Questions
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
To Hanoi usually about 2 days, through the Mukdahan border. The price depends on the goods, origin, volume and temperature; each shipment gets its own quote.
Can fruit and flowers share a truck?
Some fruit gives off ethylene, which ages flowers and ripens other produce, and different goods want different temperatures. Tell us everything that is going when you ask for a quote and the quotation will say how it is arranged. Fresco 1-MCP sachets help inhibit ethylene.
Do you take part loads? Is there a minimum?
Yes. We consolidate your goods with other shippers' in the same container; any minimum and the rate are in the quotation.
Which cities in Vietnam do you deliver to?
Our main lane is to Hanoi. For another city, tell us when you ask for a quote.
