St. Petersburg - Post Report Question and Answers
What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?
There's the standard "ship a lot of liquids": salsa, maple syrup, olive oil, peanut butter. You can find a lot here, but it will just be more expensive and may not be as tasty so why not ship a supply. There's a decent variety of Asian and Indian food supplies, less so for Mexican products. - Apr 2017
We shipped a bunch of personal preference items. But if you forget something, you'll probably be able to find it locally. - Feb 2016
You can buy almost anything here or online but if you want to plan ahead, ship winter clothes, sofa covers since you never know if you will have a lovely green, blue or beige sofa, kitchen appliances (crockpot, etc), typical American spices not found locally and baking supplies, ethnic items. Again, you can buy almost anything online that doesn't violate diplomatic pouch rules. - Aug 2011
