Air freight for speed
When time matters — documents, laptops, phones, medicines — air freight costs £5.90 per kg plus £20 handling. Goods from Lewisham reach Lagos, Accra and other major cities quickly and reliably.
We quote up front and weigh everything openly, so you always know the cost before anything leaves Deptford or Catford.
Sea cargo for bigger loads
For barrels of food, household items or trade goods, sea cargo starts at £70 per bag — the budget-friendly way to ship from Lewisham.
Moving a vehicle or filling a container? We handle cars and full containers, quoted per shipment. All rates are door-to-door and all-in GBP, so recipients in Nigeria or Ghana pay nothing on arrival.
Trusted, compliant, established
Getting to us from Lewisham
Our depot is at 494 Gale Street, Dagenham, RM9 4NU, over in East London. From Lewisham that's across the river — a moderate run via the Blackwall Tunnel or A2 and A13.
Rather than make the trip, most Lewisham customers book our free collection and let us come to Deptford, New Cross or Brockley instead.
