How to Ship to APO/FPO/DPO Addresses

Filed Under: Shipping & Packaging

I’ve had several readers email asking about APO, FPO, and DPO shipping in their Silhouette or Cricut business. Great news: While it may be unfamiliar to you, it’s really simple.

FAQ About APO/FPO/DPO Shipping

Q: What is APO/FPO/DPO shipping?

A: This is the process for shipping to military members that are stationed overseas.

Q: What does APO/FPO/DPO stand for?

A: APO stands for Army/Air Post Office, FPO stands for Fleet Post Office, and DPO stands for Diplomatic Post Office.

Q: How much does it cost?

A: Shipping to an APO/FPO/DPO address costs the same amount as shipping within the US.

Q: How do I address the package?

A: You’ll use the address provided by your buyer, but it will generally look like this:

BUYER NAME
PSC 1 BOX 1111
APO AE 09021

Do not add any other information to the address.

Q: Do I have to fill out a customs form?

A: Yes, but it is short and easy to complete – taking a maximum of 30 seconds.

Q: Can I ship to an APO/FPO/DPO address from Etsy or Paypal?

A: Yes!

Q: Anything else to know?

A: Yes, when shipping to APO/FPO/DPO addresses through USPS, consider shipping Priority Mail over First Class Mail. Generally, First Class Mail will be sent by boat or ground and takes a really long time. However, Priority Mail is usually taken via plane and will arrive much faster. Additionally, there are special flat rate Priority Mail APO/FPO Flat Rate boxes you can pick up free from the USPS at this link.

That’s it – it’s just that simple to ship to a military member stationed outside of the US.
