sending medicine to Vietnam

Hi all,

Does any of you have experience sending stuff back to Vietnam as gifts? I'm looking for recommendations/answers on which carrier to use, and how expensive the shipping/tax would be. I've been in the US for the past 5 years and have always sent gifts home with someone who was going there, but this time nobody is available and I want to send some supplements (shark cartilage and omega 369) for my dad to help with his joint problems. He just moved to Hanoi from HCM, so at least it's not some remote area.

Thanks,

:)

Obviously, use a private courier and not the postal service. Most people seem to recommend DHL. I used them to send some documents to my wife before her interview. It took several weeks, and cost WAY too much money considering it was only a couple dozen sheets of paper.

Thank you! I just checked vietlinkglobal.com and it seemed like they don't offer shipping service to Hanoi, only HCM. While it is possible for me to send the gift to my relative in HCM and get it sent to my dad from there, I'd prefer less hassle unless it's the only way! Do you know of any other place like vietlink that will deliver to Hanoi as well?

According to website:

"Dịch vụ gởi về sân bay (Airport):

Đối với những khách hàng gửi hàng về Việt Nam, dịch vụ này sẽ giúp bạn tiết kiệm được rất nhiều chi phí với mức giá thấp nhất của chúng tôi để đến sân bay Tân Sơn Nhất và không có mức yêu cầu tối thiểu đối với hàng hóa.Dịch vụ này cũng đang đượcphục vụ tại các sân bay Đà Nẵng và Nội Bài của Việt Nam"

Hanoi nears Noi Bai Airport. Vietlink will call ur dad & deliver your stuff to his doors the next day.

U should gib 'em a call. I've been using this co. 4 the last 2 yrs.

In the past I've used the postal service, express service. it arrived in Ba Ria in 8 days. The weight was around 4pounds and the cost was around $35. just sending a letter takes about 10 days from here to there. I've had one letter returned. it took it about 4 months to get back to me. but that was just regular mail.... with express mail we have had no problems. I've used it a few times. with express mail they do want to know what your sending.
