Shipping to Ghana from Thamesmead SE28? Rolats offers free collection around Southmere, The Moorings and the Abbey Wood border, then consolidates at our Dagenham depot (494 Gale Street, RM9 4NU) just across the river. Air freight is £5.90/kg plus £20 handling into Kotoka within days; sea freight starts from £70 per bag or barrel to the Port of Tema in around 4-6 weeks. We raise the CTN before sailing and deliver door-to-door across Ghana, all-in GBP with nothing to pay in Ghana.
A large African community by the river
Thamesmead's riverside estates and new-builds are home to a large African community, with many Ghanaian families settled around Southmere lake and The Moorings. It is a young, growing neighbourhood where home cooking, waakye and jollof, and Sunday church keep Ghanaian traditions strong. Rolats gives Thamesmead residents a straightforward, all-in route to send provisions and gifts to relatives across Ghana.
Free collection throughout SE28
From the towers around Southmere to the walkways of The Moorings, Binsey Walk and the Abbey Wood border, our driver collects free of charge. Thamesmead's layout can make carrying barrels awkward, so we come to your door and do the lifting. Everything is wrapped, labelled and logged before onward air or sea shipping from our Dagenham depot.
Sea freight barrels to Tema
Barrels start from £70 by sea, sailing to the Port of Tema in roughly four to six weeks. Thamesmead families pack them with palm oil, gari, shito and dried fish for relatives in Accra, Kumasi and every region. After ICUMS clearance at Tema, we deliver door-to-door. Cars and full containers can be quoted on request.
Air freight for urgent cargo
Air freight at £5.90 per kilo plus a £20 handling fee reaches Kotoka in Accra within days, ideal for medicine, documents, electronics or a special item for a family celebration. As with all our shipping, the price is fixed in pounds before dispatch, so there are no surprises down the line.
All-in GBP, nothing to pay in Ghana
Your Thamesmead quote is all-inclusive and in pounds, covering the CTN raised before sailing and full door-to-door delivery across Ghana after ICUMS clearance at Tema. Your family receives the goods with nothing to pay. Rolats has served the community since 2007, is HMRC Customs Authorised with an EORI, and holds a 4.7/5 rating.
