Shipping within Vietnam by kevinodprobate

I’m wanting to get to Da Nang from Saigon, but my bag exceeds the 44lb limit so airline wants $150 extra. Is there a good, reasonable way to ship a package weighing less than 25kg between these two cities?

kevinodprobate

Thanks so much. You are all so helpful. I’ve been here a week now and love most everything about it!! Read More
