How would she do it? She said she tried ( her PO Box) and it wouldn't work...
 
It shoudl work. I have never had a problem with it before.
 
Is she putting it all on the first address line? Or using two lines? This is how it should be:

ex: Jane Doe
PSC 2 Box 1234
APO, AE 09012

She should also be clicking the box for 'Ship to Customer'
