Shipping Gifts to APO/FPO/DPO

The U.S. Postal Service is expecting to process more than 6.2 million pounds of mail for APO/FPO/DPO destinations this holiday season.

To send packages to loved ones serving in the military abroad, the Postal Service offers a discount on its Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box.

The $17.40 price includes a $1.50 per box discount for mail sent to APO/FPO/DPO destinations worldwide.

Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes are available at no cost at local Post Offices, or can be ordered online at usps.com/freeboxes.

Postage, labels, and customs forms can be printed online anytime using Click-N-Ship at usps.com/ship.

To help with timely delivery of holiday wishes by December 25, cards and packages to military addresses overseas should be sent no later than:

December 11 - First-Class Mail and Priority Mail
December 18 - Priority Mail Express

 
The Postal Service is proud to employ more than 100,000 veterans, including 2,000 in the South Florida District, and understands the importance of sending packages to military and diplomatic members serving abroad, especially during the holidays.
