CBS has a good ordering and delivery system, but their stock keeping is pretty bad, as are of course all Bahamian retailers. At least one can see (more or less accurately) what is in stock. The selection is of course also extremely limited, but I don't see this improving anytime/ever. If you have time and want quality, there is unfortunately no reason to shop in the Bahamas. I understand stock keeping is expensive and paying 20% on top is fine (after duty&shipping), but retailers who want 50% to 100% more are delusional.
In terms of land registry the US is hardly something to compare to... it's about as bad as its ridiculous governance system that's being currently dismantled. You have to buy title insurance in the US in order to own real property. It's a land of men, not a land of laws.
