How to Send Flowers to Vietnam from the USA
By the Vietnam Flower Delivery team · 2026-11-06
To send flowers from the USA to Vietnam, contact Vietnam Flower Delivery by Hoa Lang Thang on WhatsApp (we serve Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City only—not other cities). Order in English, describe the occasion and recipient's address with a Vietnamese phone number. We photograph your exact bouquet before delivery, you pay by international card or bank transfer, and flowers arrive same-day in your chosen city. The process takes 5–10 business days for payment and delivery coordination; factor in a 12–13 hour time difference (US East Coast to Vietnam). No subscription, no middlemen: we are the florist. Ask us for a quote; costs depend on design, imported blooms, and delivery location. Avoid giving incomplete addresses or outdated phone numbers—we cannot deliver without both. How sending from abroad works
Why sending flowers from the USA to Vietnam isn't as hard as you'd think
Most people assume international flower delivery means using a third-party broker who marks up prices and never shows you the real flowers. We work differently: you order direct from our Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City shops via WhatsApp in English. We're the florists, not a middleman. That means you see a photo of your actual bouquet before payment clears—not a stock image. It also means we know Vietnamese addresses, phone formats, and same-day delivery logistics better than any US-based service. The only catch is geography: we deliver only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. For those two cities, though, the experience is as simple as texting a friend.

How do you place an order from across the ocean?
The order process starts with a WhatsApp message to our shop team in English, describing what you want (flowers, occasion, color, recipient's mood). We ask for the recipient's Vietnamese phone number and full address—both are non-negotiable for delivery. You don't need a Vietnamese bank account: we accept Visa, Mastercard, or international bank transfer. Once we confirm receipt of payment, we design and photograph your bouquet, send you the photo, and arrange same-day delivery in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. The entire back-and-forth happens in a few hours if you order early in your day (which is evening or night in Vietnam, 12–13 hours behind US East Coast). No account login, no portal, no hidden fees—just direct communication with the people who will hold your flowers.
What time zones and delays should you expect?
Vietnam is 12–13 hours ahead of the US East Coast and 15–16 hours ahead of the US West Coast. If you message us at 9 a.m. Monday in New York, it's already 9 p.m. Monday evening in Hanoi. Our team works typical business hours in Vietnam, so your order placed after 6 p.m. Vietnamese time will be acknowledged the next morning their time. Plan for 5–10 business days from order to delivery, accounting for payment clearing and bouquet preparation. Same-day delivery happens in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City once we confirm payment, usually within 4–6 hours of final approval. If you're sending flowers for an exact date (birthday, anniversary, Mother's Day), order at least 3–5 business days in advance to clear payment and coordinate timing across time zones.
Which occasions work best for flowers sent to Vietnam?
| Occasion | Best flower types | Why it works | Who to send to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birthday | Roses, sunflowers, mixed tropicals | Bright, celebratory; same-day delivery fits surprise | Partner, parent, friend |
| Mother's Day (May 12) | Pink roses, carnations, lilies | Symbolizes gratitude; high-volume occasion | Mother, grandmother, mentor |
| Women's Day (March 8) | Red or pink roses, orchids | Traditional gifting day in Vietnam; workplace custom | Colleagues, partner, sister |
| Tet (Lunar New Year) | Peach blossoms, kumquat, apricot | Symbolic for new year; fresh greenery important | Family, in-laws |
| Sympathy & funerals | White lilies, white chrysanthemums | Funeral etiquette demands white; avoid red | Family, business contacts |
| Grand opening or business | Bold reds, yellows, or company colors | Professional; flowers stay visible for days | Shop, office, restaurant |
| Anniversary or apology | Long-stem roses, orchids | Elegant, timeless; signals serious intent | Partner, spouse |
Choose birthday flowers for immediate impact, Mother's Day arrangements if the date is fixed, or anniversary blooms for romance. For formal occasions like business openings, we design larger displays that work as decor. Each type is photographed before delivery so you see exactly what arrives.

What must you know about Vietnamese addresses and phone numbers?
Vietnamese addresses follow a format Western people often get wrong. A typical address looks like:
- 123 Tran Hung Dao Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi
Always include the district (Quan in Vietnamese) and ward (Phuong), not just a street. Phone numbers in Vietnam are 10 digits starting with 09, 08, 03, or 02. An example: 0912 345 678. Do not add country code (+84) unless you're calling from abroad; inside Vietnam, locals dial only the 10-digit number. When you give us the address and phone, our delivery team calls the recipient to arrange a time. If the address is vague or the phone is wrong, delivery fails and we'll need to reschedule. Double-check both before you hit send on WhatsApp. We cannot deliver to hotels, post offices, or "care of" addresses—the recipient must be reachable at a physical street address in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.

How do card messages work if you're sending from abroad?
Card messages are one of the easiest parts: type exactly what you want in English in your WhatsApp message, and we'll have it handwritten in Vietnamese or English on the card. If you want the message in Vietnamese and don't speak the language, tell us the emotion you're conveying (gratitude, apology, birthday joy, sympathy) and we'll write something natural and culturally appropriate. A typical message is 1–3 sentences. Examples:
- "Happy birthday! Thinking of you from the USA. Love always." (stays in English)
- "Mừng sinh nhật!" (Vietnamese: "Happy birthday!") if you want local flavor
- "With deepest sympathy for your loss." (funerals, appropriate in English or Vietnamese)
Avoid inside jokes or slang from your home country—keep it warm, clear, and respectful. We write the message on a small card tucked into the bouquet. The recipient sees it when the flowers arrive, so the card message becomes the voice of your gift across the distance.
What happens if something goes wrong?
Honest answer: flower delivery is weather-dependent, address-dependent, and phone-dependent. Here's what can fail and how to prevent it:
Incomplete or wrong address → Delivery fails and must be rescheduled. Provide the full street address with district and ward. Have your recipient confirm their own address before you place the order.
Outdated or unreachable phone number → Our driver cannot contact the recipient to arrange a time. Verify the phone number works by asking your recipient to text you a reply or call the number yourself from abroad using a calling app.
Payment not cleared → Order is on hold until funds arrive. Use a major card (Visa/Mastercard) or bank transfer; allow 1–2 business days for clearance. Do not assume we've received money until we confirm in WhatsApp.
Recipient not home at agreed time → Delivery may be postponed. The recipient must agree to be available, or they may ask us to try again later that day. Communicate timing with them directly (they know you're sending flowers).
Seasonal flowers unavailable → Imported roses or rare blooms may be out of stock. We'll offer an alternative we photograph for you; you can approve or decline. Ask us for a quote upfront to know what's realistic for your budget and date.
Photo approval takes too long → If you take 12+ hours to approve the bouquet photo, same-day delivery may be missed. Plan to be available to review the photo within 2–3 hours of our WhatsApp message.
The rule: communicate early, verify contact details, approve the photo quickly, and assume nothing until we send delivery confirmation to you and your recipient.

Comparison: sending from USA vs. local purchase in Vietnam
| Factor | Send from USA | Recipient buys in Vietnam |
|---|---|---|
| Control over design | High—you approve a photo | Low—you rely on recipient's choice |
| Surprise element | Maximum—recipient has no warning | Minimal—no surprise |
| Cost | Per quote (includes international coordination) | Often cheaper locally |
| Time to delivery | 5–10 business days | Immediate or 1–2 days |
| Personal touch | High—you chose it from abroad | Low—feels impersonal if asked to self-shop |
| Occasion fit | Perfect for birthdays, apologies, long-distance love | Works only if recipient is willing to shop |
Sending from the USA wins for emotional impact, control, and surprise. Asking your recipient to buy their own flowers in Vietnam is cheaper but defeats the purpose of a gift.
Checklist before you order
Recipient's full street address with district and ward Recipient's working 10-digit Vietnamese phone number Occasion (birthday, Mother's Day, condolence, business) Preferred flower type or color (or say "surprise me") Any card message, or permission for us to write one Your international card (Visa/Mastercard) or bank transfer details ready Recipient's availability for same-day delivery (morning, afternoon, or evening) Budget: ask us for a quote on WhatsApp before confirming Delivery city: confirm we serve Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City (we do not deliver elsewhere) 3–5 business days in advance for fixed dates (birthdays, Mother's Day, Tet)
Missing any of these slows delivery. Double-check each one before you message us.

FAQ
How much does it cost to send flowers from the USA to Vietnam?

Can I send flowers for a specific date, like March 8 (Women's Day)?

What if the recipient is not home when flowers are delivered?

What if I want to send sympathy flowers after a death?
Sympathy and funeral flowers in Vietnam must be white—white lilies, white chrysanthemums, or white roses. Red flowers are avoided at funerals as they're associated with joy. Order as soon as possible, provide the family's address, and let us know the date of the funeral service if known.
How do I know the flowers you send are actually the ones I approved?
We photograph the exact bouquet we've designed for you and send the photo on WhatsApp before you pay final approval. You see the real flowers, real colors, and real vase or wrapping—not a stock image. You can ask us to adjust anything before we proceed to delivery.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, and international bank transfer. No PayPal, no cryptocurrency. Once we receive payment confirmation, we begin design and delivery coordination. Bank transfers may take 1–2 business days to clear; card payments are faster.
If I order at night USA time, when will my order be processed?
Vietnam is 12–13 hours ahead of US East Coast time. If you order at 9 p.m. Monday in New York, it's already 9 a.m. Tuesday morning in Hanoi.
