Hi all

Just wondering if the normal postal service (not courier) in Vietnam is realiable enough if I were to send home some stuff from Vietnam to Malaysia?

Thank you in advance.

Go to the Main Post Office, on the right-hand side, Desk 4, there is a carrier service JNE.

It's based in Singapore, one-third the price of DHL/UPI/etc.

Will be there in two working days.

They also have a tracking service.

Note: Do NOT seal your package until you are the counter, the clerk sometimes wants to check contents.

I've sent paperwork to the UK and Hong Kong via the normal post office without issues. Never sent any parcels that way though.
