How to use

Estimate delivery costs across Vietnam using major carriers like GHN and GHTK. Select your preferred carrier, choose the shipping zone (Intra-province, Nearby Inter-province, or Far Inter-province), and enter the package weight in kilograms. The tool automatically calculates the base fee and any additional weight surcharges to give you the precise total estimated shipping cost.

E-commerce sellers can reliably use this simple calculator to set accurate shipping policies, optimize margins, and completely avoid undercharging customers for heavy items. Proper shipping cost estimation is highly recommended for building trust with your buyers and protecting your operational profits.

Remember that actual carrier rates may slightly vary depending on specific negotiated seller contracts, promotional discounts, volumetric weight differences, and peak season surcharges. Always check directly with your assigned carrier representative for final binding contract prices.

How it's calculated

Base Shipping Fee

zone * 10000 + carrier * 5000

Base fee by zone and carrier (approximate)

Weight Surcharge

max(0, weight - 1) * 2500

Additional charge for each kg over 1 kg

Estimated Total Shipping Fee

base_fee + weight_surcharge

Estimated total shipping fee. Actual rates may vary — check GHN or GHTK website for exact pricing.

Examples

GHN — 1kg nearby inter-province

  • Delivery Zone:2
  • Package Weight (kg):1
  • Carrier:1

Result

  • Base Shipping Fee:25,000
  • Estimated Total Shipping Fee:25,000
  • Weight Surcharge:0

A standard 1kg package delivered to a nearby inter-province location comfortably falls within the base weight limit, so only the base 25,000 VND fee applies. This is great for small lightweight items.

GHTK — 3kg far inter-province

  • Delivery Zone:3
  • Package Weight (kg):3
  • Carrier:2

Result

  • Base Shipping Fee:40,000
  • Estimated Total Shipping Fee:45,000
  • Weight Surcharge:5,000

For a heavier 3kg package traveling far away, the base fee covers up to the initial limit. The additional extra weight strongly triggers a 5,000 VND surcharge, bringing the total estimated cost to 45,000 VND.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary difference between GHN and GHTK?

GHN (Giao Hàng Nhanh) strongly focuses on fast delivery with a very wide nationwide network and excellent API integration for diverse e-commerce platforms. GHTK (Giao Hàng Tiết Kiệm) is predominantly known for highly competitive pricing, especially for regular economy shipping needs. Both carriers are widely used by professional Shopee and TikTok Shop sellers in Vietnam.

How are different shipping zones defined in Vietnam?

Intra-province means the sender and receiver are located in the exact same province or city. Nearby inter-province covers geographically adjacent or close provinces (for example, HCM to Binh Duong). Far inter-province normally covers distantly separated provinces (like HCM to Hanoi). The exact zone classification always depends on the specific carrier's distinct routing rules.

Are these estimated shipping rates perfectly accurate?

The rates calculated in this tool are approximate estimates based strictly on standard published retail rates. Your actual final fees heavily depend on your specially negotiated contract rates, physical package dimensions (volumetric weight), total declared value, and any active promotional campaigns. Always verify with GHN or GHTK directly for perfectly exact pricing.

How is volumetric weight calculated for large packages?

All major shipping carriers will charge based on the higher value between the actual physical weight and the calculated volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is usually calculated using the standard formula of (Length x Width x Height in cm) divided by 5000.
