Our verdict

Bách Hóa Xanh suits people buying fresh food and daily essentials near one of its stores, with distance-based delivery fees published, return windows set per product group and fast refunds to the Tiền Dư balance. The trade-offs are a 4.0/5 Google Play rating with frequent wrong-item complaints, and App Store and Google Play data declarations that contradict each other.

Best for: Shoppers who buy meat, fish, vegetables and household basics regularly and prefer ordering in the app

Skip it if: People far from a store: each km beyond 3 km adds 4,000 VND, and instant delivery only covers orders under 5 km

Pros

  • Large footprint: the home page lists 4,395 stores, and 2025 revenue was nearly 46,900 billion VND, up 14% (Báo Pháp Luật, 22 Jan 2026)
  • Published delivery fees: within 3 km, 24-hour delivery is free from 150,000 VND (under 20 kg) and 4-hour delivery is free from 300,000 VND
  • Return windows published per product group: 48 hours for fresh goods, 24 hours for frozen and chilled, 7 days for other items

Cons

  • Google Play shows only 4.0/5 across about 9,730 reviews, and the latest reviews cite wrong items, late out-of-stock calls and difficult returns
  • The home page promises '2h delivery', but the delivery policy lists no 2-hour option, only instant, 60-minute, 4-hour and 24-hour slots
All pros and cons · Who is it for?

Pros

  • The app scores 4.4/5 on the App Store (3,698 ratings) and ranked #2 among free food and drink apps on Google Play when viewed

Cons

  • Contradictory data declarations: the App Store lists tracking and location collection, while Google Play says no data is collected

Best for

  • People living near one of the chain's stores (the home page listed 4,395 stores on 10 Nov 2026), since delivery fees depend on distance

Skip it if

  • People who want to avoid tracking, since the App Store label says usage and diagnostics data are used to track

Experience & key features

What it is

Bách Hóa Xanh is a mini-supermarket chain selling fresh food and daily essentials, owned by Mobile World (MWG), with the website bachhoaxanh.com and apps on iOS and Android. The Google Play description lists meat, fish, poultry, seafood, vegetables, mother-and-baby food and household and beauty products. According to VnExpress (31 July 2024), the chain began operating in 2016 and turned its first quarterly profit in Q2 2024, about 7 billion VND, after eight years of cumulative losses above 8,700 billion VND. In 2025 revenue reached nearly 46,900 billion VND, up 14%, with 789 new stores (Báo Pháp Luật, 22 Jan 2026).

Ordering, delivery fees and tiers

On the website, buyers pick a delivery location, browse by category and can use a 'what to eat today' meal section. The delivery policy (effective 22 Sept 2025) offers four options: instant (Giao ngay), 60-minute slot, 4-hour slot and 24-hour economy. Within 3 km, orders of 150,000 VND or more and under 20 kg pay 0 to 9,000 VND; orders of 300,000 VND or more get free 4-hour and 24-hour delivery; beyond that, each km adds 4,000 VND. Instant delivery only takes orders under 5 km, up to 40 kg and 12 items. The customer policy (from 4 Sept 2025) sets tiers by quarterly spend, every tier earns 1% points, and Silver and Gold get extra delivery discounts up to 4 times a month.

Returns and refunds

Missing, defective, damaged or below-promise items qualify for exchange or refund, with 48 hours for fresh goods, 24 hours for frozen and chilled, 30 days for rice and 7 days for other items. Bank-transfer refunds land in the Tiền Dư balance and can be withdrawn to a bank in 3 working days, provided the order was prepaid by transfer without a purchase voucher or VIP gift points. Neither the return nor the refund page shows a publication date, so buyers should confirm terms in the app.

More analysis

Versus the alternatives

Bách Hóa Xanh is strongest on store density and published delivery and return rules. This review did not compare shelf prices, so shoppers focused on the lowest price should also check WinMart or AEON Vietnam. Before installing, look at the data declarations, since the App Store and Google Play listings disagree.

Cancellation & refunds

Per the online-order return policy page (no publication date shown), missing, defective, damaged or below-promised-quality goods can be exchanged or refunded, checked with the delivery person at handover. Windows from delivery: vegetables, fruit, poultry/meat, seafood and fresh food 48 hours; frozen or chilled goods, ice cream and chilled dairy 24 hours; rice 30 days; other products 7 days. Bank-transfer orders are refunded to the Tiền Dư balance in the app or on the web, expected within 30 minutes; withdrawal to a bank takes 3 working days, from 10,000 to 3,000,000 VND per withdrawal.

Privacy

The personal-data processing policy (version 2.0, updated 16 Oct 2026) lists name, phone, address, date of birth, ID numbers, email, images, cookies, IP address and device ID, plus sensitive data: location for delivery and order tracking, biometrics for authentication and health status. Data may be shared with group companies (not named) and third-party processors when legal conditions and consent are met; the policy does not say whether data is sold. Users can access, correct or delete data or withdraw consent via [email protected], the 028.38125960 hotline or the app account, with a promised 48-hour response. Data is deleted 5 years after a customer stops using the service. The App Store privacy label (developer-declared, not verified by Apple) lists location, contact info, identifiers and usage data linked to the user, and usage and diagnostics data used for tracking. The Google Play page instead says no data is collected or shared. The two declarations do not match.

Review evidence & sources11

Scores

Ease of use
7.0
Why this score

The website has a delivery-location picker, clear categories and a 'what to eat today' meal section, and the App Store rating is 4.4/5. Google Play shows 4.0/5 and recent reviews cite wrong deliveries, which holds the score at a solid mid level. The interface is Vietnamese-only.

Features
6.8
Why this score

Online ordering, four delivery options (instant, 60-minute, 4-hour and 24-hour economy), Silver/Gold tiers, 1% points and a Tiền Dư balance. The sources reviewed show nothing that clearly outclasses other grocery apps.

Value for money
6.8
Why this score

Low, published delivery fees (0 to 15,000 VND within 3 km, free 4-hour and 24-hour delivery from 300,000 VND), no membership fee and 1% points. This review did not compare shelf prices with other chains, which keeps the score from going higher.

Performance
6.5
Why this score

The home page promises '2h delivery' but the delivery policy has no such option. Google Play's latest reviews include wrong-product deliveries and out-of-stock calls after hours of waiting, and no independent on-time delivery data was found.

Support
7.0
Why this score

A sales hotline (1900 1908) and a free complaints line (1800 1067), both 7:30-21:00, plus email and Zalo; staff reply to Google Play reviews the same day. Held back because some users report refused returns.

Privacy & security
6.0
Why this score

A full personal-data policy that spells out user rights, with a dedicated DPO email and a 48-hour response promise. Against that: it collects sensitive data (location, biometrics), shares within the group without naming companies, the App Store label lists tracking and the Google Play declaration does not match.
