We came from freight, not from a showroom

Most car exporters learn shipping the hard way, after they have already sold a car they cannot move. We started on the other side of the container — moving cargo between China and West Africa for years before we ever bought a vehicle.

Who we are

A yard in Guangzhou and a phone that gets answered

We buy from China's domestic market, where left-hand-drive cars are the norm — the same steering side as Nigeria, Ghana, Benin, Togo and Cameroon. That is the whole reason we are in Guangzhou and not in Yokohama.

Our edge is not the car. It is knowing which container line still has space in three weeks, which clearing agent at Apapa will actually pick up the phone in December, and which 2018 Corolla is worth the money and which one has been repaired badly.

We are small on purpose. A handful of dealers and fleet buyers, handled by people who know their names, their ports and their payment history.

How we work

Four rules we do not break

No car ships unseen

If we cannot photograph it, video it and read the VIN, it does not go in the container. No exceptions for "good customers" or tight schedules.

Dates are dates

If the next sailing is full, we say so and give you the one after. A slipped date costs you demurrage and costs us a customer — neither is worth a nice-sounding answer.

We do not sell clearing

We introduce agents, you hire them. We take no commission on clearing, so their loyalty stays with you where it belongs.

One invoice, one price

The CIF price on the proforma is the price. No surprise "documentation fee", no "yard handling" added after you have paid the deposit.

Disclose the damage

Every used car has something. Ours is written on the inspection report before you pay, in the same list as the good news.

You get a person

One contact from quotation to arrival, on WhatsApp, in English. Not a ticket number and not a rotating sales inbox.

Who we work with

The buyers behind most of our containers

  • Car dealers and showrooms2–4 units per container, repeat every 6–8 weeks. The bread and butter of the business.
  • Taxi and ride-hailing fleetsCorolla, Accord, Sonata — volume sedans with cheap parts and drivers who can fix them anywhere.
  • Construction, mining and agri contractorsHilux and Ranger double cabs, 4WD, diesel. Usually bought three or four at a time.
  • Transport operators and schoolsHiace and minibuses, 15–17 seats, high roof, dual A/C.
  • NGO and mission fleetsWhite 4WD SUVs, single-unit orders, documentation that has to be exactly right for audit.
Not a good fit? If you need one rare car, a specific colour, or a unit delivered in under three weeks, we are probably not the right supplier. We would rather tell you now than take a deposit and disappoint you later.

Try us with one car before you commit to a container

Most of our dealers started with a single unit on a shared container. If the car is what we said it was, the next order is four.
