Geneva - Post Report Question and Answers
What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?
We ship the kids favorite snacks for their comfort, Goldfish, Nutragrain bars, peanut butter, a few of their favorite cereals, chocolate chips, protéine bars etc, but they have plenty of options here. If you can bring your own oil and oil filters for oil changes that would save you a bundle with the mechanic. - Jun 2022
TV tables. When I was first in Switzerland, I missed Oreos. I never ate them in the States, but suspect it was childish wanting what I couldn't have. I still miss raisin bagels. - Jul 2018
If I didn't have access to DPO, I would have shipped more diapers, baby wipes, and American-style paper towels. Children's clothes/products are limited and expensive here so those without DPO often buy ahead or stock up when they visit the U.S. - Mar 2014
Affordable beef. - Mar 2014
Any items for children, as they are more expensive here. Buying birthday presents for your children's friends can run you broke. - Mar 2013
To save money, if you have room in your shipment, you might send dry things. But you can get anything you want here. I always bring maple syrup with me everywhere I go. But that's just me. - Feb 2012
I shipped items like paper towels, sponges, and small cleaning items; next time I would ship a really good broom and mop, since they are expensive here (70CHF). The American Store in Nyon and Geneva carries a pretty good selection of "home-food products," but plan on shipping Mac & Cheese, your favorite soup mixes, mexican food spices and BBQ kits. Also, if you have sensitive skin, ship your soaps or any skin creams. Cortizone cream is a prescription here. - Jul 2009
