In Hanoi, come to Hanoi post, opposite Hoan Kiem lake. Cheaper to send from Hanoi.

I sent a parcel from HCMC using the regular service. The hotel staff gave me the address of that post office but I don鈥檛 remember where. I only know it was not the central post office. They offer packing service with a small fee. A lot more expensive if you use DHL, EMS, UPS, etc. I paid about 4 US$ for under half a kilogram.

They spoke English.

take your passport or photocopy of passport with you as well ( they need details for customs declaration) and dont pack anything before you get there as they need to sight goods before you pack - I had to itemise each item as well on customs declaration so allow a little bit fo time ( dont go in there expecting to be out in 15 mins)

Hi,

I also sent a package to Europe with normal post (ship) in Hanoi. It took 100 days to come to Europe.

It was about 1,5 kg and it was like 330.000 VND ( airmail would cost double). In Hanoi the lady was speaking a little bit english and it is true, you have to write everything down on the formular : what is inside, how much in USD....

In HCMC on the main post the lady speaks very good engish on the international counter. It takes some time but it is OK.
