Ok I did my due deligence and searches the forum under this topic. I still have questions. Why would you want to pay shipping fees on replacable stuff that you can order off the internet? Or is that not possible in Panama? I would rather buy new sheets that way instead of buying in US and then pay shipping on them. The same with pots and pans, etc. I understand something not replaceable like family photos, etc. I my self have a hobby which will probably cost me a fortune to ship but would hate to try and replace. Any thoughts for me? Any lady expats that sew please respond as I have a bedroom designated just for that purpose.
