I don't know but you need to change the title of the thread. As it is it looks like somebody promoting his/her shipping services and not looking for how to ship from US. That's why I never bothered to open it and think some who might help are thinking the same too.

I have shipped over 30 power regulation microchips, my recent consignment arrived slightly over a week ago through fedex. They take literally 3 days to ship it right to your doorstep (at home) and tracking is in realtime (you can use you phone to see where your consignment is as it comes). They are the most reliable guys I have used for the last 2 years

@ Mbithi I took an automation bsc course in UoN dealing with micro-controllers. These micro-controllers need users to program them at hardware level and provide them with very very stable power. The power regulation microchips supply them with pricise power at any instance like the the way the intel chip in your pc requires very sensitive control otherwise it will be get destroyed in a matter of days.

These apparently are very tiny devices (smaller than flash disks). So when customs frisks fedex what they have brought in and see these spider like chips they don't jump at them with ridiculous taxations but it also depends on the mood of guys at customs... yes its that bad as if customs has pms

@Drobos fly, i use fedex too for other items however taxes & bulk shipping cost are pushing me for an alternative.

my cargo is lcl(less than container load) so a freight forwarder who will deliver to nairobi for one cost.
