Message us on WhatsApp at 0813 094 7747 with your pickup address in Benin City, your destination, the type of cargo you're shipping and the approximate weight or volume. If you know whether you need air or sea freight, tell us. We'll reply with a firm shipping quote and an estimated transit time before you commit.

Shipping costs from Benin City depend on four main things: the destination (within Edo State, elsewhere in Nigeria, or international), the mode of shipping (air freight is faster and more expensive, sea freight is slower and cheaper), the weight and volume of your cargo, and whether you need customs clearance, insurance or door-to-door delivery. Send us your details on WhatsApp and we'll give you an exact figure.

Yes. We arrange air freight from Benin City to Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and other Nigerian cities, and internationally to the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Greece and over 20 other countries. Air freight is our fastest option, typically 3 to 7 working days for international destinations depending on the route and customs.

Yes. We handle both FCL (full container load) and LCL (less than container load) sea freight from Benin City. We arrange haulage to the ports at Lagos (Apapa, Tin Can Island), Warri, Onne and Port Harcourt, handle all export or import documentation, customs clearance and final delivery at the destination. Sea freight is the most economical option for bulky and heavy cargo.

Yes. We ship cars, SUVs, buses, trucks, motorcycles and other vehicles from Benin City to destinations across Nigeria and internationally. Vehicle shipping is usually done via RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) or inside a container, depending on the destination and the condition of the vehicle. Message us with the make, model and destination for a quote.

Cargo consolidation is when multiple smaller shipments are combined into one larger shipment to reduce cost. If you don't have enough cargo to fill a container, we consolidate your goods with other shipments heading to the same destination, so you only pay for the space you use. It's the most cost-effective way to ship LCL cargo from Benin City.

Yes. We handle customs documentation and clearance for both exports from Nigeria and imports into Nigeria. Our team manages the paperwork — bill of lading, packing list, commercial invoice, Form M, PAAR and other required documents — and works with licensed clearing agents at the relevant ports.

Within Edo State, delivery is usually same day or next day. To other Nigerian cities by road, expect 1 to 4 working days depending on distance. Air freight internationally takes roughly 3 to 7 working days. Sea freight internationally takes roughly 3 to 8 weeks depending on the destination port, vessel schedule and customs clearance. We give you a specific estimate with your quote.
