INSURED PARCEL POST. Make sure it's got a Customs Declaration on it.

The parcel centre at the Main Post Office is right on the corner of Hai Ba Trung and Nguyen Du - opposite the Asiana Hotel/Mall.

Free parking.

You will be told 4 weeks but don't start sweating it until 8 weeks. Ever heard of the slow boat to China? Well this is it's counter part.

Don't seal the package (they have packing materials at the counter [for sale] as the counter staff have to make sure you are not smuggling something or other.

Insure for USD$100 (minimum).

Tuhang,

They have these in the Vietnamese shopping centers, all over the US.聽 If they don't, just ask around, I am quite sure someone can point you to one.

In Phuoc Long Tho, it cost about the same as they do here, or just a tad more.聽 So, it is not worth the trouble.
