Kenya posta has become Greedy and this may hinder online shopping especially for those relying on posta.

I have picked about 100 parcels from AliExpress and paid no cent. The only time I payed handling fees was when the item was being taxed and I could pay both the tax and 175 bob. But I was called last week to pick my parcel and was told this time kuna handling fees. Kwa ile notification nimeona wameandika 175 so sitaipeleka heri nilipe 100 bob

do you use mpost or a physical p.o. box? do you live in Nairobi?

I use physical post I am outside Nairobi. From twitter I have learnt that this charges were introduced in November on all e commerce parcels either through mpost or physical mail

You don't even need an mpost account, just use your phone number as your address with the postcode of the post office you want to pick your item from. You will just pay 100 bob for every separate package you receive.
