Nothing. We were able to find everything that we needed. - Sep 2013
Organic and low-sodium shelf-stable products. Confectioner's sugar, if you like to bake. The powdered sugar here is too gritty for my taste. Vanilla extract (all they have here is powdered vanilla). - Jun 2013
More kid's clothes and shoes....very expensive, very poor quality. More toys and gifts for the same reason. Larger sized clothing for women is virtually nonexistent as most Macedonians are very thin and fit (I was quite depressed about my weight for a long time here!!). - Aug 2009
Things we shipped that we knew we would not find here: Mexican spices & other specifics we liked, blueberries (dried), spray Pam, favorite cereals (the selection here is slim), peanut butter, chocolate chips & other specific baking needs. - Mar 2009
Everything :( - Mar 2009
Paper products because the quality is low. Clothes--again low quality here. U.S. style mixes. And lots of baking supplies. There is constantly a function where you need to bring food or a bake sale. Also bring potluck dishware and entertaining stuff. - Jan 2009
