Shipping cargo to Nigeria from Hatfield (AL10)? Rolats collects free from the town centre, the University of Hertfordshire, Old Hatfield and Hatfield station. Goods travel to our Dagenham depot, 494 Gale Street, RM9 4NU. Air freight is £5.90/kg plus £20 handling to Lagos and Abuja in days; sea from £70 per bag takes about 4–6 weeks via Apapa and Tin Can Island. We handle Form M and SONCAP and deliver door-to-door, all-in GBP — nothing to pay in Nigeria.
Free collection around Hatfield
Hatfield is a Hertfordshire new town with a large student population at the University of Hertfordshire, and many Nigerian students and families here ship home each year. We collect free from the town centre, the university campus and halls, Old Hatfield's older streets and the roads near Hatfield station. Hatfield is further north than our Dagenham base, but our driver builds Hatfield into the collection round so distance is never charged to you.
Air freight for students and families
End of term, or sending gifts and essentials home? Air freight from Hatfield is £5.90 per kilo plus a flat £20 handling charge, reaching Lagos or Abuja within days. It suits laptops, phones, documents, clothing and anything that needs to arrive quickly. Everything is weighed openly at the depot and the quote is final — your family in Nigeria pays nothing to collect.
Sea freight from £70 a bag
For bulk items and provisions — garri, egusi, dried fish, tinned food, clothes, kitchenware — sea freight from £70 per bag or barrel is the economical route. Consignments sail into Apapa and Tin Can Island in Lagos over roughly four to six weeks and then travel onward by road to any of the 36 states. Ghana Must Go bags and barrels are ideal, and we pack and label everything securely before shipping.
Customs cleared for you
Nigerian import rules catch out plenty of first-time shippers, especially students. Rolats is HMRC Customs Authorised, holds an EORI number and has traded as Companies House company 06153914 since 2007. We prepare your Form M, arrange SONCAP where needed and process the PAAR before arrival, so your goods clear the Lagos ports smoothly. It is all inside your all-in GBP price — no port agent, no hidden fee.
Cars and containers quoted
Graduating and moving home, or furnishing a place in Nigeria? We quote vehicles and containers to order, shared or sole-use, and a car can travel alongside your personal effects. Tell us the contents and the destination state and we will send a clear all-in GBP figure with nothing left to pay once it reaches Nigeria.
