Need help with this. I want to know if any department store, supermarket, or pharmacy sell these two specific items, preferably in the Santiago area. If not, maybe in the capital. Yes, I know there are probably other products similar to these from another company that would cost less, but I need these specific two.

Sending them in a small package from the states is too cost prohibitive, and I don't know of anyone who is flying out there anytime soon from NYC to take them on a plane for me.

I just need the info-the name and location of the store, the prices, and the exact size in ounces. For anyone who can do this for me I will reciprocate any way I can. If you need something from NYC, I'll be flying out there within the next two months and would be happy to bring whatever you need within reason (I will not be able to fit a blonde mail-order bride in a maleta, so that's out :p:p:p).

I recall having seen the brand here in a pharmacy if I remember correctly. *I?m pretty sure the larger chain pharmacies will have at least some options of this brand. *Ex. Farmacia Carol

I am pretty sure I've seen both products in the cosmetic area in La Sirena in Santiago, the one on the autopista. Perhaps somebody going to La Sirena can check it out.

Just in case. :)

$6.98 a jar is not that bad. IMOH

Thanks, but the price here in the states isn't the issue. I know how much it costs if I purchased them here. It's getting them to Santiago and avoiding the exorbitant shipping costs if for some reason this person cannot find them in Santiago or Santo Domingo.

I'm going to Supermercado Nacional this morning and will check there.
Will try to check Pola (La Sirena) after that.

Negative at Supermercado Nacional and Pola (La Sirena).

Using BMcargo to ship here I estimate $200-$250 pesos.
If you can hand deliver to the shipper.

One of each product (Total weight for both about 1 lb?).

Total weight for both items is under 2 lbs.

Is the shipping price of $200-$250 pesos the price from their base in Florida to the DR?

Yes, about $200 pesos per pound.

I tried searching for the Noxzema Deep Cleansing Cream Plus Moisturizers, that particular jar is VERY HARD to locate, tried Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Target, K-mart, Walgreen, general search.

It is the height of irony that for a people that are often accused of always looking for the easiest way out of anything possible, they have to make everything difficult for US.

Thanks for your efforts, SantiagoDR. Much appreciated.

Ask at the pharmacy Carol in Sosua, next to Pola. If they don't have it they will try to get it for you. Talk the lady in charge of the pharmacy, she is very helpful. Yes get it shipped via Business Mail is easy too, as others proposed. Take into consideration one pot lasts at least 4 months, divided the shipping costs by months...it is a nuisance of costs.
