Wondering how long custom merch takes in Kenya? Printing, delivery timelines, what affects your order, and how to plan ahead — honest answers from Design Yangu.
So you've found the perfect design. You know what you want. You're ready to order custom merch — but you have one question before you hit that M-Pesa button:
It's a fair question. And it's one we hear every day. So here's the honest, specific answer — what to expect from start to finish when you order custom merch in Kenya.
3 to 5 working days from the time your order is confirmed to delivery — for orders within Nairobi. Outside Nairobi, add 1–2 days for delivery.
