Nassau - Post Report Question and Answers
What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?
Artificial Christmas tree. Kayak. Stand Up Paddleboard. Tires. Desks / Bookshelves. Weight set. Scooter. - Nov 2015
More toilet paper and expendables. I probably would have shipped a pallet of canned/boxed food simply due to cost of buying locally. - Jun 2015
More UPSes. They are expensive here and you can't ship them DPO or pouch. Electricity quality is worse than I expected. One thing you can do is to make sure to save some weight from your HHE shipment and then do a supplemental shipment after you've been here about three months. Doing that allowed us to bring in a few items that we didn't realize we would be needing. Since the landlord supplies the furniture, what's in the house is less standard than most Foreign Service housing. - May 2015
Probably more paper goods. We shipped quite a bit, but we've run out and are ordering more rather than pay local prices. - Jan 2011
Non-perishable food. Food is really expensive here so bring as much as you can with you. - Mar 2010
More paper supplies (TP, paper plates, Bounty, etc) since these are very expensive here. But make sure you will have a place to store it before you ship it. - Feb 2009
Paper products, liquid laundry detergent, liquid fabric softener, special rice blends, Liptons Green Tea to Go (individual packets). - Dec 2008
