Rolats ships cargo to Nigeria from Erith (DA8) — from Pier Road, Erith High Street and the Riverside Shopping Centre. We offer free collection across Erith, and our Dagenham depot (494 Gale Street, RM9 4NU) sits just across the river. Air freight is £5.90/kg + £20 handling to Lagos & Abuja in a few working days; sea freight from £70/bag reaches Lagos ports (Apapa & Tin Can Island) in about 4-6 weeks. We handle Form M, SONCAP and PAAR, delivering door-to-door, all-in GBP with nothing to pay in Nigeria.
Erith's growing Nigerian community — and why we're on your doorstep
Erith has the strongest and fastest-growing African and Nigerian community of the Bexley riverside towns, thanks to its closeness to the Thamesmead border. Families around Erith High Street, Pier Road and the estates off Bexley Road regularly send provisions and goods home.
Our Dagenham depot is directly across the Thames — barely a few miles from Erith Riverside. That means free collection from your door and no long drive to hand over your boxes. We consolidate everything at Dagenham and ship straight to Nigeria.
