I am shipping a product that I sold on eBay, but the person that bought it is at Camp Liberty, Iraq
APO AE 09342, does that mean i have to pay full international rates for shipping through USPS(united states postal service), or do I pay Domestic Flat rate which is like $10.50 compared to international flat rate which is $45.50, so basically which one, international to Iraq or Domestic flat rate.If i am shipping to an APO do I have to pay international shipping rates?
Domestic rates. I had an APO address and my family paid domestic rates to send me mail.
It is domestic rates.
For your future business information, APOs / FPOs are classed as domestic mail/shipping. However, you still have to do a US Customs label for the package.
For an AE (Area Europe) address, the rates are to New York, where it goes to a large warehouse and is further subdivided based on the specific zip. The military then assumes the responsibility for moving it along to all the regions covered by the AE code - Europe, Central Asia, Africa, Middle East, etc.
The AP (Area Pacific) address is to San Francisco, where the above process happens for the Pacific and East Asia areas.
The AA (Area Americas) address is to Miami, where the above process is repeated for South America, Central America, some small parts of North America and parts of the Antarctic region.
If using an APO or FPO address, do NOT put the country where the troop is actually at in the address.If i am shipping to an APO do I have to pay international shipping rates?
Not sure what you are shipping ???
Hope you have been paid for it already...
You need to ship it in a Flat Rate Box..."America Supports You Box...
Free at the Post Office...and Fill out a US Customs Form Free at the Post Office...
You are only paying for shipping to the APO which is in the USA...
Watch out for the Restrictions of what you can ship...
APO = City
AE = State
Do not have to put a Country
You will need to fill out an international form, this can also help you track the S %26amp; H of the package, incase the buyer wants to claim he never got it.
However some mail clerks like to steal stuff out of some soldiers packages so be aware of this,If i am shipping to an APO do I have to pay international shipping rates?
domestic flat rate.. and the PO gives a small discount on the larger FR box to APO/FPO addresses.
HOWEVER.. still need to fill out a Customs form.
I'm in Iraq right now, and it's domestic. But all APO/DPO/FPO addresses are all US addresses. No need to worry.
