Send a parcel to Somalia

The Federal Republic of Somalia occupies much of the Horn of Africa and is just surrounded by Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya as well as the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. As with many countries in the northern part of Africa, it mostly populated by Muslims and has about 43% of the population living on less than $1 a day.

Shipping times to Somalia 

The capital Mogadishu is where the vast majority of imported goods end up being delivered to, but we offer delivery to regions across Somalia. The vast population of 10 million are likely to be reached as quickly as 6 days if you choose to book our DHL Express service, which is about as quick as is possible due to the lack of transport infrastructure. 

The Parcel Monkey Air Express courier service offers delivery in 7 days and is cheapest for small parcels. For a 10kg parcel it is almost £100 cheaper than DHL Air Express but only takes one day longer to arrive so it will be no surprise to read it is the most popular international parcel delivery service to Somalia we offer. 

How many parcels do you send to Somalia?

As Somalia doesn't have a strong economy and isn't engaged in a great deal of international trade, we don't see a huge number of parcels being sent into the country - especially compared to other economies in the region. We do, however, have international parcel delivery prices essentially the same as those countries, although the length of time it takes to ship a parcel there is generally longer. Prices can start from £32.42 for a 1kg parcel via our own Air Express service to £64.57 via DHL.

What customs details do you have?

We can see that you will need prior approval if you would like to import jewellery, minerals and precious metals. We, of course, prohibit the transportation of alcohol, tobacco products and liquids.
