Ship Packages from the US to Vietnam: The Complete Guide
In this article (11)

To ship packages from the US to Vietnam with TCS Global, you have two options: drop your box off at our warehouse in Westminster, California (Little Saigon), or, if you live in another state, create a shipping label online and send the box in. TCS flies four times a week and delivers door to door anywhere in Vietnam, with an estimated 5–10 days to Ho Chi Minh City and 10–14 days to other provinces.

Sending a box home for the first time? This guide covers every step, from packing to tracking, plus what families most often send.

The short version

  • Drop-off: 15131 Weststate St, Suite B, Westminster, CA 92683.
  • Outside Southern California: create a label online, print it, stick it on the box and send it.
  • Flights every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
  • Estimated delivery: Ho Chi Minh City 5–10 days, other provinces 10–14 days.
  • Cost depends on weight (lb) and destination province; there is a free online estimator.
  • Every package gets its own tracking number.

How to ship packages from the US to Vietnam in 6 steps

  1. Get the recipient's details right: full name, a working phone number and a complete address down to ward and province.
  2. Pack it well: a sturdy carton, no empty space inside, tape on the top and bottom seams.
  3. Estimate the cost: enter the weight and province in the calculator on our ship-to-Vietnam service page.
  4. Send it: drop it off in Westminster, or create an online label and ship it in.
  5. Keep your receipt and pay: the tracking number is printed at the top right of the shipping receipt.
  6. Track until delivery: check the package status on our website until it reaches the door.

Option 1: Drop off at our Westminster warehouse

If you live in Southern California, the simplest route is to bring your box to the TCS Global office and warehouse at 15131 Weststate St, Suite B, Westminster, CA 92683, in the heart of Little Saigon. Our team speaks Vietnamese and English, so older relatives can drop off on their own.

Call (714) 379-8787 or message us on Zalo at (949) 979-6888 before you come to confirm drop-off hours, and to ask about anything unusual in the box. Bring the recipient's details written out clearly, a rough list of contents (with an estimated value if you want insurance), and a box that is already packed and taped.

Your shipping receipt shows the tracking number in the top-right corner; send a photo of it to the recipient.

Option 2: Live in another state? Create a label online

You don't need to be near Westminster. Use our online shipping label service:

  1. Sign in (or create a free account) and open "Create shipping label".
  2. Choose "Deliver in Vietnam" (or "Ship within the US" for a US recipient).
  3. Enter the sender, the recipient and each package: weight in lb or kg, dimensions in inches or cm.
  4. TCS adds a tracking code and a label file for each package and emails you when the label is ready.
  5. Print the label, stick it on the box and send it.

You can still edit the request while it is pending and no label has been issued. For a field-by-field walkthrough, read how to create a shipping label online.

Flight days and delivery times

TCS has four flights a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, so boxes don't sit around waiting for the next departure.

DestinationEstimated deliveryService
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)5–10 daysDoor to door
Other provinces10–14 daysDoor to door, nationwide

These are estimates; customs, the pre-Tết rush and incomplete addresses can all add time; see how long shipping from the US to Vietnam takes for the details. Sending Tết gifts? Lunar New Year 2027 falls on Saturday, February 6, 2027, so aim to ship by early-to-mid January and ask us about the last flight before Tết. Our Tết 2027 gift guide has a timeline.

How shipping costs work

The cost depends mainly on weight in pounds and the destination province. The free estimator on the ship-to-Vietnam page (also on the homepage) asks you to pick Vietnam and a province, enter the weight in lb, and optionally a declared value for cargo insurance, which is 5% of that value. Click "Estimate Shipping Cost" to see the result.

Estimates do not include special customs surcharges (for example perfume or cosmetics) or oversized items, and some goods such as electronics or high-value items may carry a surcharge that TCS lists in your quote. For the full breakdown and money-saving tips, read how US-to-Vietnam shipping costs are calculated.

Paying for shipping

  • In the US: Zelle, Venmo or wire transfer to TCS Global.
  • In Vietnam: credit card on the TCS Global website under "Payment Shipping", after signing in.

Tracking your package

Open the tracking tool on our homepage, choose "Package status" and enter the tracking number. Two other tabs help too: "Warehouse receipt" confirms whether a box you ordered online (from Amazon, for example) has arrived at our warehouse, using the carrier's tracking number, and "Order tracking" covers orders from our online store. Need to change the recipient? That is possible after shipping, as long as the package has not cleared customs. Contact us quickly with the tracking number.

Packing basics

  • Use a strong, undamaged carton; heavy items at the bottom, light ones on top.
  • Fill every gap so nothing shifts.
  • Tighten caps on lotions and mouthwash, bag each bottle and keep them upright.
  • Tape the top and bottom in an H pattern, and cover old labels on reused boxes.

Glass, food and supplement bottles each need extra care, as covered in how to pack a box for Vietnam.

Restricted items: ask first

TCS may refuse items that are prohibited or restricted by law, customs or the airline. Ask before packing batteries, aerosols or sprays, large amounts of liquid, medicines, perfume or high-value electronics. Our guide to what you can ship to Vietnam goes into more detail.

What families usually send

Popular choices include multivitamins for parents such as One A Day Men's 50+, nutrition drinks like Ensure Original powder (powder contains no water, so it usually ships lighter than ready-to-drink bottles), Eagle Brand medicated oil, chocolates like Ferrero Rocher for Tết, and everyday personal care. You can buy these in our online store (authentic US products, prices shown on each product page, free account required to order). Can't find something? Our US proxy shopping service buys it for you, then packs and ships it. See US proxy shopping explained.
