Send a package to Cameroon with DHL

We have some DHL services that are reliable and affordable for those who need a shipping service to Douala, Yaounde and beyond. DHL eCommerce is very cheap compared to many other courier services, so much so it is almost $100 cheaper to use than the next cheapest service for a 10lbs package. 

DHL eCommerce is a tracked mail service that allows you to send your items economically. You print the shipping labels out and drop your package off at a local USPS Post Office. From here it will be transported to a depot where it is sorted and then sent out of the US to Cameroon. The service is tracked, but only when it is scanned in the sorting depot and upon delivery. This means the shipping costs can be kept low, whilst you are still informed of the whereabouts of your package. DHL is a tracked mail service so transit times are between 11-22 working days. 

Express shipping to Cameroon 

Sometimes a package needs to be sent quickly overseas, maybe if the goods are time sensitive or it is being shipped for business reasons so we also have express courier delivery to Cameroon.

  • We offer a DHL Express courier services for those who need a quicker transit time, which is picked up from your doorstep and handled only by DHL. 
  • Parcel Monkey's hybrid delivery service also makes use of DHL. USA Express International is a courier service collected by FedEx and delivered in Cameroon by DHL. 
  • USPS Priority Mail allows you to make use of the US Post Office for a discounted rate 

We also offer some International Drop Off services where FedEx take care of the package from the moment you drop it off at the FedEx store right through to delivery. 

Export and trade information 

Cameroon is a fairly populous country in West Africa, home to 22 million people and it is known for having some of the most abundant amounts of natural resources in sub-Saharan Africa, with principle exports of crude oil, petroleum, lumber, cocoa, aluminium, coffee and cotton. The biggest trade partnership Cameroon has is with France, which takes approximately 20% of its exports. With so much export and import business ongoing in the cities of Cameroon such as Douala, Yaoundé and Garoua, it is essential that businesses and families can send what they need to Cameroon with fast and reliable couriers.

eCommerce in Cameroon

Bordered by 6 other African countries including Nigeria, Chad and Gabon, Cameroon is well connected and has extensive trade relationships. but online shopping has not yet been embraced as much as it has been in South Africa and neighbouring Nigeria. Currently, only 6.4% of its 22 million population are internet users. With cities such as Douala expanding so quickly, there is often the problem of final mile delivery for parcels, so be sure to provide correct contact numbers for recipients when sending parcels to Cameroon.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer door to door delivery?

    The Parcel Monkey marketplace uses a shipping calculator to find the best prices for shipping your items door to door via a range of different couriers. 

    With full tracking on almost all of our delivery services, you can follow your package from the moment it leaves you until it arrives with the recipient. We always advise providing the contact number of the recipient so that if needed, the courier can contact them to resolve any issues with the delivery.

    Some of our courier services are delivered to a local Post Office, where the recipient will need to collect the package from such as with DHL eCommerce to some remote areas so it is essential to provide a working contact number. Items shipped with Parcel Monkey are also done so DDU, so it might be that Customs need to collect payment from the recipient before delivery. We offer Customs Advice to help with the completion of any Customs Documents.

  • Can I add protection cover to my order?

    When you place an order via the Parcel Monkey marketplace, during the booking process you can add protection cover to your item. As long as your item is not prohibited, has been packaged properly and you follow our Claims Procedure, you will be protected should your item be lost or damaged. 

    Some of our services offer no protection cover, but others do and some even offer free cover up to a certain value. You can view this information when you get a price via our shipping calculator. 

    Please ensure that the item is not on the prohibited items list as this will make it void.

    It is also vital to remember your package is going to be sent with global carriers, likely to be handled in various customs and airport departments so be sure to package the item correctly so it is well protected and cannot move around in the box.

  • How long will it take for my package to be delivered?

    Before you choose how to send your package, consider how quickly you need it to arrive. Transit times depend on two key factors- the shipping destination and the courier service you choose from the Parcel Monkey marketplace. 

    When choosing a courier from our marketplace, we will display an estimated delivery time, provided by the couriers themselves as they handle the goods.

    You can see how long it will take to arrive with the receiver and we advise that you share this tracking with the recipient so they can see when it is set to arrive. Always provide the recipient contact number when you book in case the delivery courier needs to contact them. 

    You can choose slower economy services such as DHL eCommerce if looking to save on the cost, or you can choose a speedy Express service that gets the package delivered more quickly like our 2-5 day International Drop Off service provided by FedEx, also available as a Pickup.
