Why Free Delivery is a Game-Changer for Shoppers
Share
When Sarah from BARINGO ordered her first smartphone online last year, she was excited about the great price she found—until she reached checkout. The delivery fee nearly doubled her total cost, turning what seemed like a bargain into an expensive lesson about hidden costs in online shopping.
Sarah's story isn't unique. Across Kenya, countless shoppers have experienced that sinking feeling when surprise delivery charges appear at the last moment. At Suncom Limited, we've heard these stories from our customers for years, and frankly, we got tired of being part of the problem instead of the solution.
That's why we're making a commitment that goes beyond just offering products—we're changing how we do business entirely.
The Real Cost of "Cheap" Delivery
Let's have an honest conversation about delivery costs in Kenya. Most online retailers charge between KSh 200 to KSh 1,200 for delivery, depending on location and item size. These aren't just numbers on a screen—they represent real money coming out of hardworking Kenyans' pockets.
Here's what those "small" delivery fees actually cost you over time:
-
KSh 500 delivery × 6 orders per year = KSh 3,000
-
That's enough to buy a quality power bank or wireless earbuds
-
Over three years, you've paid KSh 9,000 just in delivery fees
-
Money that could have gone toward the products you actually want
At Suncom Limited, we've served thousands of customers over the years, from university students buying their first laptop to business professionals upgrading to the latest iPhone 16 Pro. We've seen how delivery fees impact purchasing decisions, and we've decided it's time for a change.
Why We're Different: Our Track Record Speaks
Before we make any promises about free delivery, let us share who we are and why you can trust us with your hard-earned money.
Our Foundation
Suncom Limited isn't a fly-by-night operation. We've built our reputation by consistently delivering authentic products to Kenyan customers. Every Samsung Galaxy phone, every HP laptop, every Oraimo accessory in our inventory is genuine—we stake our reputation on it.
Our Product Range
We don't just sell phones. Our carefully curated selection includes:
-
Premium smartphones (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy series, OPPO)

Real Customer Stories: Why This Matters
James from Tana River needed a laptop for his consulting business. He found our HP EliteBook 840 G6 at KSh 38,000—already a great price. With free delivery, he saved an additional KSh 800 in shipping costs, which he used to buy a wireless mouse and laptop bag.
"I got everything I needed for my business setup without worrying about extra costs," James told us.
Mary from Kayole was shopping for her daughter's university smartphone. She compared prices across five different websites.
"Even though some sites had slightly lower product prices, once I added delivery costs, Suncom was not only the best value but the most transparent about pricing," she shared.
How We Make Free Delivery Sustainable
You might wonder: "If delivery costs money, how can you offer it for free without cutting corners?"
Our approach:
-
Volume partnerships – We work directly with reliable courier services, negotiating better rates through consistent volume
-
Efficient operations – We've streamlined our warehouse and fulfillment processes to reduce operational costs
-
Strategic pricing – We build delivery costs into our overall business model rather than adding them as surprise charges
-
Long-term thinking – We'd rather earn your loyalty and repeat business than maximize profit on a single transaction
This isn't about absorbing losses—it's about honest pricing and building genuine relationships with our customers.
Why Trust Matters in Kenyan E-commerce
Let's address the elephant in the room: online shopping trust. Many Kenyans remain hesitant about buying electronics online, and rightfully so.
Here's how we've earned trust:
-
Transparency: Every product listing includes detailed specifications, multiple photos, and honest descriptions.
-
Authentication: We source directly from authorized distributors. Every Samsung phone comes with official warranty support. Every Apple product is genuine and eligible for Apple Care.
-
Communication: When you place an order, you get regular updates.
-
Resolution: Mistakes happen, but we fix them—quickly and fairly.
The Broader Impact: Changing Kenyan E-commerce
By offering genuine free delivery, we're not just changing our business—we're pushing the entire Kenyan e-commerce industry toward more honest, customer-friendly practices.
When customers experience transparent pricing and reliable service, they become confident online shoppers. This confidence benefits everyone: more Kenyans embrace e-commerce, competition increases, and ultimately, all consumers get better service and prices.
