Tashkent - Post Report Question and Answers

What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?

More laundry detergent, more canned beans. - Aug 2022


I wish I had brought more wine, haha! More mouthwash, maple syrup, and vinegar. Anything else that I've wanted or needed to replenish, I've been able to get via pouch. I brought plenty of shampoo/conditioner/body washes and peanut butter, and there's a decent Nutella alternative in the stores. - Sep 2018


It is a consumables post as of 2018. And there is a commissary for embassy families and other goods can be purchased via Ramstein (through the commissary), so you can get almost anything if you're willing to pay a hefty price. Lots of people shipped alcohol, peanut butter, salsa, and liquids like sauces and vinegar. Most other items can be received through Amazon orders. We brought 50 pounds of frozen cheese (cheddar, swiss, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, Parmesan,) and frozen meats in our luggage and just hoped they didn't lose that bag. - Aug 2018

Contact lenses solution, sun-creme. - Jun 2007
