Hello all! Anyone have experience shipping parcels back home to north America (mine will be going to Ontario)?? I will be in Hanoi in 2 weeks and want to send a parcel of cloths and light gifts back for Xmas so shipping can take up to 2 months. Any suggestions for companies? Cheapest way of doing so? Thanks team,
Benjamin

I've only experienced receiving parcels from America but on all occasions, the Viet Nam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT), delivered my stuff just fine.  VNPT, among other things, runs the national postal system.

Try sending something of small value, like a souvenir shirt and see how it goes?

Otherwise try UPS (also known as United Parcel Service, an American company).

Here's the link to two addresses in Hà Nội.
