Rolats ships cargo to Nigeria from all of Dalston (E8) — Ridley Road Market, Kingsland High Street and around Dalston Junction. We offer free collection from your door to our Dagenham depot (494 Gale Street, RM9 4NU), then ship by air at £5.90/kg + £20 handling or sea from £70 per bag into the Lagos ports (Apapa & Tin Can Island). We handle Form M, SONCAP and PAAR, so it's door-to-door, all-in GBP with nothing to pay in Nigeria.
Shipping to Nigeria from the heart of Ridley Road
Dalston is one of London's great African market corners, and Ridley Road is its beating heart — yam, egusi, dried fish and fabric traded a stone's throw from Kingsland High Street.
- Free collection from any E8 address — flats above the shops, the Dalston Junction blocks or Sandringham Road terraces
- Pack your own barrels and "Ghana Must Go" bags of provisions; we do the heavy lifting
- Everything routed to our Dagenham depot before sailing or flying to Nigeria

Sea cargo — barrels, bags and boxes
