How to Send Flowers to Hanoi from France: Steps & Timing

By the Vietnam Flower Delivery team · 2026-11-06

Sending flowers from France to Hanoi takes 5–10 days and works entirely remote: you order on WhatsApp in English, we source fresh imported and local blooms from our Hanoi shop, you pay by international card or bank transfer, and we send a photo of the real bouquet before it's delivered to your recipient. Vietnam Flower Delivery by Hoa Lang Thang handles the address translation, phone contact, and same-day or next-day delivery in Hanoi only. Costs vary by design and season; ask us for a quote on WhatsApp. Avoid vague addresses or outdated phone numbers—confirm your recipient's location before ordering. This method suits people abroad who want proof of freshness and no middleman markup. Order on WhatsApp +84 969 293 894 | How sending from abroad works

What is the time difference between France and Hanoi?

France is 6–7 hours behind Hanoi (depending on daylight saving). When you order on a French weekday evening, our Hanoi team receives it during their morning or afternoon, meaning you get a same-day or next-day delivery window. If you order Friday evening Paris time, delivery may slip to Monday Hanoi time. Confirm your desired delivery date in the order message; we work within Hanoi business hours (8 a.m.–6 p.m. local time, six days a week). The time gap means faster turnaround than many competitors but requires you to order ahead for specific dates.

How do you format a Hanoi address for flower delivery?

Hanoi addresses need the street name (in Vietnamese or Latin script), the house or building number, the ward name, and the district. Our team translates and verifies the address on WhatsApp before we proceed. A valid example: "123 Tran Hung Dao Street, Hoan Kiem Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi." Include a phone number (Vietnamese mobile numbers start with +84 9, 8, or 3; drop the leading 0 if you have a local number). If the recipient is in a hotel or serviced apartment, name the building clearly. Incomplete or outdated addresses delay delivery; always ask your recipient to confirm their exact address and phone number before you send it to us.

What payment methods work from France?

We accept international credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard) and bank transfers from French accounts to Vietnam. Card payments process on WhatsApp or email; no third-party platform takes a cut. Bank transfers take 2–3 business days to clear, so order early if you use that method. Currency conversion happens at your bank's rate; ask us for a quote in euros on WhatsApp, and your bank will show the final charge in euros. Keep your order receipt and payment confirmation for reference. Never prepay to an unknown account; we confirm our payment details on first contact.

How do you choose the right flower type for a Hanoi recipient?

Match the bloom to the occasion and the recipient's taste. Birthday flowers suit celebrations; Women's Day arrangements (March 8) are traditional in Vietnam and often feature roses or gerberas. Anniversary and love roses work for romantic milestones; Mother's Day flowers (May 12 in Vietnam) honor maternal bonds and often include orchids or lilies. Tet flowers and gifts during Lunar New Year (January–February) use lucky colors—red, gold, and yellow—and blooms like peach blossom or kumquat. For sympathy and funeral arrangements, white chrysanthemums or lilies express respect. Ask yourself: "What is the occasion, and what message do I want to send?" Once you know the answer, tell us on WhatsApp and we'll design something fitting. We photograph the finished bouquet so you see exactly what the recipient will receive.

What happens after you place your order?

After you order on WhatsApp and pay, our Hanoi team sources the blooms (fresh daily from local and imported stock), designs the bouquet by hand, and photographs it in natural light. You receive the photo and approve it—or ask for changes—within a few hours. Once you confirm, we deliver same-day or next-day to your recipient's address in Hanoi. They receive a fresh bouquet, a card with your message, and (optionally) a small gift or cake. You get a delivery confirmation with the time and recipient's reaction if they reply to our message. The entire process is transparent: you see the real flowers, not a stock photo. This protects both you and your recipient.

Can you send flowers to other Vietnamese cities?

We deliver only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. For flower delivery in Ho Chi Minh City, the same remote process applies—order, pay, photo approval, and delivery within 5–10 days. If you need flowers in a city outside our coverage, we recommend asking local florists in that city directly. We focus on quality and honesty over false promises.

When should you order for special Vietnamese occasions?

Order Mother's Day flowers 5–7 days ahead; May is peak season and blooms sell fast. Tet flowers and gifts during Lunar New Year (late January to early February) need 10–14 days' lead time because demand surges. Women's Day flowers on March 8 should be ordered by March 5. Birthday flowers can go out 2–3 days ahead. Business and opening flowers for grand openings or corporate events need 5–7 days to plan and source special designs. Always ask us whether a date falls on a Vietnamese holiday; shops may close on Tet or other national days.

What message should you write in a card?

Tell us the message in English or French and we'll translate it to Vietnamese if needed. Keep it short—3–4 sentences maximum. For birthdays, say something personal: "Happy 30th! Thinking of you from Paris." For sympathy, express respect and support: "My deepest condolences. Your loved one will be remembered." For Mother's Day, honor her role: "Thank you for everything you've done. I'm grateful every day." For romance, be sincere: "Missing you. I can't wait to see you soon." Avoid generic platitudes; specificity means more to the recipient. We print the message on a card included with the bouquet, or we can add it digitally if you prefer.

What do you need to check before ordering?

Before placing your order, verify:

  • Recipient's full name and phone number (current, not old)
  • Street address in Hanoi (house number, street, ward, district)
  • Occasion (birthday, Mother's Day, sympathy, romance, etc.)
  • Delivery date and preferred time window (morning, afternoon, evening)
  • Any allergies or flower dislikes (we'll adjust if you mention them)
  • Card message (in English, French, or Vietnamese)
  • Budget range (ask us for a quote)
  • International payment method (card or bank transfer)

FAQ

What if the recipient's phone is unreachable on delivery day?

We attempt to call the number you provided. If unreachable, we may leave the bouquet with a building receptionist or a trusted neighbor, depending on the location. Always confirm the recipient will be available or provide an alternative contact. Unreachable recipients can delay delivery; verify beforehand.

Do you accept orders for same-day delivery in Hanoi?

Yes, if you order before 11 a.m. Hanoi time (5 a.m. Paris time). Same-day delivery costs the same as next-day; we prioritize it if flowers are in stock. For late orders, next-day delivery is standard. Always mention urgency in your WhatsApp message.

What happens if the recipient refuses the delivery or is not home?

If they're not home and no alternative contact is available, we keep the bouquet in our shop refrigerator for 24 hours. We'll message or call to reschedule. You'll be notified immediately. Prevent this by confirming the recipient's availability before payment.

Can I add a gift (cake, chocolate, or bear) to my flower order?

Yes. Flowers with cake and gifts are available; ask us on WhatsApp what's in stock. Prices vary; we'll quote you. Gifts add 1–2 days to sourcing time, so order at least 3–4 days ahead. We deliver the flowers and gift together.

How fresh are the flowers when they arrive?

Blooms are arranged the day of or day before delivery from fresh daily stock. Vase life depends on the variety—roses last 7–10 days, orchids 2–3 weeks, gerberas 10–14 days—if the recipient changes water every 2–3 days. We include care tips with every delivery.
