TL;DR
Fruit prices in Nha Trang’s tourist beachfront area can be heavily inflated: one traveler was charged 750,000 VND for 7 kg, while 4 mangoes elsewhere cost 90,000 VND. A safer option is to use a recommended fruit seller with packed delivery, and always confirm the per-kilo price before paying.
For takeaway fruit before a flight, travelers recommended a trusted seller who packed everything into a taped box that survived the trip well. Payment was accepted by bank transfer, and the order number shared was +84 94 943 19 21.
In the seafront tourist area near Sapphire on the first line, street fruit sellers may overcharge aggressively. One reported case was 750,000 VND for 7 kg of fruit, and the refund only happened after a serious confrontation.
As a rough price reference, 4 mangoes were bought elsewhere in Nha Trang for 90,000 VND. If your total is much higher than that, especially with a friendly Russian-speaking seller, ask for the per-kilo price before paying.
