Important Information

Heavy Equipment Deliveries

Common Shipping Questions

Can I track my delivery in real time?

Yes. All deliveries within Kenya are dispatched on GPS-tracked vehicles. Once your order is dispatched, you will receive a tracking link via SMS or WhatsApp.

Do you deliver to upper floors?

Standard delivery includes ground-floor offloading. For upper-floor delivery of heavy laboratory equipment, additional lifting equipment or manpower may be required at an additional fee.

What if my equipment arrives damaged?

All shipments are insured. If you notice any damage upon delivery, note it on the delivery receipt immediately and contact our team within 48 hours. We will arrange for inspection and either repair or replace the damaged equipment at no cost.

How is the county delivery fee calculated?

County delivery fees range from KES 5,000 to KES 15,000 and are determined by the destination county, the size and weight of your equipment, and any special handling requirements.

Can I combine delivery with installation?

Absolutely. While delivery and installation are priced separately, you can request both services when placing your order. Our team will coordinate delivery and installation scheduling.
