Rolats ships cargo to Africa from Perth — we arrange free collection from your Perth address (Scone, Bridgend, Craigie and across Scotland) 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 Perth by free collection — there's no separate Perth office.)*

Do you have a Perth office?
No — and you don't need one. Our depot is at 494 Gale Street, Dagenham (RM9 4NU), and we serve Perth through free collection, so we come to you. The whole point is that you don't drive to Dagenham — we pick up in Perth. If you'd rather drop off or arrange your own transport to the depot, that's fine too.

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.
