Shipping cargo to Nigeria from Waltham Cross (EN8)? Rolats collects free from the town centre, Eleanor Cross, the Pavilions and the streets around Waltham Cross station. Everything runs through our Dagenham depot at 494 Gale Street, RM9 4NU. Air freight £5.90/kg plus £20 handling reaches Lagos and Abuja in days; sea from £70 per bag takes roughly 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 across Waltham Cross
The growing Nigerian and wider African community around Waltham Cross has spilled north out of Enfield and Edmonton along the Lea Valley, and we collect right across it at no charge. Whether you are near the Eleanor Cross monument, in a flat above the Pavilions Shopping Centre, or on the residential streets off Eleanor Cross Road and High Street, our driver comes to your door. Just say how many barrels, boxes or Ghana Must Go bags you have and we book a slot that suits you.
Air freight to Lagos and Abuja
For clothing, documents, laptops, phones and gifts that need to land fast, air freight is £5.90 per kilo plus a flat £20 handling charge. Cargo leaves our Dagenham depot and clears into Lagos or Abuja within days. We weigh everything transparently at the depot so there are no surprises, and the price you are quoted in Waltham Cross is the full price — there is nothing further to settle when your family collects at the other end.
Sea freight barrels and bags from £70
For garri, egusi, dried fish, rice, tinned food, clothes and household goods, sea freight is the economical route from just £70 per bag or barrel. Consignments sail from UK ports into Apapa and Tin Can Island in Lagos, taking around four to six weeks. From the ports we arrange onward road delivery to any of the 36 states. It is the option most Waltham Cross families use to stock up relatives back home.
Customs handled end to end
Nigerian import paperwork stops a lot of shipments — but not ours. Rolats is HMRC Customs Authorised with a full EORI number and Companies House registration 06153914, trading since 2007. We prepare your Form M, arrange SONCAP where required and process the PAAR so your goods are not left sitting at the port. You do not deal with any Nigerian agent or hidden charge; we manage it from Waltham Cross to the doorstep.
Cars and containers quoted
Sending a vehicle to Lagos, or a full shared or sole-use container to furnish a home or supply a business? We quote cars and containers individually depending on size, destination state and contents. Plenty of customers around Waltham Cross and the Lea Valley ship a car alongside their personal effects. Send us the details and we will give you a clear all-in GBP figure with no obligation.
