As a company, we offer USPS Priority Mail as the standard shipping option for packages being sent to APO/AE addresses. This is the most cost-effective and reliable method for delivering packages to military personnel stationed overseas.
The address format for APO/AE addresses is slightly different than regular domestic addresses. Make sure to include the recipient's name, unit number, and box number in the address line. The city will be either APO (for Army and Air Force) or FPO (for Navy and Marine Corps), followed by the two-letter "state" code AE, AP, or AA. The zip code will be a five-digit number starting with 09.
Yes, packages being sent to APO/AE addresses have a weight limit of 70 pounds. This is due to the restrictions on military transport planes. If your package exceeds this weight limit, it may incur additional fees or be returned to the sender.
There are certain items that are restricted or prohibited from being sent to APO/AE addresses. These include hazardous materials, perishable items, and weapons. It is important to check with the military postal service and customs regulations before sending a package to ensure that your items are allowed.
The delivery time for packages being sent to APO/AE addresses can vary depending on the location and military operations. Typically, packages can take anywhere from 7-21 days to arrive, but it is best to allow for extra time to account for any potential delays. It is also recommended to send packages well in advance for holidays or special occasions.
