Juba - Post Report Question and Answers
What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?
Shipments and storage are limited, so it's not wise to ship a great deal. I would say primarily toiletries if you are wedded to certain brands, although there are decent alternatives locally. Cleaning and laundry services are provided, so there's no need to include any of those items. - Mar 2023
Coffee and tea are available in local stores, but both expensive, even for regional options. The US Embassy cafeteria has good cappuccinos, lattes, et al, but if you want to make coffee at home, bringing some is a good idea (coffeemakers are provided in each housing unit). The cafeteria is great, and I've found I need very little in terms of supplies from home. In terms of toiletries, cleaning products are available at the supermarkets and a limited but adequate and affordable supply of shampoo (Dove, Pantene, etc, are around USD$5), soap, body wash, etc, is available. There isn't much variety in terms of brands, though, so for specific needs/preferences, bring a supply with you. It's very rare to dress up in Juba, so beauty supply needs are very minimal. - Sep 2020
