Savo Store makes it easy for you to shop from any U.S. online store and ship your items to Kenya. If you already have a debit or credit card and want to make your own purchases, our Shipping Only service is the best way to get started.
What Is Shipping Only?
Shipping Only means you do the shopping, and we handle the shipping. You buy items from any U.S. online store (like Amazon, Target, or Walmart), ship them to your personal Savo Store U.S. address, and we take care of getting them to Kenya via air or ocean freight.
This is our most popular service, and it’s perfect for customers who:
Already have a U.S.-accepted payment method (any debit or credit card)
Want control over where and how they shop
Prefer faster processing with lower costs
Step 1: Set Up Your Account
Before placing an order, create a free Savo Store account. Once you're logged in, you’ll gain access to your U.S. warehouse addresses in:
California – Supports consolidation, lower minimum charges
Oregon – Ideal for tax-free shopping, no consolidation

Step 2: Place Your Order on a U.S. Website
Visit any U.S. online store and shop as you normally would.
At checkout, enter your Savo Store U.S. address as the shipping address.
If you're using the Oregon address, remember to include the word Savo after your full name.
Always copy and paste the street address from your dashboard to avoid typos.
Use your own address as the billing address.
Step 3: Create Your Savo Store Order
Once your package has been shipped to our warehouse, click here to create a Shipping Only order in your Savo Store account by providing:

This information helps us process and deliver your shipment efficiently.
