APO/FPO/DPO shipping guide
🇺🇸 Good News for Resellers
Military addresses use USPS domestic rates—even when the recipient is overseas! APO/FPO/DPO addresses are treated as domestic US addresses.
📬 Address Types Explained
APO - Army Post Office
Used by US Army and Air Force personnel stationed overseas.
FPO - Fleet Post Office
Used by US Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard personnel.
DPO - Diplomatic Post Office
Used by US State Department employees at embassies and consulates.
📝 Address Format
Military addresses use a specific format. Here's how they look:
SGT JOHN SMITH
UNIT 1234 BOX 567
APO AE 09012-1234
UNIT 1234 BOX 567
APO AE 09012-1234
- AA = Armed Forces Americas (Central/South America)
- AE = Armed Forces Europe (Europe, Middle East, Africa)

⚠️ Important: Only USPS can deliver to APO/FPO/DPO addresses. UPS and FedEx cannot deliver directly—they can only get packages to a USPS facility.
💡 Tips for Resellers
- Always use USPS for military addresses
- Allow extra delivery time (7-14+ days is normal)
- Priority Mail is usually the best value
- Include customs forms for packages over 16oz
- Don't include the country name—just the APO/FPO/DPO and state code
- Military customers are often loyal repeat buyers!
