How to Send Flowers to Mom in Vietnam from Japan

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

From Japan, you can send fresh flowers to your mum in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City via Vietnam Flower Delivery by Hoa Lang Thang. Order in English on WhatsApp with a photo of the real arrangement before it ships. Delivery takes 5–10 days from Japan; we arrange local pickups or send same-day in-city delivery once the bouquet arrives. You pay by international card or bank transfer. Expect a photo of the finished arrangement, recipient's address in Vietnamese format (district, ward, street number), and confirmation of delivery. The biggest mistake: using incomplete addresses or mobile numbers without country code—always verify the 10-digit Vietnamese phone number and full street location. This works best for birthdays, Mother's Day (second Sunday of May globally), and milestone dates when you're away. How sending from abroad works

Why ordering from Japan requires different timing?

Japan is typically 1–2 hours ahead of Vietnam (Japan Standard Time, UTC+9; Vietnam Standard Time, UTC+7). When you order on a Thursday evening in Tokyo, it's already Thursday morning in Hanoi, so we can confirm and begin sourcing the same day. Order before noon Japan time for fastest handling; after 6 PM Tokyo time, expect processing to start the next morning Vietnam-side. Always factor the international transit window—5 to 10 days is standard—so order at least two weeks before important dates like Mother's Day. Confirm the delivery date in your WhatsApp conversation; we'll lock it in writing.

What information do you need to give us?

If the address is a residence in a secured building, include the building name and gate number so delivery staff find it. Never give just "Mom's place" or a hotel lobby—be specific. Double-check the phone number because our driver will call to confirm arrival. A missing digit or wrong ward can delay delivery by hours or cause a missed attempt.

Which cities can you actually reach?

We deliver in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City only—no exceptions. Within Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, we cover residential, office, and commercial addresses. Same-day delivery is available if you order by 11 AM Vietnam time; next-day is always an option. For exact service areas within each city, ask us on WhatsApp—some extreme outskirts may add a small delay.

How do you show me the bouquet before delivery?

Before your mum receives anything, we photograph the real, finished arrangement against a neutral background and send it via WhatsApp. You see exactly what was made—exact color, bloom count, vase or wrapping style. If it's not what you imagined, you have time to request adjustments (within reason: we can swap a rose color, adjust height, etc.). Only after you approve does our driver head out. The photo arrives 1–2 hours before delivery, giving you confidence and time to alert your mum to expect something beautiful.

What message options work best for Japanese senders?

You can write a card message in English—we'll have it translated to Vietnamese by our team or printed as-is if your mum reads English. Keep it short and warm: "Mom, missing you on your birthday. All my love from Tokyo" works perfectly. Avoid jokes that don't translate; stick to emotion and gratitude. If you speak Vietnamese, write in Vietnamese directly—we'll print it exactly. Many Japanese senders keep it brief and personal rather than formal, which Vietnamese recipients appreciate. Avoid business jargon unless it's a corporate gift. We'll confirm the message text matches your intention before printing.

What are the payment and confirmation steps?

Order via WhatsApp (include recipient's name, address, phone, date, and message). We'll reply with a quote—ask us for a quote on WhatsApp. Pay by international bank transfer or international credit card (we accept most Visa and Mastercard). Once payment clears, we lock the order and send you a confirmation number and estimated delivery window. You receive a photo of the bouquet 1–2 hours before delivery; your mum gets a call from the driver 30 minutes before arrival. After delivery, we send you a photo with the recipient (if they consent) or a delivery confirmation. The entire process is tracked in writing on WhatsApp—no surprises.

What mistakes should you avoid?

Incomplete or wrong address: Vietnamese addresses need the ward (phường) and district (quận)—a street name alone won't work. Use a map app (Google Maps or a local Vietnam app) to confirm the exact location before ordering.

Wrong phone format: Always include the country code (+84) and the full 10-digit number. Missing even one digit means the driver can't reach your mum.

Last-minute orders for holidays: Mother's Day, Tet, and Women's Day (March 8) see delays.

Unclear card messages: Keep messages short. Long, rambling English text may translate awkwardly. Stick to one clear sentiment.

Forgetting the time zone: Order 4–5 days before your target date to account for transit and any processing delays. Don't order the day before and hope.

Unverified addresses: Call or message your mum beforehand to confirm she'll be home. Delivery to an office where she doesn't work that day is a missed opportunity.

Real scenario: A Japanese sender, Mother's Day

It's mid-April in Tokyo. Your mum's birthday is May 10 in Ho Chi Minh City. You message us on WhatsApp with her name (Nguyễn Thị Hương), phone (+84912345678), address (123 Tran Hung Dao, District 5), and your card: "Mom, can't be there but thinking of you. Love you always." We reply with a quote. You pay via bank transfer by April 18. We confirm receipt and lock May 9 delivery (the day before, to avoid last-minute chaos). On May 8, we send you a photo of a vibrant mixed bouquet—pink roses, white lilies, and seasonal blooms. You approve. On May 9 at 4 PM Ho Chi Minh time, your mum's phone rings; the driver arrives with flowers and the card in Vietnamese. She's surprised and happy. You get a confirmation photo on WhatsApp. Total time invested: two messages, one approval, one payment—and your mum feels your love across the border.

Sending to different occasions from Japan

For Mother's Day flowers, order 2–3 weeks early; we arrange mixed bouquets or premium orchids. For birthday flowers, any time works as long as you give us 5–10 days lead time. For Women's Day (March 8), book even earlier—it's as busy as Mother's Day in Vietnam. If sending to a business opening, we offer business and corporate arrangements. For condolences, sympathy flowers are available on 24-hour notice if you're a repeat customer.

Logistics: How flowers actually get from Japan to Vietnam

When you order and pay, we don't import flowers from Japan—we source fresh local and imported blooms from suppliers in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City (whichever city your mum is in). This keeps costs lower and freshness higher than air-freighting from Japan. Your payment covers our design, labor, and same-city delivery. Customs and import complexity are avoided because the flowers stay in Vietnam. The 5–10 day timeline accounts only for WhatsApp communication, payment clearing, and in-country handling—not international shipping. This is why we're faster and cheaper than trying to mail flowers yourself.

How sending from abroad works

Before you buy: A quick checklist

  • [ ] Confirm mum's full address with ward and district (call her or check on Google Maps)
  • [ ] Verify her 10-digit phone number with country code +84
  • [ ] Decide on delivery date and occasion (birthday, Mother's Day, etc.)
  • [ ] Choose flower type (roses, orchids, sunflowers, or mixed—see the table above)
  • [ ] Draft your card message in English or Vietnamese (keep it short and warm)
  • [ ] Confirm she will be home on delivery day
  • [ ] Have your payment method ready (international card or bank transfer details)
  • [ ] Message us on WhatsApp with all details and wait for photo approval

What to expect after you send flowers

Your mum receives a call from our driver ~30 minutes before arrival. She meets the driver at the door (or a ground-floor lobby if it's a building). The bouquet comes with the card and our branding (discreet, professional). She can display it immediately—no assembly needed. Flowers last 7–10 days depending on type (orchids last 2–3 weeks). She can share a photo on social media or keep it private. You'll get a confirmation on WhatsApp with delivery proof. If anything goes wrong—driver can't find the address, mum isn't home—we'll tell you immediately and reschedule at no extra cost (within 48 hours).
