APO, FPO, and DPO Addresses

Having trouble entering an APO, FPO, or DPO address on our order form? Following these steps should help:

* City field: Enter "APO,""FPO," or "DPO."
* State/Province/Region field: Enter the two-letter code for the region where the recipient is stationed. Typically, but not always, the code is "AE" for recipients stationed in Europe, Canada, Africa, or the Middle East; "AA" for recipients stationed in the Americas; and "AP" for recipients stationed in Asia or the Pacific.
* Country field: Always select "United States" from the drop-down menu regardless of where the recipient is stationed.

Following these steps will ensure that you're charged the correct shipping amount and that your order will be delivered in a timely fashion. All shipments to APO, FPO, DPO addresses are sent via U.S. Priority or First Class Mail. We estimate 5 to 7 business days for delivery once the order has been shipped; however, some destinations may take up to 21 days.

Please note that the following items cannot be shipped to APO, FPO, or DPO addresses: Apparel, some oversized Baby items, camera and photo items, cell phones and service, computers, most electronics items, hardware, housewares, kitchen items, outdoor living items, software (including games), and tools. If you try to order an item that can't be shipped to an APO, FPO, or DPO address, an error message will appear at checkout. Check the item's detail page for eligibility.
Guam and U.S. Protectorates/Insular Areas

Having trouble entering an address for Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands (U.S.), Guam, American Samoa, Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, or Federated States of Micronesia? Following these steps should help:

* Country field: Select "United States."
* ZIP Code field: Always double-check for the correct ZIP code.

Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) Addresses

If you're a private mailbox holder (use a local commercial mail receiving agency), do not use "Box" for your mailbox number; instead, use # or PMB. This will help make sure that your address is not mistaken for a P.O. Box, and that orders can ship to you via means other than the U.S. Postal Service.
