I am not sure where I should put this but hope it's correct.
I am selling a steel to a member from Italy who has a friend with an APO address we will use for shipping. The address does not have a state but the member says one is not needed.
Will the Post Office accept this? Are there any size and weight restrictions and if so, what are they?
Thanks,
steve |

Yes the post office is very familiar with APO address. Thats a military address to a base somewhere. Stands for Army Post Office or Airforce Post Office.
Shouldn't have a problem at all. |

| APO stands for Army Post Office & FPO stands for Fleet Post Office. Basically they are a series of zip codes to ship to military sites around the world at domestic rates. Each zip has it's own restrictions & requires a customs form. At least that's the way it was before i retired from the USPS. |

steve, the post office web site (usps.com) can answer your questions. You could try a search there for 'APO' for example. Here's some info:

Good luck with your project. I'm glad to see people on this forum willing to ship out of the US.
