🇰🇪East Africa market · East Africa corridor
Nairobi warehousing and COD delivery across Kenya, run by one operator.
MFT stores your stock in Nairobi, confirms orders with customers before dispatch, delivers across Kenyan cities and serviceable regions, collects cash on delivery and reconciles it back to you — with PUDO pickup and returns handling when door delivery keeps failing.

Local operating reality
Built for Kenya's fast-moving, COD-heavy e-commerce market.
Kenya has one of the region's most active online selling environments, with sellers using websites, marketplaces, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, and direct customer channels. The challenge is not getting orders — it is holding stock somewhere reliable, confirming buyers before dispatch, managing cash on delivery, handling returns, and reaching customers in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and other serviceable regions without burning delivery attempts. MFT Kenya is built for sellers who need a practical warehousing and delivery partner instead of managing stock, riders, and customer follow-ups alone.
Check your Kenya route before you send stock
Share a location pin or enter a county and town / area. MFT confirms which services are available for that exact route — nothing is marked covered until an operator verifies it.
Your browser asks permission before sharing a pin, and MFT uses the location only to review serviceability. WhatsApp opens a draft you choose whether to send. MFT does not detect your location by IP address.
Honest comparison
Comparing fulfilment companies in Kenya? Here's exactly what MFT runs.
Most Kenyan sellers shortlist two or three providers before committing stock. So rather than claim to be the best, here is a plain list of what MFT operates in Kenya and what it does not — use it to compare against any other provider on your list.
What MFT runs in Kenya
- A Nairobi warehouse where your stock is received, counted and stored
- Customer confirmation calls before a COD parcel is dispatched
- Pick, pack and dispatch against your orders
- Door delivery in Nairobi and quoted routes to other Kenyan towns
- Cash on delivery collected and reconciled on an agreed payout schedule
- PUDO pickup points for customers where door delivery keeps failing
- Returns collected, inspected and restocked where the product allows
- Cross-border routes to Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia under one operator
What MFT does not cover
- No guaranteed nationwide same-day delivery — routes outside Nairobi are quoted individually
- No published flat rate card; pricing depends on product, weight, volume and route
- No automatic marketplace or courier integrations beyond the ones agreed at onboarding
- No storage of restricted, perishable or unlicensed regulated products
- No informal rider cash arrangements — COD is reconciled against your order list

Warehousing and storage
Warehousing solutions in Kenya: where your stock sits and what happens next.
Storage only matters if the stock can be picked, packed and dispatched the same operating day. These are the states operations has signed off — not a warehouse brochure.
Where your stock actually sits
MFT receives, stores and picks stock in Nairobi. Storage capacity is confirmed against your product type, monthly volume and how long stock sits before it moves. Upcountry orders ship out of Nairobi on scheduled runs — there is no second storage location in Kenya.
MFT does not operate its own facility in Kenya. The storage and dispatch arrangement is named in writing before you ship, so you always know who is holding your stock.

Ecommerce sellers
Ecommerce fulfillment and shipping in Kenya.
Two questions online sellers ask before they move stock into a new African market — answered from this market's own operating record.
Ecommerce fulfillment services in Kenya
Ecommerce fulfillment services in Kenya start at the Nairobi bench: stock is received against a goods-in count, stored under your own SKU list, then picked and packed per order rather than in daily batches. Refused and undelivered parcels come back through the same bench with a reason code attached. That is what makes an order traceable later, when a buyer disputes what arrived.
Ecommerce shipping from Nairobi
Ecommerce shipping out of Nairobi runs against a published dispatch cut-off (same-day dispatch on orders confirmed before the daily cut-off, scheduled runs — confirmed at onboarding) onto the Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Uasin Gishu coverage rows. Where a buyer is not home, collection is available on the Nairobi, Mombasa rows. Cash on delivery is captured per order in KES and reconciled against your manifest.
Service availability

Pick the destination and, if your stock sits in another market, the origin. Answers come from the verified coverage rows — an unconfigured route says so rather than guessing.

How the operation works
One order, end to end, in Kenya.
Five stages, in the order they happen. Nothing here depends on a route MFT does not run.
- 1
Stock arrives
Inventory is received and counted in Nairobi. MFT's scope begins after destination-country customs clearance — MFT is not your customs broker.
- 2
Order lands
Your order file reaches MFT and is picked and packed against your SKU list.
- 3
Customer confirms
The customer is contacted on WhatsApp to confirm the order and delivery window before a rider is dispatched.
- 4
Delivery attempt
The parcel moves on a route MFT runs in Kenya. Service level follows the coverage row for that destination.
- 5
Money and reconciliation
Collected KES is reconciled line by line against your manifest, with the delivery outcome and reason code on the same statement.
Customs and clearance support depends on product type, route, destination market, and documentation provided.
Cash on delivery
How COD money moves in Kenya.
COD is a cash-handling responsibility, not a checkbox. Amounts are collected and settled in KES.

Merchant use cases
How sellers typically use MFT in Kenya.
Operational situations MFT supports — not endorsements or guaranteed outcomes.
Local sellers scaling in Kenya
Brands graduating from self-fulfillment use MFT to hold stock, pack orders, and dispatch consistently across Kenya as monthly volume grows.
Sellers handling cash on delivery
Operators whose buyers prefer COD use MFT's structured collection and remittance flow instead of chasing payments rider by rider.
Brands managing failed deliveries and returns
Sellers with high reattempt or returns volume use MFT's confirmed-before-dispatch flow plus PUDO collection to keep delivery costs under control.
These illustrate the kinds of seller and partner situations MFT typically supports. Exact scope, pricing, and outcomes depend on market, product category, route, and operating period.
FAQ
Coverage, collection and dispute questions
Delivery windows, where PUDO collection is available, how disputes are reviewed — and the rest of the common questions about MFT in Kenya.
These are the published service levels on the Kenya coverage rows — Nairobi: same day to 1 working day, Mombasa and Nakuru: 1–3 working days, Kisumu: 2–3 working days and Uasin Gishu: 2–4 working days. Dispatch depends on the cut-off (same-day dispatch on orders confirmed before the daily cut-off and scheduled runs — confirmed at onboarding), and the actual window a buyer experiences also depends on customer confirmation, parcel dimensions and the route schedule for that area. For anywhere outside those rows the route is reviewed before an order is accepted; no delivery window is promised until onboarding confirms it.
Collection is available on the Nairobi and Mombasa coverage rows in Kenya. These are vetted partner-operated locations, not MFT-owned branches, so the specific collection point, its opening hours, the holding deadline and the collection evidence required are sent to the buyer with the pickup notification rather than published here.
You raise a line-level query using the reconciliation reference or the parcel reference, within the window stated in your service schedule. MFT then reviews the order reference, the delivery or collection reason code, the custody and rider record, the delivery or collection evidence, the amount collected in Kenyan shilling (KES) and the payout batch the line sits in before the query is closed. Outcomes follow that evidence — no automatic refund and no fixed resolution time are promised unless your contract states one.
Active coverage is anchored in Nairobi, with delivery into Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and selected up-country towns. Routes beyond these are reviewed case by case based on volume, product type, and rider availability.
MFT is one of several fulfilment companies in Kenya, and the right fit depends on your volume, product type, and routes. We publish a clear checklist of what MFT runs in Kenya and what we don't, so you can compare us honestly against any other provider on your list.
At the door the rider confirms the buyer and order, counts cash or takes payment on an M-Pesa Till or Paybill, waits for the confirmation SMS, then hands over the parcel and marks it delivered. We reconcile against the order manifest daily and remit in Kenyan shillings on an agreed cadence. COD is eligible for orders with a captured phone and address inside our Kenyan coverage zone, in allowed categories, and under a per-parcel value ceiling agreed at onboarding — higher-value or restricted items go prepaid or PUDO. If the buyer refuses, isn't reachable, or pays only part, the rider logs a reason code and the parcel is rescheduled up to the agreed number of attempts, then held at a nearby PUDO point or returned to the Nairobi hub for you to restock, retry, or recall.
PUDO points are hosted by vetted local shops, pharmacies, and agents in Nairobi and expanding secondary towns. Buyers who miss a door delivery, or who prefer to collect on their own time, can pick up from the nearest agent — reducing failed attempts and COD losses.
Refused or undelivered parcels are logged, brought back to the Nairobi hub, and quality-checked against your return rules. You choose the next step per SKU — restock, dispose, or return to sender — and we surface the reason (wrong item, buyer no-show, damaged, refused COD) so you can act on repeat issues.
Yes. Kenya sits inside our East Africa corridor, and we coordinate regional stock movement between Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, and Kampala. MFT handles the logistics leg; customs clearance, licences, and duty payment stay with the seller and their licensed broker.
Submit a quote with your product category, stock origin, target Kenyan cities, and monthly order volume. The Nairobi team confirms coverage, proposes a warehousing and delivery setup, and walks you through intake so orders can start flowing.
COD collected during the day is reconciled against your order manifest that night and remitted in Kenyan shillings on the payout cadence fixed at onboarding — not left open-ended. Each payment arrives with the reconciliation report behind it, so every shilling ties back to named orders, and short or disputed collections are flagged with a reason code instead of being netted off quietly.
COD is configured on the Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Uasin Gishu coverage rows published on the Kenya country page. Anything outside those rows goes through route review before COD is switched on, because a collection we cannot reconcile is worse for you than a prepaid order.
Collections settle in Kenyan shilling (KES). Reconciliation runs daily, against your order manifest, and payout timing is confirmed in your kenya service schedule — the schedule is written into your agreement rather than left open. Every payment arrives with the reconciliation reference behind it, so each amount ties back to named orders.
The rider logs a reason code at the point of refusal — refused, not reachable, wrong address, part payment — and the parcel is rescheduled up to the attempt count agreed at onboarding. After that it is held for collection where a pickup point is available, or brought back to the Nairobi intake for you to restock, retry or recall. The reason code stays attached to the order so repeat failure patterns are visible instead of anecdotal.
Parcels routed to a pickup point are held at a vetted partner location in Nairobi and Mombasa. The buyer gets a collection notification with the parcel reference, collects during the partner's own opening hours, and the collection is logged against the order. Where COD applies, the partner takes payment on collection using the same methods as door delivery.
Collection is verified against the parcel reference and the phone number on the order. Partner locations ask for the reference and, where the order is high value or the collector is not the buyer, identification matching the order name. Rules that go beyond that — a fixed value threshold, a signature requirement — are set in your service schedule so your customer-facing copy can state them accurately.
Returns run on the Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Uasin Gishu rows. A parcel that is refused, undelivered after the agreed attempts, or left uncollected past its holding window is logged against the original order, brought back for inspection at intake, and resolved on your instruction — restock, hold or return to sender. Who bears each leg and the holding window itself are commercial terms in your agreement, not a site-wide promise.
Stock for Kenya is received and held under the arrangement named on the Kenya country page before you ship anything — Nairobi is the working intake and dispatch point for this market. Goods-in is counted against your manifest, discrepancies are raised the same operating day, and you are told in writing who is holding the stock rather than being given a generic "our warehouse" answer.
Storage, goods-in counting, pick and pack, labelling and dispatch handover run as one sequence for Kenya — stored stock is only useful if it can leave on the same operating day, so both sides sit with the same team. Packaging specification, insert handling and any SKU-level rules are set at onboarding and applied per order, not improvised at the bench.
MFT supports major cities and serviceable regions. Exact delivery coverage, timelines, COD availability, and PUDO options depend on location, product type, order volume, and operating route.
