I got a great list just from this thread


Well, I'm not in a lot of pain often and the only trouble sleeping is my due to my 9month old so the suggestions so far haven't been added to mine :)

I'm off to the US again in a few weeks. This time I'm looking at stocking up on some things I can buy from Amazon and have it delivered to a Amazon Locker near where I'm staying.

Kinda lost as to what I should get. I don't need anything but don't want to miss the opportunity again.

Be careful relying on Amazon lockers. I tried to get some items delivered in NYC and they were all booked out!

Why not order to wherever you're staying per David's advice above?

I'll be in Las Vegas, and I can nearly guarantee that they will hit me up for a "package handling fee" per package. I will attempt to get a locker, if not it'll probably be cheaper to just get a US freight forwarder than paying the hotel fees.

You're probably right, Vegas is definitely the place that has the most hidden fees

One of the best Shaving Creams in the world is made by a company called Nancy Boy out of SF.  They only ship inside the US and not internationally.   I always grab a couple as well as some for the people I've converted back home in SYD.

Nancy Boy, think I'll stick with Old Spice.

I also stop by the Jerky Outlet - much wider range than you get here. Customs rules mean you need to declare when coming home, customs guys here told me any beef is ok, but don't bring back any pork.
