Rolats ships cargo to Africa from Waltham Forest with free collection from your door in Walthamstow, Leyton, Leytonstone, Chingford or anywhere across the E4, E10, E11 and E17 postcodes. Your barrels and boxes travel to our Dagenham depot — a straightforward run down the North Circular and 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.

Serving one of London's most diverse boroughs 

Waltham Forest is famously mixed — walk along Walthamstow's High Street (home to Europe's longest outdoor street market) and you pass African, Caribbean, South Asian and Eastern European traders side by side.

That diversity means plenty of families sending cargo home to Lagos, Accra and beyond. From the terraces of Walthamstow Village to the estates of Leyton and the leafier streets of Chingford, we collect free and ship it all.

What we ship for you 

  • Barrels and boxes packed with food, clothes and gifts
  • Cars and vehicles by RoRo or container
  • House removals for families relocating to Africa
  • Commercial stock for market and shop traders

Whether you are near Walthamstow Central, Leytonstone High Road or Chingford Mount, one call books a free collection.
