Do you Ship to APO/FPO's?
Last Updated: 02/02/2009
Yes!  If shipping to an APO or FPO please use the following guidance:
  1. In the COUNTRY field select UNITED STATES
  2. In the CITY field type in "APO" or "FPO"
  3. In the STATE field select "AP" or "AE" or "AA"
The Department of Defense has issued the following guidelines for addressing mail to military and civilian personnel deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
  • Include the unit and APO/FPO (Air/Army Post Office or Fleet Post Office) address with the nine-digit ZIP Code™ (if one is assigned)
Examples:
Your APO/FPO address should like the examples below:

Example 1
SSGT Kevin Taylor
Unit 2050 Box 4190
APO AP 96278-2050
Example 2
SGT Robert Smith
PSC 802 Box 74
APO AE 09499-0074
Example 3
Seaman Joseph Doe
USCGC Hamilton
FPO AP 96667-3931
Example 4
SGT Jane Doe
CMR 1250
APO AA 09045-1000 

According to the Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA), depending on where the service member is located, shipments to Kuwait normally take 10 to 15 days. Delivery may also take longer when armed forces are on the move during periods of heightened activity.

The post office requires companies or individuals to hand deliver packages being sent to APO/FPO addresses. (This is one reason why many merchants won't ship to APO/FPO addresses.)
