Amazon states the following considerations when shipping to APO, FPO, and DPO addresses:

  • Most items can ship to APO, FPO, and DPO addresses, except:

    • Cell phones and service
    • Computers
    • Standalone lithium batteries
    • Lithium batteries packed separately with equipment (products that come with lithium batteries installed are permitted for shipping to APO and FPO addresses)
    • Furniture
    • Outdoor living items
    • Prime Try Before You Buy items

     

    Some apparel, baby, camera and photo, electronics, health and personal care, housewares, jewelry, software, sports, and tools and hardware items cannot be shipped to APO, FPO, or DPO addresses. If you enter an address and the item isn’t eligible to be shipped to that address, an error message will appear at checkout. Check the product detail page of the item for eligibility.

    Set the City to APO, FPO, or DPO, set the State/Province/Region to AA, AE, or AP, and the Country/Region to United States when shipping to an APO, FPO, or DPO address. Standard Shipping Deliveries may take up to 21 business days for these addresses.

Amazon.com The superstore

Posted on by APO Helper

We all know by now that Amazon is the largest online supplier of goods and there is no denying that feeling of joy when we get a package from them at our local mail room.  Here at WhoShipsAPO.com, we’ve ordered a lot of packages and have never once been disappointed by Amazon themselves.  I will say that there are some sellers and stores on Amazon that simply drop-ship products from China and elsewhere which can cause a delay of anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks.  This happened recently to me and I was a little upset since the package had to be shipped form China to the states and then to my local APO mail room.

It’s a good idea to read the reviews of the products you’re looking to order first as they may give you a heads-up on this practice.  Generally though, the products are in stock at the Amazon warehouse and will be sent as quickly as possible.

I’ve written about this before (here) but for those in many other countries, there is always the option to use your local Amazon site.  The local Amazon sites will often times have the exact same products as Amazon USA and most can get them delivered right to your front door.  Don’t be intimidated by the use of those sites and you can usually just go to the settings in your existing account and choose a different country to order products from.

Additional information from the vendor for military addresses:
Delivery estimates are delivery times to the military mail system. At that point, the order is out of our hands, and delivery time to the final recipient can be influenced by many factors. We are therefore unable to provide tracking or a further time estimate. To avoid delays, when using an APO/FPO address, use “United States” as the country, regardless of the location of the recipient.
