Shipping to a U.S Military AddressUpdated 8 months ago

Addressing Military and Domestic Mail

Make sure you include the unit and box numbers for APO/FPO/DPO shipping addresses (if assigned). To prevent mail from entering foreign mail networks, do not include city or country names in APO/FPO/DPO shipping addresses.


Examples:


Army/Air Post Office (APO)

PFC JOHN DOE PSC 3 BOX 4120

APO AE 09021


Fleet Post Office (FPO)

SEAMAN JOSEPH SMITH

UNIT 100100 BOX 4120

FPO AP 96691


Diplomatic Post Office (DPO)

JOHN ADAMS

UNIT 8400 BOX 0000

DPO AE 09498-0048


Please note: We are not responsible for shipments once they have been delivered to the local USPS facility. Tracking information may not be available for shipments to APO/FPO boxes for security reasons. Shipments through the U.S. Military Post Office may have a longer transit time than is listed at checkout.
