So...what have you bought on Amazon recently?

From reading post on this forum, it seems like everything I need is available in Doha. It also seems that people DO have to use Amazon or other online stores on occasion. I am curious as to what people need to send away for once they realize it isn't available (or very overpriced) in country. Spices, health and beauty, quality cookware, computer stuff all come to mind. It would be interesting to see what people want and need there. Thanks!

I just ordered from Amazon the new 80gb ipod classic. It's cheaper buying from amazon than the apple store since Amazon charge no tax for the item.

It is now in my aramex mailbox for shipment.

Photo stuff - lenses, filters, bags etc. Local Pentax "dealer" Salam doesn't carry a single Pentax camera in stock. They were not even aware they are Pentax reps for Qatar...

wi-fi color printer (scanner, phone, answering mashine, copier) was only $140 (+ QAR 400 shipping).

Shirts with french cuff (from Jos. A Bank, $20 a shirt on sale) - not available in Doha in general. 500GB LaCie external disk at $110, air humidifier at $25... the list can go on.

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.

Amazon ships only books and CD internationally. Use Aramex to get the stuff they ship only to US addresses.

Terramax, cheers for the info that Amazon won't ship your printer directly to you. I saw the price you paid for yours, and got all inspired to go look for one myself, but then saw I would have to use Aramex or something. Not that that's a bad thing, of course...

You can get so many Indian food ingredients across the street in Carrefour that I think I'll go shopping for an Indian cookbook. May as well learn to cook with what's readily available.
