Vietnam is geographically quite close to China, with Vietnam’s rapid economic growth, we have seen a lot of expats relocating from China to Vietnam. Relocating from China to Vietnam is comparatively easy because China and Vietnam are connected by land, so there are many trucks commuting between the borders every day. The next content is based on our first-hand experience of helping expats in China.
How long does it take to ship from China to Vietnam?
By Express service,3-5 days
If you are in a hurry, Express is the choice, like using UPS, DHL, and FedEx, this can be used for very high-value goods or in urgent situations—for example, documents, and high-value samples. However, with this service, the one who receives the package needs to work with local UPS, DHL, and FedEx offices to finish the customs clearance, and of course, the cost is the highest.
By land,7-10 days
Since China and Vietnam share land borders, land transportation is very advanced, especially to the northern part of Vietnam, like Hanoi. Trucks go to Vietnam from China every day, so once we have all the shipments ready in the LightningCat warehouse, it will take just 5-7 days to arrive in Hanoi. For Ho Chi Minh City, it gonna take 2-3 days more.
By sea,10-15 days
By sea is the slowest shipping solution to Vietnam, however, if there is a huge volume to move by sea is also a good choice to choose, because the cost is the lowest.
