Must read! Shipping to APO/FPO/DPO!!!!!

5 years later!

I'll add that many vendors do not ship to APO/PO box because they strictly use UPS/FedEx accounts for shipping, which didn't ship directly to those addresses through their normal programs. They do now however with their new SmartPost/Surepost services which hand off to the USPS for final delivery.

For businesses, USPS is usually more costly and tedious to deal with than UPS/FedEx. Not all vendors use them.

Glad you're home, and thank you for your service!

customs forms, is this also the customs office on base that I go to for gas rations?
I want to ship my car from US to k-town so I'm trying to learn and know all that I need to prepare this move.
