Calling all APO/FPO Consultants...I have a brand New Consultant in Germany, and I was trying to set-up a mock show for her on my website so she could see how it worked first hand before purchasing...I'm setting it up with her info, and when I come to "City" it won't accept anything I enter. I know APO East is correct, but my question is, what would go in the "city" tab?
I know this is easy, but it has been years since I lived there (not to mention I could more coffee) so I have forgotten all the tricks of the trade! Thanks!:D
 
APO is the city...AE the state...


HTH!

It won't let me process it like that. That was my 1st instinct too. The State is "APO East" and when I try APO as the city it flags the show and won't let me process/post it. Any other suggestions?

I know when we were there we had use NYC, NY with APO zip to order from some online companies...
 
The city would be APO and the state would be APO East. That is how I set up all my shows here. It should let you do it. If your program will not let you do, I'm not sure what is wrong.

Everything changed from NY to AE around 1990. NY does still work if AE isn't an option. But as everyone said, as long as you have the correct zip, you should be able to enter APO as city and APO East as state.

Good luck!
 
My bad :)
I always used FPO for the city and AP for the state in Japan. That was almost 2 1/2 years ago though...........

Ok, I tried again, and dropped the 4 additional digits in the zip...that worked like a charm. Thanks for the help....it's been a long day! Thanks!
