Delivering quality, across borders
Import and export by air and sea, door to door, between Nigeria, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and beyond — plus same-day delivery and errands across Nigeria. Ship smart, ship swift, ship secure.
Barrels, pallets, cartons and single parcels. Personal effects and commercial cargo.
Across borders, and across town
Two sides of the same company. One flies and ships between countries; the other rides across Lagos the same afternoon. If you are not sure which you need, send the quote form and we will tell you.
Air cargo
Seven to ten working days, priced by weight, door to door. Nigeria, the UK, the United States, Canada and beyond — for stock, documents, electronics and anything too urgent or too fragile to spend six weeks at sea.
Quote air freightSea cargo
Four to six weeks, priced by barrel or by volume, with a dedicated Nigeria and UK route. The sensible choice for household goods, furniture, bulk stock and anything heavy that is not in a hurry.
Quote sea freightDelivery across Nigeria
Same-day within your city, waybills between states, airport pickups and drop-offs, and errands run on your behalf. Whether it flew in with us or not.

Some of this is freight and some of it is a motorbike across Lagos. All of it is the same company answering the same phone.

Customs duty, where it applies, is charged separately at the destination. Naira figures follow the exchange rate on the day and are confirmed when you book.
What we can and cannot ship
Customs rules are not ours to bend. Anything on the right will be pulled at the border, so please do not pack it — ask us first if you are unsure.

When to get it to us
We consolidate, so timing matters. Miss a cut-off and your parcel waits for the next one — which for sea freight is a long wait.
Drop off or booked collection by 5pm Monday to make that week’s flight.
Loading closes on the last Friday of each month. Barrels supplied on request.
We can collect from your address across most of the UK — arrange it when you book.
December is the busiest month on this route every single year. Book earlier than you think you need to — once these dates pass we cannot promise arrival before Christmas, and we would rather say so now than disappoint you in December.
Track a shipment
Enter the reference from your receipt and we will check where it is. If you do not have one to hand, message us on WhatsApp with your name and roughly when you sent it.
A real person answers
Numbers for international freight and for local delivery, and a WhatsApp that is actually read.
Dates we commit to
We would rather quote you a longer window and hit it than promise a date we cannot hold.
Small parcels welcome
One box is as welcome as a pallet. No minimum order to be worth talking to.
Door to door
Collected in the UK, delivered in Nigeria. You do not have to meet it at the port.
Cut-off dates, before they catch you
A short note when a container is loading, when rates change, and well before the Christmas deadlines. Nothing else.
Thank you — you are on the list.
