How to Send Roses to Vietnam from Sweden: International Delivery Guide
By the Vietnam Flower Delivery team · 2026-11-06
To send roses from Sweden to Vietnam, contact us on WhatsApp with your recipient's Vietnamese phone number, full address in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, and desired delivery date. We confirm time-zone differences (Sweden is 6–7 hours behind Vietnam depending on daylight saving), photograph your real bouquet, and arrange payment by international card or bank transfer. Delivery takes 5–10 business days from order confirmation. Roses arrive fresh in a professional arrangement, and we verify the recipient's phone number before leaving the flowers at the door or with a contact person. Roses work best for anniversaries, romantic gestures, and "I'm sorry" moments; avoid odd numbers (especially 13) and ensure the address includes a street name, ward, district, and city, as Vietnamese postal systems lack formal postcodes. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp.
Why doesn't a Swedish address matter for delivery?
We deliver only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City—your Swedish address is never used. What matters is the recipient's full Vietnamese street address, ward name, district, and city. Swedish postal codes and street formats don't help our drivers find the door in Vietnam. Always provide the Vietnamese phone number the recipient will answer, not their Swedish mobile. This is the single biggest cause of failed deliveries: customers send generic district names without a specific street or house number. Get a Google Maps screenshot of the exact address if unsure.

How do time zones affect your order and delivery timing?
Sweden runs 6–7 hours ahead of Vietnam (UTC+1 or UTC+2 in summer; Vietnam is always UTC+7). If you order on WhatsApp at 14:00 Swedish time on a Tuesday, it reaches us at 08:00 or 09:00 Vietnam time the same morning. Delivery happens 2–5 business days later, depending on Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City warehouse stock and driver availability. Plan for a 5–10 day total window from your first message to the flowers arriving at the recipient's door. Never assume same-day or next-day delivery from Sweden; those fast timelines do not exist for international orders. Weekend and Vietnamese public holidays (including Tet and Lunar New Year) add 1–3 days. Know the date and time in Vietnam before you order.
What payment methods work from Sweden, and what do you need from me?
We accept international credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) and bank transfers from Swedish banks. You do not need a Vietnamese bank account. On WhatsApp, we send you an invoice link or transfer details; you pay before we photograph the bouquet. No cash, no PayPal, no cryptocurrency. Your card issuer may flag a payment to a Vietnamese business as unusual—this is normal and your bank will usually approve it after you confirm. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp with your recipient's name, date, city, and rose preference. We reply with the total cost (in your home currency if you use an international card processor). Bank transfers take 2–5 business days to clear; card payments are instant.

What makes roses meaningful for Vietnamese anniversaries and love occasions?
Roses symbolize deep love and commitment in Vietnamese culture, mirroring Western tradition. Red roses are the standard for romantic anniversaries and proposals; pink roses convey admiration and gratitude; white roses suit engagements and respectful gestures; yellow roses (avoid these for romance) signal friendship or apology. Even-numbered bouquets are preferred—6, 8, 10, or 12 roses work well. Never send 4 (sounds like death in Vietnamese) or 13 (bad luck). Our anniversary and love flowers collection includes designer arrangements with premium imported stems and local greenery, often combined with greeting cards in Vietnamese. The recipient sees a professional wrap with tissue and ribbon; we photograph it in our Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City shop and text you the image before the driver departs. Roses stay fresh 7–10 days in a clean vase with water and flower food (we include simple care instructions in Vietnamese if requested). Choose roses and anniversary flowers for birthdays, wedding anniversaries, apologies, and "I love you" moments. They are not appropriate for funerals, business grand openings, or Mother's Day (where mixed local flowers are preferred).

How to choose the right rose type and avoid common ordering mistakes?
| Rose Type | Vietnamese Occasion | Who Sends It | Why It Works | Common Mistake |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red, 10–12 stems | Anniversary or "I love you" | Partners, spouses | Unmistakable romantic meaning | Ordering 13 (unlucky) or mixing red + white (mixed message) |
| Red, 6–8 stems | Apology or admiration | Friends, colleagues | Respectful but not too forward | Sending after the conflict is forgotten; timing matters |
| Pink mix | Birthday or celebration | Family, friends | Cheerful and not overly romantic | Assuming pink = less serious; it signals real care |
| White, single or mixed | Engagement or respect | Fiancés, parents | Elegant and pure; safe for formal settings | White roses can appear funeral-like alone; pair with greenery |
| Avoid: Yellow alone | Not romantic | Not for anniversaries | Associated with friendship or apology only | Sending yellow to a romantic partner (confuses the meaning) |
Write your card message in English or Vietnamese. We translate and print Vietnamese messages at no extra cost. Avoid jokes about time, distance, or "wishing you were here"—they can sound melancholy. Instead, use direct phrases: "I miss you and think of you every day" (in Vietnamese: "Em nhớ anh/chị và nghĩ về anh/chị mỗi ngày"). Keep card messages under 50 words for clarity and elegance.

What goes wrong, and how do we fix it?
Incorrect address: The most common issue. Always include street number, street name, ward, district, and city. We verify by phone with the recipient 24 hours before delivery. If the address is incomplete, we contact you immediately and delay delivery until confirmed.
Wrong phone number: The recipient won't answer, and we cannot leave flowers without verbal confirmation. Double-check the number you provide—it should be the phone they carry daily, not an office line or landline they rarely use.
Payment not cleared: Card payments are instant; bank transfers take 2–5 business days in Vietnam's time zone. If you order a bouquet for tomorrow but pay by transfer today, we cannot guarantee delivery until the funds arrive. Always check the cleared date before setting a delivery expectation.
Unrealistic delivery dates: You cannot order on Friday for Monday delivery (most orders take 2–5 business days after payment clears). Tet, Christmas, and Vietnamese holidays add 3–5 days. Plan at least one week ahead.
Recipient not home: We always call the phone number provided. If no one answers, we wait one hour and try again. If the recipient still does not pick up, we return the flowers to our shop and contact you. Ensure the recipient knows when the flowers will arrive (send them a text or email the morning of delivery).
What to check before you buy
- Recipient's full Vietnamese street address (not a hotel, but a home or office with a door number and street name).
- Recipient's active Vietnamese phone number they will answer (not a landline, not an old number).
- Delivery city: Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City only.
- Occasion and rose color: Red for romance, pink for celebration, white for formal respect. Avoid yellow for romantic gestures.
- Even number of stems (6, 8, 10, 12) unless a specific design calls for odd.
- Card message in English or Vietnamese (we translate and print for free).
- Payment method (card or bank transfer) and expected delivery date (minimum 5–10 business days from your order).
- Time zone: It is 6–7 hours earlier in Sweden than in Vietnam. Order early your morning = early morning in Vietnam.

FAQ
How long do the roses stay fresh after delivery?
Roses last 7–10 days in a clean vase with room-temperature water and flower food (we include care instructions). Avoid direct sunlight, heaters, and ripening fruit nearby, which all shorten lifespan.
What if the recipient's phone is off when we try to deliver?
We call the number twice with a one-hour gap. If still no answer, we return the roses to our shop and contact you to reschedule. Always tell the recipient the delivery window (morning or afternoon) so they are home.
Can I add a handwritten card, or do you print the message?
We print your message on a card and include it with the bouquet. Handwritten cards cannot be posted internationally, but our printed cards are elegant and included at no extra charge.
Do I need to tip the delivery driver?
No. Tipping is not expected in Vietnam for flower delivery. The recipient does not need to pay anything or sign—our drivers verify the address and phone, then leave the flowers at the door or with the recipient.
What if my recipient does not like roses?
If they prefer other anniversary flowers or a mixed arrangement, we have options. But roses are the safest choice for anniversaries and romantic occasions—tell us if your recipient's taste is unusual, and we can suggest alternatives on WhatsApp.

No. International orders from Sweden take 5–10 business days minimum, even with card payment (which is instant). We cannot compress international mail timelines. Always plan at least one week ahead.

We accept international credit cards (charged in your home currency by your bank's processor) and bank transfers from Swedish accounts. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp—we will show the total price in your currency before you pay.
