Maximum Size and Weight per Parcel
Each parcel must weigh less than 25 kg, and its size must pass this check:
length (cm) × width (cm) × height (cm) ÷ 6000 < 100
Example: a box of 60 × 40 × 30 cm gives 72,000 ÷ 6000 = 12, which is under 100, so it is fine. A box of 120 × 80 × 80 cm gives 128, which is too big. Packing tightly and folding lanterns flat helps a lot. If you have more than 25 kg, we split it into several parcels.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a parcel from Hoi An?
By air express, a 10 kg parcel costs from about $107 (≈ 2,780,000₫) to China and Japan, $148 (≈ 3,850,000₫) to $171 (≈ 4,450,000₫) to most of Europe, $196 (≈ 5,100,000₫) to the US and $204 (≈ 5,300,000₫) to the UK. These are reference prices with pick-up in Hoi An included. Contact us for an exact quote, as extra fees can apply (for example delivery to a remote or rural area).
How long does shipping from Hoi An take?
Air express parcels are usually 3–5 days in transit after they leave Vietnam. It can sometimes take longer, and customs clearance in your country can add a few days.
Can I ship tailor-made clothes from Hoi An?
Yes, it is the most common thing we send. We can pick up straight from your tailor or your hotel. Keep the receipt in case customs ask for the value.
Can I send my parcel by sea?
Since 2019 Vietnam has limited sea freight for personal parcels. Where it is still possible, the price is close to air freight and delivery takes 20 to 40 days, so we recommend air.
Do you pick up from my hotel?
Yes. Pick-up is free anywhere in Hoi An, from your hotel, villa, homestay or tailor shop.
What is the maximum size and weight of a parcel?
Each parcel must be under 25 kg, and its size must satisfy: length (cm) × width (cm) × height (cm) ÷ 6000 is less than 100. For example, a 60 × 40 × 30 cm box gives 12, which is fine.
Is there an extra fee for rural or remote areas?
Parcels are delivered to the recipient’s door. If the address is far from a big city, a rural area surcharge applies. Our staff will tell you the exact fee when they quote the price, so you know the total before paying.

- Ceramics, wood carvings and paintings, wrapped with extra padding.
- Coffee and tea in sealed, original packaging (check your country’s food rules first).

Air Freight or Sea Freight?
Air express is the fastest and most reliable way to ship from Hoi An, with most parcels in transit for 3–5 days (sometimes longer). Sea freight used to be the cheap option, but since 2019 Vietnam has limited sea shipping for personal parcels. Where it is still possible, the price is close to air freight while delivery takes 20 to 40 days, so we recommend air for almost every parcel.

Tips for Shipping from Hoi An
- Do not leave it to your last day. Book pick-up one or two days before you leave Hoi An.
- Keep your receipts. Customs in your country may ask what the items are worth, especially for tailor-made clothes.
- Check your import rules. Food, wood and plants are restricted in some countries, such as Australia.
- Fold lanterns flat. You pay for size as well as weight, so flat lanterns cost less to send.
- Insure valuable items. Paintings and ceramics are worth the small extra cost.

A post office counter will take your box, but it will not come to your hotel, pack your lanterns or answer your messages in English. You get free pick-up, a fixed price before you pay, careful packing and one person to talk to until your parcel arrives.
Your parcel travels as air cargo with an international express courier, which is why it reaches Europe or the US in days instead of weeks.
