What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?
Very little, we took advantage of the case lot order only once (when we first arrived) but never again. I'd Amazon some weird items occasionally because of brand loyalty, not because they didn't have what I needed. - Dec 2022
Nearly everything is available. Even things that tend to be hard to find overseas can be found here, although at higher cost, such as peanut butter, chocolate chips, tortillas, bagels, etc. There are specialty Asian markets, and I've heard of though haven't visited a Mexican market, etc. - Oct 2021
Nothing; just about everything is available locally. - Oct 2018

I would only ship things to save money, but you can get everything here. - Apr 2009
My kids would say more peanut butter, but I say nothing. - Mar 2008
