24/01/2025 Shyleen Wangari No Comment
At Crafts of Africa, we’re passionate about bringing you the finest handcrafted treasures from across the African continent. We source unique and authentic pieces made with traditional techniques and exquisite materials, ensuring you receive a one-of-a-kind item to cherish.
With the growing global demand for African artistry, choosing the right shipping method is crucial for both efficiency and reliability. Here, we’ll guide you through the shipping methods we use, with a special focus on our express air shipping with DHL.
The Different Shipping Methods
Shipping can be done through three main channels: air freight, sea freight, and road transport. While sea freight is suitable for bulk orders and offers cost savings, it tends to take longer and may not always guarantee the safety of fragile crafts. Road transport, on the other hand, is ideal for regional deliveries but is limited to specific geographic areas.
For international orders, air freight is the fastest and most reliable method, especially for smaller, high-value shipments. It minimizes transit time and reduces the risk of damage, making it the preferred choice for delivering our handcrafted treasures.
Why We Use Express Air Shipping with DHL

At Crafts of Africa, we’ve partnered with DHL, a globally trusted courier service, to bring you express air shipping. Here’s why this method stands out:
- Speed: Time is of the essence when delivering handmade goods. DHL’s express air shipping ensures your package arrives at your doorstep within a few days, no matter where you are in the world.
- Reliability: With DHL’s robust tracking system, you can monitor your shipment every step of the way. This transparency guarantees peace of mind.
- Careful Handling: Our crafts are one-of-a-kind, often delicate, and carry cultural significance. DHL’s expertise in handling fragile items ensures they are delivered in pristine condition.
- Global Reach: DHL’s extensive network allows us to deliver to nearly every corner of the world, making African crafts accessible to a global audience.
