Hi good people!

Has any of you bought stuff on Amazon?And how do you get it to Kenya?
I have been thinking of buying a laptop from the site and their shipping rules seem a little complicated.Which is the best courier service to use also considering costs?

Wairegi & Kizee....thanks alot!I love Wazua.
The only problem I have is that usanotebooks.com has old machines...would like something newer & more powerful...either using amazon or ebay since they also have all sorts of discount coupons.

Not true. I am also an avid Amazon buyer and have bought other things besides books. Granted not all things can be shipped to Kenya; it depends on the retailer. Not all things on the Amazon store are sold by Amazon, other are by 3rd party retailers (who may or may not ship to Kenya)

Books are the easiest things to buy though because no duty is charged. For other things you will have to pay customs before you collect.
