Cargo to Nigeria from London and England
London is home to the largest Nigerian community in the UK, and it is where R-Zone is based. Our headquarters and warehouse sit in Upminster, Essex, on the eastern edge of Greater London, and every shipment we send to Nigeria passes through it.
From here we collect cargo from every London borough and across England, check and document it, and book it onto the next weekly flight or sailing to Nigeria. You get one booking, one price and one point of contact from your front door to the recipient's door.
For rates and service options, see our cargo from UK to Nigeria guide.

The warehouse is in Bulphan, just outside Upminster, within easy reach of East London, Essex and the M25. It is where we receive drop-offs, bring in collected cargo, prepare export paperwork and load shipments for Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester and the UK ports.
Dropping off
- Call ahead so we can prepare for your arrival
- Bring your booking reference if you already have one
- Make sure boxes are sealed and labelled with the recipient's name, Nigerian address and phone number
- Put a contents list inside each box
Dropping off is the cheapest way to ship because it avoids the collection charge. Not sure which suits you? Read door to door vs drop-off cargo.

Cargo to Nigeria from Essex and the Home Counties
Because our warehouse is in Essex, customers in Brentwood, Basildon, Thurrock, Romford, Chelmsford and Southend are only a short drive away. You can drop off in person, or book a collection that reaches our warehouse the same day.
Kent, Hertfordshire and Surrey customers are also well placed, with regular collection runs around the M25.
Cargo to Nigeria from Birmingham, Manchester and the North
For the Midlands and the North, door collection is usually the easiest choice. We collect from Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Nottingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield and Newcastle.
Manchester Airport is one of our three air departure points, alongside Heathrow and Gatwick, which keeps air transit times short for northern customers. For large household or business loads, sea freight from £3/kg is usually the best value.
