Astana - Post Report Question and Answers

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

We shipped alcohol, sauces, laundry detergent, American favorite staples (PB, pasta sauce, etc.), I shipped ethnic food items as well. The commissary is pretty bad, in my opinion, and expensive for them to ship items in(also, logistics issue due to the war). - Mar 2025
