Cargo to Nigeria from Dartford

Cargo to Nigeria collected across Dartford — Dartford, Greenhithe, Swanscombe and Ebbsfleet.

Dartford has 3,610 Nigeria-born residents — the second largest Nigerian community in Kent after Medway, and one of the fastest growing anywhere in the South East. It is a few minutes from our Dagenham base across the Dartford Crossing. Barrels, boxes, parcels and vehicles, to our Lagos office or on to any of the 36 states.

Dartford is where south-east London's Nigerian belt spills over the county line. Families from Bexley, Greenwich and Lewisham have moved out to the new estates at Greenhithe, Ebbsfleet and Swanscombe in large numbers, and the borough's Nigeria-born population has grown faster than almost anywhere in Kent.

From Dagenham it is a straight run through the Dartford Crossing, so collection here is often same-week, and the Thames ports at Tilbury and London Gateway sit directly across the river.

Population figures on this page are from the ONS 2021 Census (country of birth: Nigeria).

About Dartford

Bluewater and the Ebbsfleet Garden City development have driven a decade of house-building along this stretch of the Thames, and a large share of the new households are young Nigerian families who grew up in Woolwich, Thamesmead and Erith.

Dartford is also where many of our Kent customers meet us halfway — it is close enough to Dagenham that a drop-off on the way to the crossing is a practical option.

What people here usually send

Family barrels and boxes — food, clothing, household goods
Larger consignments for relocations and new homes
Vehicles via the Thames ports
Parcels and documents by air

Questions about collection in Dartford

Do you collect from Dartford?

Yes — Dartford town, Greenhithe, Swanscombe, Ebbsfleet, Stone, Wilmington and Longfield. It is one of the quickest areas we serve outside London, via the Dartford Crossing.

Which postcodes do you cover here?

DA1, DA2, DA3, DA4, DA9 and DA10. Gravesend and Northfleet (DA11–DA13) have their own Gravesend page, and Bexley (DA5–DA8, DA14–18) is covered under London.

Can I drop off instead?

Yes. Our Dagenham base is just over the crossing, and a number of Dartford customers drop off with us rather than book a collection. Ask when you book.

What does a barrel cost from Dartford?

£100 per barrel by sea to our Lagos office, plus a ₦5,000 handling fee paid in Nigeria on collection. Collection is quoted on your postcode and door delivery in Nigeria by state.

How long does cargo take to Nigeria?

Air freight is typically 7 working days to our Lagos office; sea freight is typically 4–6 weeks including clearance.
