What should I pack when moving to Merida?

"When moving to Merida, it's important to pack comfortable clothing, such as shorts and t-shirts for warm weather as well as some warmer clothing for the cooler spring months and occasional cool nights. Make sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and other UV protective gear to help protect you from the sun. Bring some lightweight rain gear, such as a poncho and waterproof shoes, in case of a tropical rain shower. Pack your favorite books, music, and other forms of entertainment to help you settle in and get to know Merida. Consider bringing kitchen supplies such as pots, pans, and tableware, to help you fill your new home with the comforts of your own cooking. Finally, don't forget to bring along an open mind and sense of adventure to help you get the most out of your experience in Merida," remarked another expat who made the move to Merida, Mexico.

"My husband and I were told by the shipper that once we have a Merida address that our items will be shipped to our door within a few days. We have been here for almost a month and we have found that our items are still in Miami!! We were also told that our items cannot be sent from Miami until my husband gets his Temporary Resident card (which he applied for, but we have been told that it will take approximately a month to get it). Once he has the card, then they will schedule the items to be sent and it takes 10 days to go across the Gulf of Mexico and then a few days to go through Customs. So at this rate, we will be lucky if we have our items for the New Year and we have been in Mexico since October 27th. Please be warned about this and make sure that you get everything in writing. We did and we are still having issues. We wish we would have all our items that we shipped and have not found anything that we had wished we left yet," explained one expat living in Merida, Mexico.
