HSmom Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 We have a friend in Kuwait to support this year. Plus we are supplying another 25 boxes of goodies. Mostly snacks and stuff. Dh went to the PO to mail the first box and was told they cannot go Parcel Post, and they must go "Priority" - to the tune of $25 each! Was this clerk wrong? Or is there something I don't get? We are mailing to an APO on the east coast. We have to include the customs form because it is going overseas. No insurance or other extras. Link to comment
WormGuy Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I would call a branch or the main office and see what they tell you. John Link to comment
PoGo Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 All the packages I’ve sent to APO’s via the USPS had to be sent Priority mail. The USPS now has military kits, which you can get for free. The kits contain an assortment of boxes and postage is priority mail, flat rate, to any APO in the world for $8.10, regardless of weight. Here are a few tips and such at the USPS website. http://www.usps.com/supportingourtroops/we...ge=troopsupport http://www.usps.com/communications/newsroo...d_2007_1023.htm http://www.usps.com/communications/newsroo...07/pr07_081.htm Link to comment
HSmom Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Dh went today, got the same clerk and said, "Hello, I'd like to send these Parcel Post, please." No problem what-so-ever. Link to comment
SueC Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 What is wrong with your Postal Service? Any parcel sent to our Defence Force personel that are serving overseas/in combat is sent for FREE! Link to comment
PoGo Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I'm guessing your free postage is actually paid with a portion of your taxes. Link to comment
