What does parcel delivery cost in Ghana? A route price guide

6/1/2026 · Pricing · 4 min read

On African Post GH you name your own price, but it helps to know what's realistic. Set it too low and you'll get few offers; set a fair budget and verified transporters compete for your parcel.

Sample routes (small ~5 kg parcel)

  • Accra → Kumasi (250 km): GH₵ 90–170
  • Accra → Cape Coast (145 km): GH₵ 60–110
  • Accra → Tamale (605 km): GH₵ 195–385
  • Kumasi → Tamale (385 km): GH₵ 130–250
  • Tema → Takoradi (240 km): GH₵ 90–165

What moves the price

Distance and weight are the big ones, but timing matters too — a flexible deadline gets cheaper offers than "needed today". Fragile or bulky items, and pickup/drop-off outside the city centre, can also nudge the price up.

Tip: post, then compare

The fastest way to learn the real price is to post your parcel and watch the offers come in. You're never obliged to accept — pick the best balance of price, rating and timing.
