Rolats ships cargo to Africa from Coventry — we arrange free collection from your Coventry address (Foleshill, Hillfields, Radford and across West Midlands) into our Dagenham depot, then ship by air (£5.90/kg + £20 handling) or sea (from £70 per bag) to Nigeria, Ghana and right across the continent. True door-to-door, quoted all-in in GBP — no charges at the African end. *(Dagenham is our depot; we cover Coventry by free collection — there's no separate Coventry office.)*
How do you ship cargo to Africa from Coventry?
Distance is no obstacle. We run free nationwide UK collection, so we pick up your barrels, boxes, suitcases or container load from any Coventry address and bring them to our Dagenham depot. From there your cargo ships by air or sea, and we deliver door-to-door in Africa.
- Free collection from your Coventry home or business
- Consolidated at our Dagenham depot
- Air freight (fast) or sea cargo (cost-effective)
- Delivered to the recipient's door across ~45 African countries
Which parts of Coventry do you cover?
All of Coventry and West Midlands. We collect regularly across Foleshill, Hillfields, Radford and surrounding areas. Coventry's African communities around Foleshill and Hillfields ship with us regularly.
Do you have a Coventry office?
No — and you don't need one. Our depot is at 494 Gale Street, Dagenham (RM9 4NU), and we serve Coventry through free collection, so we come to you. The whole point is that you don't drive to Dagenham — we pick up in Coventry. If you'd rather drop off or arrange your own transport to the depot, that's fine too.
Air or sea cargo from Coventry?
It comes down to speed versus cost.
- Air freight — £5.90/kg + £20 handling; arrives in a few working days. Best for urgent, fragile or high-value items.
- Sea cargo — from £70 per bag; takes a few weeks. Best for barrels, boxes, furniture and bulk.
