AIR SHIPPING
Shop online and ship to our UAE, China, and Turkey Addresses. We consolidate and deliver to you.
Our air freight service rate is between $12 – $15/Kg depending on country and city of shipping based on the actual or volumetric weight of the package – whichever is higher.
How does it work?

Step 3:

After completing your shopping, you will receive an invoice detailing the shipping costs. Make the necessary payment to proceed with the shipping process.
Step 4:
Dispatch and Delivery
Once payment is received, our logistics team swings into action. We organize the air freight from UAE, China, or Turkey to Uganda. Expect your package to be delivered to the specified destination within 7 -15 days by air freight.
How do we calculate your shipping costs?
We determine shipping costs based on the higher of the actual or volumetric weight of the package. Here’s an example to illustrate the calculation:
Actual Weight
Package’s actual weight is 15 Kg.
Volumetric Weight Calculation
Package dimensions (Length x Width x Height): 12 cm. x 10cm x 8 cm
Volumetric Weight = (12 x 10 x 8) / 6000 = 2.60 Kg.
Comparison
Actual Weight = 15 Kg
Volumetric Weight = 12 Kg
Determination of Shipping Cost
As the actual weight (15 Kg) is higher than the volumetric weight (12 Kg), we use the actual weight for cost calculation.
Cost Calculation
Cost of shipping = Actual Weight x Cost per Kg
Cost of shipping = 15 Kg x $15/Kg = $225
