Shipping Policy

Everything you need to know about delivery times, rates, and what to expect when your order is on its way.

Thank you for shopping on MYDAWA. The following are the terms and conditions that constitute our Shipping Policy.

Working Hours & Delivery Times

For all orders placed between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm, your purchase will be delivered as follows:

Orders before 8:00 pm
Nairobi County — within 4 hours
Greater Nairobi Metro — within 6 hours
Rest of Kenya — within 24 hours
Orders after 8:00 pm

Rest of Kenya — within 36 hours

Orders placed past 6 pm for the Greater Nairobi Metropolitan Area will be delivered the next day by midday. Upcountry deliveries are made via Fargo Courier.

You will receive an order confirmation SMS with your order number. If you do not receive it, your order has not been confirmed. You will also receive a notification when your order has been dispatched, and our delivery rider will contact you to confirm delivery.

During high order volumes, shipments may be delayed. We will endeavour to contact you via email or phone if this occurs.

Payment Method

After reviewing your order with our delivery agent, you may pay via M-PESA — simply enter your PIN to complete the transaction. Please ensure your M-PESA is loaded before the rider arrives. The delivery agent has a 5-minute window before proceeding with other orders. Sealed items cannot be unsealed before payment.

Pay-on-delivery is only available for deliveries within Nairobi.
Prescription Orders: Please ensure you personally receive your order to receive counselling on medicine administration, and hand over the original prescription to the delivery rider. This is a legal obligation for all prescription-only medication.
Insurance Orders: Ensure you personally receive your order, process your biometrics against your insurance card, and hand over both the original prescription and Claim Form to the rider. Without both documents, your insurer may decline to cover your medication.
