Rhum Phan · founder of 7 cross-border projects

Logistics and ecommerce from Vietnam

My projects ship parcels out of Vietnam, buy from Shopee for the US and from Amazon and Costco for Vietnam, and sell Vietnamese books and fashion abroad.

How a cross‑border order runs

  1. Quote from a product link

    A customer pastes a Shopee, Amazon or Costco link. The page shows the price in their own currency, tax and fee listed.

  2. Shipping priced by weight

    The goods are paid when the order is placed. Shipping is charged once the parcel is weighed, so nobody pays for a guess.

    • Weighed: 1.5 kg × $12

  3. Shipping tracked to the door

    VIO Shipping carries the parcel and posts each scan, from the branch where it is dropped off to the customer’s door.

Software for quotes and stock

I write much of the code myself: quotes from a pasted link, stock checks on Shopee, Costco and Tiki, and the feed of released .vn names.
