Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone as ever used Ilamos air cargo to send goods to kenya and whether they've had any problems. I used them to send goods in April, 2012 (Air Freight) and was to be delivered in approximately 4days. Up to date the goods have not been delivered. Initially I was patient and gave him the benefit of the doubt when he said that there was a problem with the airline. It's now 10/06/2012, he's no longer answering my calls nor texts and neither is their guy in Kenya. Needless to say, I had also paid the freight charges in advance. Can someone please advise? Has anyone else had a similar experience with them? I would really appreciate all the help.

You do biz with some wolalo based in UK and they ask you to collect your goods from their warehouse in Eastleigh??

Are you serious? What is ILAMOS? are they even registered?
Take a look at their website and God help you.

The name Ilamos is Somali back to front. I wouldn't trust such a dumb brand.

Thanks for your replies. I had actually used them 3 times prior to that to send goods and was delivered with no problem at all. I guess it was a case of the usual conmen..pretend to do the right job the first few times to gain trust and then disappear @essyk on a hindsight perhaps it was foolish, but had no reason not to as I paid in advance for my previous. Anyway, If anyone has sent any goods with them, and encountered the same problem, please post here

@kimbelembele,
since the guys seem to be registered and operate from a physical address in UK, can't you report them to the cops?

@money whisperer my next step is to take legal action and report them to the relevant authorities of which I'll be doing this week. I hope anyone else who reads this keeps away from this so called company. They've caused me a lot of distress and inconvenience.

I've used these guys several times... but not lately...

Its true they are a breakaway from Salhiya..

Of course there's bad blood between the two so in some cases sabotage...
Ilamos are cheaper than Salihiya, but Salhiya are more efficient

Hiyo story ya four day to deliver has never existed... Its more like 10 days with Illamos... 7 days at best!

Its too early now but I could check on them later... (after 10am- UK time)

@jwatha I can understand if it's 1wk to 2wks but I gave them the goods to send in April which is approx 7 weeks to date. They last promised that the goods will be delivered on Thursday last week and this is from Majid assistant as he's no longer answering my calls nor texts. I've left messages for him to call me back but he hasn't. At one point I even asked him if my goods were lost or a case of sabotage but he said no just problems with the airline. Surely if there is nothing to hide then why would he not just contact me and explain? Salihiya are more efficient though expensive hence the reason I used Ilamos
