While Amazon ships to Puerto Rico via USPS and UPS, Prime delivery windows are typically five to eight days rather than one to two, and some third-party Marketplace sellers list Puerto Rico as an excluded address. Checking the shipping details before purchase — and building slightly longer lead times into your planning — prevents frustrating delivery surprises.

Plaza Las Américas in nearby Hato Rey is the largest mall in the Caribbean and stocks the full range of US retail brands that Santurce's neighborhood shopping does not. Allocating a few hours there shortly after arrival to identify which stores are present — and noting any critical mainland retailers that are absent — helps you plan what to bring back from future mainland trips.

La Familia Casa de Empeño and similar secondhand shops in the Santurce and San Juan area are worth visiting when furnishing an apartment, as the expat turnover in the island's rental market means quality furniture, appliances, and electronics regularly enter the secondhand market. Facebook Marketplace groups for Puerto Rico are particularly active for apartment furnishing deals.
