Rolats ships cargo to Africa from Winchester — we arrange free collection from your Winchester address (Weeke, Stanmore, Fulflood and across Hampshire) 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 Winchester by free collection — there's no separate Winchester office.)*

Do you have a Winchester office?
No — and you don't need one. Our depot is at 494 Gale Street, Dagenham (RM9 4NU), and we serve Winchester through free collection, so we come to you.
