These changes will apply to all new bookings made on or after May 30. Existing shipments scheduled before that date will use the old rates.

Why We Are Doing This

We know price changes are not welcome news, so transparency is our policy. In recent years, global shipping costs and import expenses have risen. Even as Kenya’s inflation grows, global logistics costs have gone up. Additionally, Kenyan import fees (VAT, levies, etc.) have increased.

Additionally, we are investing in a streamlined service: improved tracking, and a stronger support team to ensure you have the peace of mind you deserve. Adjusting our rates ensures we can continue offering reliable, all-inclusive international shipping experience.

How It Affects You

These changes will help us maintain time reliability and service quality while covering higher costs. For a typical shipment, you will calculate your new rate by weight using the above tiers.

For example, a 60 kg parcel (If the higher of the actual or volumetric weight is 60kg) will cost you: 60 ×$17.50/kg = $1050

Please remember that we include customs clearance in these rates – you will not see extra surprise fees. All mandatory import taxes (Kenya’s VAT, etc.) are covered by Aquantuo.

Delivery Times

Our transit time remains fast. We ship weekly from the USA, and you can expect delivery to your address within about 5–10 business days from the ship out date.

We are ensuring consistent schedules, so your packages always arrive as you expect them to.

Payment: We recommend through our systems against your order ID.

FAQ

Will my next shipment under the new rates be charged at the old or new price?
Your shipment will use whatever pricing is in effect on the date of order received confirmation. If your order is scheduled for shipping before May 30, you keep the old rate. If you place a new shipment request on or after May 30, the new shipping rates apply.
