Kuala Lumpur - Post Report Question and Answers

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

Baking goods. - May 2022


Nothing. I shipped natural laundry detergent and cleaning products and I shouldn't have bothered. We have access to lots of Australian products here in addition to American. - Aug 2018


None, as I enjoy exploring local food options. The only thing I miss that is a bit hard to find here are frozen pre-made meals. You can also find American brands of shampoos, conditioners, cleaning products, etc. If there's a particular niche product you can't live without, definitely bring that with you but major brands tend to be available. - May 2018


No need to ship anything, we have found everything here including holiday items. - Apr 2017


We found that most things we need are readily available. There is a KL Klubb-Lah Facebook group where people post to ask others where to find things if they need help sourcing something. - Apr 2017


Nothing I can think of. - May 2016


Books, clothes, gifts etc. - Aug 2013


If you have unique clothing size issues, remember this is an Asian country. If you seek U.S. products, these are also available in country, but can be costly. If you have a particular auto, maintenance can also be a factor. Thus, bring consumables, clothing, or essentials if you are not willing to compromise with the cost or local versions. - Aug 2011


More craft items for the kids. - May 2009


It is all here, but clothes and shoes are cheaper in U.S. Outdoor gear should be brought. Baby supplies are very expensive. Most electronics are more expensive here. - Mar 2009


Organic Peanut Butter. - May 2008
