What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?
Since you can't ship fresh produce, nothing really. - Apr 2017
Maybe summer clothes because they are really expensive here, but you can order from any online retailer at US price shipping. Any specialty organic items you can't live without or oils. Other than that you really can find anything you need or have it shipped in. - Nov 2015

WWe love our bouncy house that we bought at the last minute before coming. We use it indoors! For about 4 months of the year, it’s too hot to go outside so the kids and their friends really enjoy it. Many families have trampolines in the backyard, which also get a lot of use. In the compounds the kids all ride bikes, tricycles, scooters, etc. Pool gear will also get use. - Sep 2012
Really, can't think of a thing. Everything is available here. If you havea favorite product that you can't live without, you'll probably find it here, but it will be double the price. Stock up at home. - Apr 2010
Not much. I order through APO as long as I don't need something immediately. We are allowed to shop at the NEX, too. You can get everything here, but it just costs more. - Jun 2009
Nothing, everything is readily available plus more variety because of the many different nationalities. - Dec 2008
It is difficult to say. The things that I would ship are perishable. Either they are too expensive here, or they don't have them. I miss a good piece of beef, I miss Dole spinach in a bag, I miss good salads, I'd kill for mozzarella that I could afford to eat. - Aug 2008
