Why Cross-Border Shipping from Vietnam is Still Broken in 2026

FAQs

Reader questions, answered.

How often do you publish?

One headline piece per month, plus 2–3 shorter field notes between releases. The monthly long-read is what the Lane Letter newsletter circulates — the short notes go up here without an email.

Can I republish or quote your articles?

Short excerpts (up to 150 words) and pulled stats are fine with a link back. Full republishing requires a quick email to press@shipx.asia — we usually say yes within 48 hours.

Where do the data points come from?

From ShipX's own network. Every transit number, cost figure, or volume stat in our writing is pulled from the parcels we move — ~2.5M last year across the VN, SG, MY, ID, and TH origins. We never cite third-party reports without naming them inline.

Can I pitch a guest article?

Yes, if you're an operator: warehouse manager, customs broker, marketplace seller, freight forwarder. We don't take vendor-led pitches. Send a paragraph + an outline to editor@shipx.asia.

How do I subscribe to the Lane Letter?

Use the form at the bottom of this page. One email per month with the headline piece and three curated links from the rest of the cross-border world. Already shipping with ShipX? You're auto-subscribed when you create an account.

Do you have an RSS feed or a Slack feed?

RSS at shipx.asia/blog.rss. No Slack feed yet, but it's on the roadmap for Q3 — reply to the Lane Letter if you want a heads-up when it ships.
