Parcel delivery to Vietnam

Vietnam’s location along the South China Sea and proximity to China, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia make it a great hub for travelling and expanding businesses elsewhere. Although Vietnam has a well-developed transport system, a major programme has been implemented to drastically improve the country’s infrastructure. The UK is increasing its investment from £4.5 billion to over £76 billion to help Vietnam develop new urban railway networks, a new international airport hub and regional airports.The expansions will allow for greater access and cheaper parcel delivery to Vietnam. In order to send a parcel to Vietnam, it’s beneficial to have a basic understanding of the postal system and to know the city and district of a particular destination. The postal codes in Vietnam contain six digits, with the first two representing the city or province; the second two, the district or town; and the last two, the ward. Postcodes for Hanoi, the capital, begin with the numbers 10 through 15, while Ho Chi Minh City postcodes range from 70 to 76.

As opportunities in power, oil and gas, education healthcare and mass transport increase for UK businesses, the demand for a cheap courier to Vietnam increases. Additionally, for the nearly 32 million residents with internet access, tracking parcels deliveries in Vietnam is easy and stress-free.
