Rolats ships cargo to Africa from Tower Hamlets with free collection from your door in Bow, Poplar, Whitechapel, Bethnal Green or anywhere across the E1, E2, E3 and E14 postcodes. Your barrels, boxes and business consignments come to our Dagenham depot — a direct run east along the A13 — then ship by air (£5.90/kg + £20 handling) or sea (from £70 per bag) to Nigeria, Ghana and beyond. Door-to-door, all-in GBP, nothing to pay at the African end.
From the East End to Africa
Tower Hamlets is one of London's most storied and diverse boroughs — home to a large Bangladeshi community alongside Somali and other African communities, particularly around Whitechapel and Poplar.
Walk through Whitechapel Market or along Bethnal Green Road and you feel that mix. Plenty of those households send cargo home, and we collect free from every corner of the borough, from Bow to the Isle of Dogs.
Business shipments from Canary Wharf too
It is not only households. With Canary Wharf in the borough, we handle commercial and business shipments — stock, equipment and documents heading to African markets.
Whether you are a family in Stepney or a firm on the Isle of Dogs, we offer the same reliable, customs-cleared, door-to-door service by air or sea.
What we ship
- Barrels and boxes of food, clothing and provisions
- Cars and vehicles by RoRo or container
- Removals for families relocating
- Business and trade cargo for companies
Book from Whitechapel, Mile End, Limehouse or Poplar and collection is free.
Clear pricing, both by air and sea
Air freight is £5.90/kg plus a £20 handling charge — fast for urgent and lighter loads. Sea cargo starts from £70 per bag for economical bulk. Cars and containers are quoted individually.
All prices are all-in GBP, and there is nothing to pay at the African end. Transparent from quote to delivery.
Authorised, insured, established
We are HMRC Customs Authorised and EORI registered (Companies House 06153914), trading since 2007 with a 4.7/5 Google rating.
We prepare Form M and SONCAP for Nigeria and CTN/ECTN for Ghana and West Africa, clearing customs at both ends so your cargo arrives door-to-door without fuss.
