  • We support many military non profit organizations from the profits we generate!  Many of our contributions have got to purchasing phone cards though the VFW's "Operation Uplink", supported USO events, DoDEA School activities, and local base booster clubs!

  • We are a major supporter of National Military Appreciation Month celebrated each month of May!

  • Over 50,000 military shoppers use Shop APO FPO.com each month - visit us and you'll know why.

Shop APO FPO.com is the longest running online shopping directory serving Americans who serve overseas. Owned and operated by a military family, we're very familiar with the challenges you face when shopping the Internet from abroad. Our mission is to insure you have the widest selection of quality merchants to shop from and the confidence that they'll deliver to Army Post Office (APO) & Fleet Post Office (FPO) destinations. 

 

We contact all retailers prior to listing them to ensure their shipping policy is within the scope of this directory.  Unfortunately, some retailers later change their shipping policy without notifying us.  If you find such a retailer, please let us know so we can take them off our site. 

We believe you shouldn't pay third party shipping services to support a retailer who doesn't value you as a customer just because you have an APO/FPO address.  We also recognize that there are times when unique, hard to find items (car, computer, & appliance parts) are not found from a vendor on our website.  Because of this, Shop APO FPO.com also offers free product search and APO/FPO forwarding on a limited case by case basis.  If you have difficulty locating that certain website, please contact us with our request.  In many cases, we're able to work an agreement between you and the retailer or forward the package to a specific APO/FPO address at no additional charge.

We Donate our profits!  We support the many non-profit military organizations that support you through donations or in partnership with many of our merchants. It's our way of returning your support while serving overseas. During special times of the year, a portion of our commissions are donated to military related organizations and/or events not supported by MWR or other appropriated and non-appropriated funds.  Organizations we've contributed to in the past include the VFW, USO, DoDEA School youth activities, Direct Service Scouting and local military booster organizations.  If your organization would like to be considered for future contributions, please Contact us for more details. 

If you're interested in reaching thousands of Americans serving overseas with your products, contact us  for details and rates.  Shop APO FPO.com is advertised in many military base newspapers, magazines and other media.

Shop APO FPO.com will NOT add links to retailers who sell or distribute:  Pornographic Material, Illegal Drugs and Paraphernalia, Multi Level Marketing products and services or items that violate US Postal Service and/or Military Postal Service regulations.

Shop APO FPO.com DOES NOT SPAM (unsolicited email), does not sell or give out e-mail addresses nor will we tolerate spamming from any of our merchants!  If you find a merchant is using these annoying marketing tactics, please let us know and we will remove them!

What is an APO/FPO address?   From the USPS Handbook PO-630; "Post Offices Serving DOD Installations":  "APO/FPO Mail - domestic mail and international mail that bears a U.S. military delivery address or return address and that, in some stage of its transmission, is in the possession of the Department of Defense . This is mail that is being sent to or received from military installations located outside the Continental United States (CONUS). This mail may be official or personal in nature. This mail is centralized at certain locations such as San Francisco and New York for transport overseas..."

Question: What is the proper format for a military address?

Answer: Instead of a city and state, these addresses use APO (Army Post Office) or FPO (Fleet Post Office), along with "AE" (mail going to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and portions of Canada), "AP" (the Pacific) and "AA" (for the Americas and portions of Canada). Therefore, the bottom line of overseas military addresses is: APO or FPO; followed by AE, AP, or AA; and then the ZIP Code.

We hope this site is a valuable resource for you and helping you find those items you can't get locally.  Sometimes merchants change their policy on shipping and don't notify us.  When you find a merchant on this site longer supports APO/FPO shipping, or appears to have excessive shipping charges,  please let us know by sending us an e-mail.  We will contact them and try to resolve the matter or remove them.  

FEEDBACK is always welcome!  We really want to know how we're doing and what we can do to make this site the best shopping resource for you!

Thank you for shopping with Shop APO FPO.com!
