Wellington - Post Report Question and Answers

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

I often use the DPO for household cleaners, powdered Tide, trash bags etc... because US products are better quality and cheaper. Pack your favorite sunscreen. You will need tons of it. - Jan 2021


Probably nothing. Amazon and DPO makes everything available. - Jun 2019


Everything that you actually need can be found locally, although your favorite brands will only sporadically be available. Pack heavy on your favorite American foods and staples, since they're not generally carried in Wellington. One supermarket chain, Countdown, does have an American foods section with Old El Paso taco shells and Aunt Jemima pancake mix. No syrup though, go figure. - Mar 2016


Heinz ketchup, Spaghetti sauce (local is sugary and almost tastes like sweet pickles), Eczema and allergy medicines, batteries (they cost a fortune there), dried goods and non-perishables you love. - Apr 2015


Buy towels, blankets, mats, sheets, and such before you come here. Quality is an issue here for the price. - Aug 2011
