DHL Express Kenya and Rubis Energy Kenya announced on November 12, 2026 that 60 Rubis service stations will become DHL Service Points.
The stations are located in Nairobi, the Coast region, Nyanza, Nakuru and Naivasha.
A DHL Service Point allows customers to hand over documents or parcels for shipment rather than arranging a courier pick-up.
Frédéric Maupetit, managing director of Rubis Energy Kenya, said the idea is to let customers send documents and parcels “without making a separate trip”.
Paul Makolosi, country manager of DHL Express Kenya, said the deal gives DHL a retail network with “a strong national footprint”.
The service points will also offer DHL Express Easy, a walk-in option where customers buy DHL-branded packaging and pay a fixed rate for each box size.
In markets where DHL publishes the scheme, such as New Zealand, eight packaging options are available from a 0.5 kg envelope to a 25 kg box, with prices fixed per box but varying by destination zone.
Neither company disclosed the Express Easy rates for Kenya, nor provided a list of the 60 stations, opening hours, payment methods or cut-off times.
The announcement states the stations “will operate” as DHL Service Points, while Maupetit’s comment suggests they are “now operating”, leaving the exact start date unclear.
Rubis Energy Kenya runs more than 300 stations nationwide, so the 60 DHL counters will be in roughly one in five of its outlets.
Existing Rubis forecourt partners include Java House outlets, Enjoy convenience shops and AutoXpress car service centres, and the network also hosts BasiGo electric-vehicle fast chargers.
The partnership adds a fixed-price shipping option that may benefit small sellers, although the price card has not yet been released.
DHL’s Kenya drop-off guide advises customers to check the ServicePoint locator for each counter’s opening hours, daily cut-off time and whether it accepts international shipments.
