Shipping to Nigeria from Rochester (ME1) is easy with Rolats. We provide free collection from Rochester High Street, the old town by the Cathedral and Castle, Borstal and Wouldham, running your goods down the A2/M2 to our Dagenham depot at 494 Gale Street. Air freight is £5.90/kg plus £20 handling to Lagos & Abuja in days; sea freight starts from £70 per bag (about 4-6 weeks via Lagos ports). We handle Form M, SONCAP and PAAR and deliver door-to-door to all 36 states, all-in GBP with nothing to pay in Nigeria.

Free collection from historic Rochester 

Rochester is the smaller, historic heart of Medway, known for its cathedral, castle and cobbled high street rather than a large migrant community. Even so, Nigerian and African residents living around ME1 ship home with us regularly, and we make it effortless. Whether you are near the old town, up on Borstal Hill or out towards Wouldham, we collect free from your door and drive your cargo down the A2 to our Dagenham depot. Because Rochester is a fair distance from East London, we plan the pickup to suit you, and you pay nothing for the journey to us.

Air freight to Lagos and Abuja in days 

For quick sends, air freight from Rochester reaches Lagos and Abuja within days. The price is £5.90 per kilo plus a one-off £20 handling fee, which works well for documents, phones, laptops and gifts that cannot wait for the sea. We confirm the weight and cost before anything leaves Medway, so you know exactly what you are paying before your parcel starts its journey to Nigeria.

Sea freight and barrels from £70 bag 

Sea freight is the value option for larger loads from Rochester. From £70 per bag you can send a Ghana Must Go bag or barrel packed with garri, egusi, dried fish, provisions and clothing, shipped via Apapa and Tin Can Island in Lagos over roughly four to six weeks. Cars and full containers are quoted separately on request. It remains the most cost-effective way to move bulk goods from Rochester to Nigeria.

Customs sorted from Rochester to the ports 

You do not need to understand Nigerian import rules to ship with us. Rolats is HMRC Customs Authorised, EORI registered and listed at Companies House under 06153914, trading since 2007. We prepare your Form M, arrange SONCAP where it applies, and process your PAAR so your consignment clears the Lagos ports without fuss. One company in Rochester, one all-in price in pounds, nothing to pay when the goods arrive in Nigeria.

Door-to-door to all 36 Nigerian states 

We deliver right to the recipient's door anywhere in Nigeria's 36 states, from Lagos and Abuja to Port Harcourt, Calabar, Jos and beyond. With a 4.7/5 rating and nearly two decades of experience, Rolats gives Rochester senders a straight, dependable service.
