Have you ever found the perfect item on Amazon, only to discover it doesn’t ship to Ghana? You’re not alone. This frustrating experience affects countless shoppers across Africa who want access to Amazon’s vast product catalog but face shipping restrictions.
The good news? There’s a legitimate, straightforward solution that can get almost any Amazon product delivered right to your doorstep in Ghana. Enter Golly Express – a shipping service that’s changing how Ghanaians shop online.
The Problem with Amazon Shipping to Ghana
Amazon’s direct shipping options to Ghana are limited. Many products you’ll find on the platform simply aren’t available for international shipping to African countries. This leaves shoppers with few options and often forces them to miss out on products they need or want.
Meet Golly Express: Your Amazon Shopping Solution
Golly Express is a legitimate shipping service that bridges this gap. Think of it as your personal shopping assistant that receives packages in the US and forwards them to Ghana. The service operates through a user-friendly mobile app and offers two distinct ways to shop.
Getting Started with Golly Express
The app is currently available on Google Play Store (iOS version coming soon) and can be found by searching for “Golly Express.” The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy for anyone to start shopping immediately.
Two Ways to Use Golly Express
Method 1: Shop Directly Through the App
The first approach treats Golly Express like a traditional e-commerce platform. When you open the app, you’ll see popular stores with Amazon prominently featured. You can browse products directly within the app, view specifications, check prices, and add items to your cart – just like shopping on any other online store.
The app displays clear pricing with shipping costs calculated at $10 per pound. When you make a purchase, you’ll pay for the item upfront, and shipping fees are handled separately. Once your order arrives in Ghana, you simply pay a delivery fee to have it brought to your doorstep.
Method 2: Use Their US Address (Recommended)
The second method offers more flexibility and is preferred by regular users. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Get Your US Address Navigate to the “Local Address” section in the app. Currently, the service supports shipping from the USA (with UK and China coming soon). The app provides you with a complete US address, including:
- A recipient name
- Street address
- Phone number
Step 2: Shop on Amazon Normally Visit Amazon (or other supported retailers like Apple or eBay) and shop as you normally would. When you reach checkout, simply use the address provided by Golly Express instead of trying to ship to Ghana.
Step 3: Add Your Tracking Number After placing your order on Amazon, you’ll receive a tracking number. Return to the Golly Express app and create a new shipment by entering this tracking number. This helps them identify which packages belong to you.
Step 4: Track Your Shipment The app provides detailed tracking from start to finish:
- Awaiting items at the US warehouse
- Item received at warehouse
- Shipped from US to Ghana
- Arrived in Ghana
- Ready for pickup
- Out for delivery
- Delivered to your address
What to Expect: Timing and Costs
Based on real user experience, the typical timeline is:
- Order placed: Day 1
- Arrives at US warehouse: Day 2-3
- Ships to Ghana: Day 7-8
- Delivered to your home: Day 10-14
The total process usually takes 10-14 days from order to delivery, which is quite reasonable for international shipping.
