Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy Chinese products in Kenya?
Tumisha is a China–Kenya cross-border buying agent app. Search Taobao and other Chinese marketplaces in English, Chinese, or by photo — you don't need to read Chinese. Place your order and leave the rest to us: our China team buys and pays on your behalf, combines multiple parcels into one at our warehouse, and delivers to Kenya in 7–14 days once your items arrive at the China warehouse.
Factory-direct sourcing from 1688 is in commercial negotiation and coming soon — no middleman markup.
How long does shipping from China to Kenya take?
Air freight (the default option): 7–14 days to Kenya once your items arrive at the China warehouse. Bought several items? They can be combined into one parcel at the warehouse to save on freight. Not in a hurry? Sea freight typically takes 45–55 days depending on sailing schedules.
How do I pay from Kenya?
Everything is settled in Kenyan Shillings (KES) — pay with M-Pesa mobile money or bank cards; the checkout page shows the payment options currently available. For B2B bulk business purchasing, contact sjkj@tumisha.com.
How much is the service fee?
One service fee only — a percentage (shown at checkout) of your goods order value. You pay twice in total: when placing the order (goods + service fee), and before dispatch for international shipping billed by actual weight. Every amount is itemized before you pay — no hidden charges.
Extra services included: photo-on-arrival at the warehouse, a visual damage check, and free self-service returns for defective items.
How do I search Chinese marketplaces if I don't know Chinese?
Three ways to search: type in English, type in Chinese, or simply take a photo — the app finds matching items automatically. Product pages can be auto-translated, and our team handles all seller communication and after-sales support. No Chinese needed.
