How Our Package Forwarding Service Works

2 min read Updated June 30, 2026 Bright Agbo

What Is Package Forwarding?

Our forwarding service lets you shop from your favourite online stores — anywhere in the world — and have your purchases shipped to Ghana without the usual headaches. We receive your package, keep you updated every step of the way, and deliver it right to your doorstep.


Step 1: Create Your Golly Express Account

Head over to the Golly Express website or download the Golly Express app and sign up for a free account. The process takes only a few minutes — all you need is a valid email address and a phone number.


Step 2: Get Your Unique Locker Address

Once you're logged in, navigate to the Shipments tab on the website or app. There you'll find your personal locker address — a unique shipping address assigned specifically to you.

Think of it as your own private mailbox managed by Golly Express. No one else shares it, so every package that arrives is clearly yours.


Step 3: Shop and Send Packages to Your Locker

Now the fun part! Use your locker address as the shipping address whenever you:

  • Order from online stores like Amazon, ASOS, Shein, or any other retailer
  • Ask friends or family abroad to send you gifts or personal items

Simply copy your locker address from the Shipments tab and paste it at checkout — that's it.


Step 4: Create a Shipment on Golly Express

After placing your order, come back to the Shipments tab on the Golly Express website or app and create a new shipment by entering your package's tracking number. This lets us know a package is on its way to your locker so we can look out for it.

Why is this important?

  • It helps us match incoming packages to your account instantly
  • It triggers real-time updates as soon as we receive your item
  • It keeps everything organised, especially if you have multiple packages arriving

Step 5: Sit Back — We Handle the Rest

From the moment your package arrives at our facility, we take over. You'll receive:

  • Confirmation notifications when we receive your package
  • Photos of your item so you can verify its condition
  • Shipment updates at every stage of the journey to Ghana
  • A final delivery notification when your package reaches your doorstep

You're informed at every step, so there's never a moment of uncertainty.
