General Advice
  • In order to ensure a delivery on time, please ensure that your parcel has the full, correct address, an email address in the correct format and a mobile or landline number for the intended recipient. This will help the delivery partner to ensure the parcel is delivered correct first time. This should be clearly marked on the parcel.   
  • Timescales shown above do not include delays caused by destination country customs processes. Please be aware that customs could add additional time to your parcel delivery.
  • The Vietnamese address and postcode system has been adjusted and the previous system is no longer valid. Any items for Vietnam must bear an accurate recipient address and postcode under the new system. Customers can find tools for looking up the new address and postcode here. Any items despatched to Vietnam that do not comply with these regulations will be returned to sender.
