About Transfricada Cargo

We built this company around the two questions every shipper asks: where is it, and what will it actually cost me. Everything else is logistics.

  • Lagos · Ibadan · Pickering · Dallas
  • Our own agents
  • Weekly departures

How we work

Started with one corridor. Kept it honest.

The first shipments went one way: Lagos to Ontario, mostly food and clothing for family. What separated those early consignments wasn't speed — it was that the person sending them could get a straight answer about where their barrels were.

Growth pushed us to fix the unglamorous parts. Consolidation points in Lagos and Ibadan, so nobody drives across the city to a stranger's warehouse. Clearing brought in-house, so duty is calculated before departure instead of argued about at the terminal. Sea freight for the things that shouldn't fly, and vehicles for the families moving their lives between two countries.

Today the operation runs weekly air departures and a monthly sea schedule across Nigeria, Canada, the USA and the UK, with desks in Pickering, Calgary and Dallas. The promise hasn't really changed: you should know where it is, what it costs and when it lands.

Operating principles

Four habits, every consignment.

None of this is complicated. It is just done every time — two kilos or a container.

We say the awkward thing early

If a rate moved, an item is restricted or a vessel slipped, you hear it from us before you've paid — not from a tracking page three weeks later.

The people who quote are the people who clear

Clearing is not subcontracted to whoever is cheapest that week. The desk that priced your shipment is accountable for its release.

Weighed, sealed, photographed

Every drop-off is on the scale in front of you, labelled, photographed and referenced before it leaves the counter. That is the whole trick.

Personal cargo is personal

A barrel of dry fish, a birthday gift, a car for a family that just landed. We handle it like it's going to someone we know, because often it is.
