How to send a parcel in Nairobi
Price first, then the four routes, then M-Pesa — and a few packing habits that save a lot of trouble.
We take the worry out of getting a parcel where it belongs — safe, simple and certain, for the sender, the receiver, and the runner in between.

How it works
You see the price as soon as you say where it's going — before you're asked for anything else.
Drop at a Pod or have a rider collect from you — to a Pod or to a door. Tap the pin and we fill in your address.
Your price, and the riders around you, right away.
S to XL. Overnight, Standard, Priority or Express. Standard, Fragile or Hazardous handling.
The price updates as you choose.
Add the receiver. Confirm with a one-time code — or log in if you've sent before — and pay with M-Pesa.
We text the receiver their PIN and a tracking link.

Pay with M-Pesa. A one-time code confirms it's you — no account needed to send.
Parcels waiting at a Pod get a free collection window. Extend or send it on from the tracking page.

Price first, then the four routes, then M-Pesa — and a few packing habits that save a lot of trouble.
An ordinary pick-and-drop runs on six phone calls, because nobody shares a source of truth. One link replaces most of them.
Out of ten enquiries, how many close? The questions that lose sales are about trust — and the last one is always delivery.
Coverage is what makes people pick a delivery service or drop it. Here is how the locations get chosen.
