Sending Mooncakes from the UK to Vietnam
If you are based in the UK and want to send mooncakes to family or friends in Vietnam for Tết Trung Thu, SaigonFlowers makes the process straightforward. You order and pay online from the UK — we source and deliver within Vietnam. No international shipping involved, no customs risk, no concerns about mooncakes arriving stale after a long-haul journey.
SaigonFlowers has served overseas Vietnamese customers — including many in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and across the UK — since 2001.

Step 3 — Add a Card Message
Add your message in English or Vietnamese at checkout. We write it by hand and include it with the delivery. Pricing is never shown to the recipient.

Time Zone Guide for UK Customers
Vietnam (UTC+7) is 6 hours ahead of UK Summer Time (BST) and 7 hours ahead of GMT in winter. This means:
- A morning order placed in London (9am BST) = 3pm in Vietnam the same day — fully within the working day for same-day processing
- An evening UK order placed after 6pm BST = midnight in Vietnam — processed next business morning
UK customers have a useful time advantage for same-day Vietnam delivery. Morning orders from the UK arrive in Vietnam during peak business hours.
