Hello!
Has anyone here experience with receiving goods from the UK?
I want some books sent from my home in the UK to Hanoi, they are only secondhand books, costing no more than a few pounds each (5 - 6 items, probably about 3kg in total).
Are these considered cultural items here in Vietnam? Will they be inspected at Customs? Should I have them sent to my apartment or office in Hanoi? Will they add an import tax, or will they simply go missing?!
There's lots of info on the web, but a lot of it is contradictory. What would be really great is to hear some first-hand experiences.
I have sent a number of things from Hanoi to the UK. Everything sent from the local post office by the Lake has arrived in the UK, but I'm not sure of the service in the other direction. I also can't justify shipping £20 worth of books through Fedex of DHL for a cost of £100+.
Advice needed please!
Thanks so much!
