Hmmmm...

And, the U.S. Postal Rates are going up again in January.

Original post:

So, it costs $58.00 to mail a 36 lb. box from Cola, SC to STJ Connections 

via USPS priority mail. It got there in 3 days. It costs $161.00 to mail a 33 lb. box 

priority mail from PostNet (formerly the Mail Center) from STJ to Cola, SC. 

I am still trying to undertand why the triple charge to mail it back. We opted for 

parcel post which was $52.00, mailed it back from STJ on 8/4 and are still 

waiting for it to arrive. Just a heads up if anyone takes this route. 

Guess we should have taken it directly to Cruz Bay USPS and mailed it out. 

Reply:

Yes sooooo much cheaper to mail it directly from the PO. Just a heads up 

it takes 8-12 weeks for a package to arrive on STJ when mailed from the 

States via Parcel Post but have no idea how long it takes to arrive when 

mailed from this end. 

No-See-Um's comments:

Let's see. The Mail Center has to accept responsibility for your box, 

pay someone to haul it to town, find a parking spot, mail it for you, 

and keep adequate records and receipts.  And the last time I checked, 

they were not a non-profit organization. And yes, the person who 

replied is correct, to a degree:  Parcel Post takes four to six weeks 

coming to St. John, not eight to twelve weeks. But, let me not be petty.

The first person in line was 18, the second person in line was 33, and the last person in line was 44. Does this make any sense? 

I am thankful for forum posts like this. Wrong island, try again.

St. John's with Babies 

I will be traveling to St. John's in Dec. with my 2 kids (1 year and 2 1/2 years). My very nice brother is renting a house for the whole family but I am feeling very anxious about what we will need to bring and what we should buy. The only other place we've been to was the Bitter End in the BVI and there were no easily accessible stores. With new airline surcharges for bringing anything, we need to pack lightly. So here are my questions: 1)Does St. John's have grocery store with diapers, Enfamil, etc. 2)Will there be a place to buy/rent cheap sand toys, beach umbrella/shelter.

Hi Katy, this is the St Johns Antigua board - you need to post your question on the US Virgin Islands St John board

For Thanksgiving, I am thankful that this Jeep didn't hit the front of my car.

Apologies! This got buried in my draft folder.

I'd like to buy a "t" please.

Oh, my! Martha Stewart would kick your ass.

I missed this memo. Today, red means go. This is starting to get ridiculous.

Just like green light means stop, no means yes.

Look familiar? This is Pastory Gardens.

Caution! Green light means stop.

Joy! "AIR CONDITION" spotted on St. Thomas. Added bonus: "MECANIC."

Argh. "All Vehicle Engine?"

Repeat after me: "driveway." It's a compound word.

Is this fucking rain finally going away? Or, as Bronc said, "At what point does The Westin just wash into the bay?"

Goodness, what is this stuff running down from the fire station? Like all of the rain isn't bad enough.

A river runs through it. Again.

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Being a Midwife in St Thomas  September 04, 2010 12:34PM

Wow I've finally found a message board where posts are still in date! Thank you!

Anyway... my question is this...

I am relocating to St Thomas as I have family already living there, and Im currently 

studying a Degree in Midwifery in the UK. I would love to carry on my dream of being 

a Midwife in St Thomas but know that it's going to be very hard to persue this as my 

UK qualification wont do...so what do I need to do once Im in St Thomas to start my

journey to becoming a Certified Professional Midwife? I want to specialise in Homebirths 

(even birth centre), antenatal classes, and newborn care...possibly with adolescent parents to be.

Could someone give me some valid info that I need, as much info as possible please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Your time is much appreciated : )

I can not wait to relocate(wont be for 5 yrs ish yet) but dont want anything to get in the way 

of having my dream career and caring for pregnant mums and thier newborns.
