Sending cargo to Ghana from Ponders End (EN3)? We collect free from the High Street, Alma Estate, South Street and around Ponders End station, then ship from our depot at 494 Gale Street, Dagenham. Air freight is £5.90/kg plus £20 handling to Accra in a few working days; sea from £70 a bag reaches the Port of Tema in about 4-6 weeks. We raise the CTN before sailing and deliver door-to-door across Ghana, all-in GBP with nothing to pay on arrival.
Strong Ghanaian roots in the Enfield corridor
Ponders End is part of the great Ghanaian belt running up the Lea Valley, and its community is tight and busy. Around the High Street, the newly rebuilt Alma Estate and along Hertford Road you'll hear Twi in the queues and smell jollof from the kitchens. Rolats speaks this community's language when it comes to freight, so your barrels for Accra or Kumasi are packed off by people who take them as seriously as you do.
Free pickup right across EN3
From a flat on the Alma Estate to a house off Lincoln Road or Nags Head Road, we collect free from your door. There's no need to haul a Ghana Must Go bag to Ponders End station. Book online, choose your time, and our driver comes to you, logging and labelling every barrel and box before it heads to our Dagenham depot to begin its journey to Ghana.
Air and sea, priced simply
For speed, air freight is £5.90 per kilo plus a flat £20 handling fee and reaches Kotoka Airport in Accra within a few working days, great for medicine, electronics and clothing. For volume, sea freight from £70 a bag carries the heavy provisions, barrels of gari, shito, dried fish and palm oil, plus furniture, and lands at the Port of Tema in roughly 4-6 weeks. Cars and containers are quoted per shipment in pounds.
Paperwork and clearance sorted
As a HMRC Customs Authorised forwarder with a full EORI, Rolats raises your CTN (Cargo Tracking Note, aka ASHI or UCR) before the vessel sails, then clears your goods through Ghana's ICUMS system. That's the part that trips up cheaper senders; with us it's handled. You pay one clear GBP price in Ponders End and there's nothing to settle in Ghana.
Door-to-door nationwide in Ghana
We take your cargo all the way to the recipient's door, not just to Tema quay. From Ponders End we deliver to every region of Ghana, Greater Accra, Ashanti and Kumasi, Takoradi, the Volta Region and Tamale up north. Whether it's provisions for family or goods for a shop, the whole cost is agreed here in EN3 before anything ships.
