A car will be fairly easy to find down here if you don't want to bring one down. There are always tons of used cars for sale whether from a dealer or people leaving the island.
Craigslist is good as long as you are wary and know how to spot the scammers, especially when it comes to housing. My wife and I found our place on craigslist. I was here for a week a couple months before we moved and made sure I met the owner in person and saw the place in person before committing to anything.
Amazon will honor free shipping on things that ship from their warehouse. Basically everything that says "free shipping on order over $35". The catch is you have to call them to get the free shipping. I get everything in my cart that I want to order and go right up to the submit order page. I then call their customer service and explain the situation that I live in the USVI and USPS rates are the same here as anywhere else in the states. They will have me submit the order and they will go in right away to take off the shipping charges. It makes ordering a few minutes longer but worth it.
