Yes, you can. We have an expedited delivery option where we dedicate one rider to deliver your order at the exact specified time at an extra cost of Ksh.1000. This option is applicable for locations within Nairobi county only.
For standard deliveries, it is not possible to specify an exact time of delivery. However, you can specify if you want your order to be delivered during the morning hours or during the afternoon hours.
Q. What if the recipient is not at the specified location?
If the recipient is not at the address, we will schedule the package to be returned to our office and assigned to another rider once the location has been confirmed. Considering our delivery team is outsources, you may incur an extra delivery charge for the 2nd delivery.
