Rolats ships cargo to Africa from Newcastle upon Tyne — we arrange free collection from your Newcastle upon Tyne address (Gosforth, Jesmond, Byker and across Tyne and Wear) 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 Newcastle upon Tyne by free collection — there's no separate Newcastle upon Tyne office.)*
