Vietnam is home to a growing ecommerce market, offering everything from local fashion brands and beauty products to handmade accessories, electronics and unique lifestyle goods.
Popular platforms such as Shopee Vietnam, Tiki and social media marketplaces make it easy to discover Vietnamese products. However, international shoppers may encounter difficulties with local payment methods, Vietnamese-language listings and sellers who only deliver within Vietnam.
With Com&Buy's Buy For Me service, you can purchase eligible products from Vietnamese sellers without needing a local payment account or delivery address. We handle the purchase on your behalf, receive your items at our Vietnam warehouse and help you arrange international shipping.

Tiki is a Vietnamese ecommerce platform offering electronics, books, household essentials, beauty products and lifestyle goods.
It is useful for shoppers looking for products from local retailers and Vietnamese brands.
Some purchases may require supported domestic payment methods or delivery to an address within Vietnam.
Com&Buy can assist with eligible purchases when the seller's ordering and payment requirements are supported.

Many Vietnamese independent brands, artists and small businesses promote their products through Instagram.
Popular products include:
Local fashion and boutique clothing
Handmade accessories and jewellery
Custom phone cases and tote bags
Stationery and lifestyle products
Independent designer merchandise
Some sellers accept orders through their websites, while others provide purchasing instructions through direct messages.
If a seller does not provide a standard product link, check with Com&Buy whether the ordering method is supported.
4. Facebook Marketplace and Social Sellers
Facebook is widely used by Vietnamese businesses and individual sellers to advertise products, announce new releases and communicate with customers.
You may discover products through Facebook pages, marketplace listings and shopping groups.
However, payment arrangements, seller reliability and delivery options vary. Purchases from individual sellers may require additional clarification before proceeding.
What Can You Buy from Vietnam?
Vietnam offers a variety of locally produced and internationally sourced goods.
Some popular categories include:
Fashion & Accessories: Vietnamese clothing brands, streetwear, bags and footwear.
Beauty & Personal Care: Skincare, beauty accessories and locally available cosmetics.
Handmade Goods: Crafts, jewellery, artwork and custom accessories.
Electronics & Gadgets: Tech accessories, electronic components and everyday gadgets.
Home & Lifestyle: Home décor, kitchen accessories and household products.

Before purchasing, check whether your products are eligible for international shipping. Certain items, including liquids, batteries, food and other restricted goods, may require additional documentation or may not be accepted.
Why Is Shopping from Vietnam Difficult for International Buyers?
Although Vietnamese online marketplaces offer a wide selection of products, purchasing from overseas can involve several challenges.
Local Payment Requirements
Some Vietnamese sellers accept domestic bank transfers, MoMo, ZaloPay or other locally supported payment methods.
International buyers may not have access to these options, particularly when account verification requires local information.
Domestic Shipping Restrictions
Many sellers only deliver within Vietnam, making it necessary to use a local receiving address before arranging international shipping.
Language and Seller Communication
Product descriptions, ordering instructions and seller communications may be written primarily in Vietnamese.
Important details such as sizing, variations, availability and delivery arrangements can be difficult to confirm without assistance.
Product Availability
Promotional products, limited-stock items and products sold through social media may become unavailable before an order is processed.
Submitting a purchase request does not guarantee that the item can be secured.

Tips for Shopping Online from Vietnam
1. Check Seller Ratings and Reviews
Before purchasing, review the seller's feedback, transaction history and product descriptions.
Be cautious of unusually low prices, unclear listings or requests for payment outside the platform's normal checkout process.
2. Confirm Product Variations
Check the size, colour, model, quantity and other relevant specifications carefully.
For clothing and footwear, review the seller's measurements rather than assuming international sizing standards are identical.
3. Understand Promotional Pricing
Vietnamese marketplaces frequently offer vouchers, flash sales and promotional discounts.
Some offers may only be available to eligible accounts or during specific promotional periods. The final purchase price may differ from the advertised promotional price.
4. Check Shipping Restrictions
Certain products may be restricted from international transportation, including:
Loose batteries and power banks
Liquids and certain cosmetics
Dangerous goods and chemicals
Perishable food products
Other goods restricted by carriers or customs authorities
Check the applicable shipping requirements before placing your order.
5. Consolidate Parcels Where Practical
If you are purchasing from multiple Vietnamese sellers, consider consolidating eligible parcels received at the same warehouse.
Consolidation may reduce international shipping costs depending on the combined weight, dimensions and destination.
6. Confirm Important Details Before Purchasing
If you are unsure about a product's availability, specifications or condition, use Com&Buy's Ask Seller service to request clarification.
Seller responses depend on the information provided by the seller and do not constitute a guarantee of product quality or authenticity.
