How do you ship items to APO, AE (military) addresses?

Yes, you still need a customs form because some countries have restrictions on what can be sent (received) through the mail. This is not to say you're sending anything restricted, but you must do it, anyway, for the Post Office. The customs form doesn't need to go in a clear envelope.\n\nThe reason they chose priority mail is that it gets to the US ports more quickly. In addition, mail marked with a priority sticker gets "first dibs" for going on the military cargo planes from the US ports over to the country where the servicemember is. Non-priority mail must wait until all priority mail is on; then if there is space, it will go on the plane. If not, it must wait for the next available military cargo plane.\n\nTo the above person, no, the APO is not located where the servicemember is stationed. The APO (or FPO) is a "gatekeeper" for all overseas military mail and is at the U.S. city designated for all overseas military mail going to a given region. If the person's address is APO, AE, for example, the mail goes to New York City and then to their specific location overseas. (AE is for Armed Forces Europe, but usually deployed personnel have an AE address, too.  AA is Miami and covers everyone in the Armed Forces Americas, and AP is San Francisco and covers the Armed Forces Pacific.)  The actual physical address of the servicemember is never the APO or FPO address. The APO or FPO just says the area in which they are stationed, which determines from which U.S, posrt their mail will leave the country.

I just found a GREAT website to let you do just that.  See below so you can just click on it.  I applaud you and everyone else that sends mail to them.  Actually, I found 2 sites.  \n\nGOD BLESS THE USA AND OUR TROOPS ABROAD!

Mail gets to either San Francisco or New York(depending on whether its AP or AE) via the USPS, then the military takes over all aspects.  letters and smaller packages will get there sooner than large or very heavy packages due to space and weight limitations.  Priority only get its to NY/SF faster, after that, it's entirely dependant on th eavailability of AMC.  Don't spend the money for Priority unless it s a very small difference between that at regualr postage rates.  \n\nIt's also a good idea to number letters, just in case they  don't get delivered in order...

go to a military post, and go to the supply room, for one of the companies and ask them to get you it. I used to be in supply for the army and we dealt with a lot of files like that. Or if you have an AKO account then u should beable to get it from there

The Postal Service usually posts an up-to-date list in the lobby of most Post Offices.\n\nOne of my sons is currently serving there.  His Commander has ordered that the rank of the soldier should not be listed on all letters and packages, just use the soldier’s name.\n\nOne good place to visit is the first site below for additional links on other packages and info.  The second site was set up for Troops in Iraq, but still has useful information.  While in Iraq during his last tour of Duty, my son said that sunscreen and “macho” lip balm were two items usually in request.  Beanie Babies (even “used ones,” to give to children) were other hot items.

The military will only ship to your Home of Record.  I, honestly, don't know if that applies to family members in cases such as yours.  Your best bet is to contact the transportation office.

Mostly by air mail, and then through the carriers of course. If you have a tracking number on an insured item, any Post Office can track the package on their computer.

Unfortunately the only way to obtain them is to call them and ask them to send them to you.  They may ask for a self address envelope.

APO postage is the same as US Postage.  If you are mailing directly to Iraq, it would be different.  My son was in Iraq and Japan and both places had APO addresses and we just used the normal postage.

The Postal Service website will have that available for you.  Postage is determine by the destination country.  Select destination country and the weight and size.  It will then give you the options available for shipping including airmail.
