USPS offers domestic rates for sending packages to military addresses, even if the actual destination is a foreign country. This is because USPS® delivers the packages to the domestic military base, and the military then delivers the mail around the world. Note that this means it can take longer than normal for delivery.

When shipping to military addresses, make sure you include the unit and box numbers (if assigned). To prevent the packages from entering foreign mail networks, do not include city or country names in APO, FPO, and DPO shipping addresses; those three-letter designators should be entered in the City field, and AA, AE, or AP should be entered in the State field.

The proper format to enter a military address is: 

• Name - First and Last
• Address Line 1 - Unit and Box numbers
• Address Line 2 - Usually not needed, but if the address includes an FOB (Forward Operating Base) it can be put here
• City - APO (Army Post Office)/FPO (Fleet Post Office)/DPO (Diplomatic Post Office)
• State - AA (Armed Forces Americas)/AE (Armed Forces Europe)/AP (Armed Forces Pacific)
• Zip Code
• Country - United States

Example:

First, Last Name

Unit 1 Box 1000

APO, AE 09898 United States

This is an example how it would look like in our Check Our Page

*Note: Please keep in mind that our system does not allow you to enter the State Code ("AA, AE & AP.") Simply write this code next to the City Code ("APO, FPO & DPO"). On the Shipping Label, the address will be changed to reflect the correct format.

*Any State on the "State Box" works.
