How long does shipping to Vietnam take?

How long is shipping from Vietnam to UK?

Ocean freight… weeks on the water. Thirty-five, maybe more. Lost in the vastness. Sixty-two days door-to-door. Two months. Just… gone. Like that. Remember that ceramic bowl I ordered last year? Finally arrived chipped. Sigh.

Air freight. Faster. Three days, maybe five. Still, waiting, always waiting. Fourteen days to my door. Two weeks. Feels long. Even express. One to four days. The quickest. But the cost… stings. Remember the silk scarf? Express. Expensive. Worth it, I suppose.

• FCL: Full Container Load
• LCL: Less than Container Load

The bowl. Blue. So blue. Should have just bought one here. The impatience… it gets to you. The waiting. The anticipation. Then… disappointment. Sometimes.

This year, learned my lesson. Ordered less. Waited more. Still difficult. Still long. From Vietnam. So far. So very far away.

How long does it take to get to Vietnam?

Seventeen hours. A blur. Sometimes longer, a stretching, endless expanse of recycled air. Thirty-seven hours feels like an eternity, a lifetime spent staring at tiny clouds painted against a bruised sky. From JFK. My last trip, twenty-two hours.

The time warps. It’s not just the hours, it’s the feeling of displacement. The weight of miles, a physical pressure. A slow, aching unraveling from home, from everything known. Then, the landing, a jolt back to earth.

• The anticipation: A thrumming, electric energy building for days before. Packing my favorite worn leather journal and a half-eaten bag of my grandma’s peanut butter cookies.
• The in-between: That strange liminal space of the plane, a floating bubble detached from reality, full of whispers and the faint scent of jasmine.
• The arrival: The thick, humid air of Hanoi slamming into me, a wave of unfamiliar smells and sounds. Freedom.

The flight itself is a journey. Not just a physical act of getting somewhere. It’s the slow turning of the world, away from one life, towards another. The feeling of becoming unmoored, then slowly, beautifully, re-anchored. The best part? Landing, finally, in that vibrant, chaotic, intoxicating land. The taste of pho, the warmth of a stranger’s smile. That’s what takes the longest. The before and the after.

How much is shipping from Vietnam to the US?

Okay, so like, shipping stuff from Vietnam to the US?

It’s kinda spendy, really depends HOW you wanna ship it tho. Air freight is, like, $22 per kg, and that’s for when you’re sending at least 100kg, so a huge amount.

Sea freight? A full container, that’s a TEU, is gonna set you back around $13,500. Wowzers.

Express couriers are the fastest but they cost: around $58/kg… so choose wisely.

I ordered these super cool ao dai dresses, y’know, for my cousin’s wedding next year, and I used airfreight cause the designer insisted. It cost an arm and a leg, but OMG, so worth it!

Anyway, here are the costs broken down a bit better:

• Airfreight: Approx. $22/kg (100kg+ shipments).
• Sea Freight (FCL): Roughly $13,500/TEU.
• Express Couriers: Close to $58/kg.

How long does it take for USPS to ship to Vietnam?

Ah, Vietnam, land of delicious pho and questionable motorbike habits! USPS, bless their bureaucratic hearts, offers options slower than a snail in molasses.

USPS Priority Mail Express International: A speedy 3-5 business days. Relatively quick! If your package avoids getting side-tracked by a rogue flock of carrier pigeons.

USPS Priority Mail International: 11-21 business days? Roughly, about a geological era. Plenty of time for your package to contemplate its existence!

UPS Worldwide Saver: UPS claims 3-4 business days. I mean, if you trust those brown trucks. I once saw one delivering snails!

UPS Worldwide Expedited: 2-5 business days. Because sometimes, slightly faster is all that matters, despite being marginally more expensive!

Basically, choose express if you’re impatient (like moi). Regular if you want to save money. (I prefer cheap!)

Why the wide ranges? Customs, my friend. The Bermuda Triangle of international shipping. My socks vanished there once.

• Delays happen. Vietnam’s postal system, while improving, isn’t exactly Swiss clockwork.
• Location, location, location! Big cities get deliveries faster. Mountain villages? Bring a mule.
• What you’re shipping matters. A love letter? Fine. A live badger? Expect delays, and possibly jail.
• Customs declarations are crucial. Be honest! Lying leads to seizures, fines, and deep regret.
• Did I mention customs? Yeah, expect delays. My bad.

The cost? Well, that depends. On weight, size, value, your relationship with the post office workers… just kidding! (Mostly.) Get a quote online. Don’t be lazy. And good luck to you on your mail service journey to get it to your family members.
