It depends. Shipping to APO / FPO / DPO (military / diplomatic mail) and P.O. Box addresses involves special postal handling and restrictions. Forwardme’s policies and carrier agreements may limit or prohibit such shipments.
Why Shipping to APO / FPO / P.O. Boxes is Challenging
- Carrier and postal rules: APO / FPO mail is handled by the U.S. Postal Service and military mail networks. Many private or international carriers (e.g. UPS, FedEx) don’t deliver directly to these addresses.
- Routing & customs complexity: APO / FPO shipments require proper military postal routing, customs handling, and documentation.
- Address format restrictions: APO / FPO addresses follow strict format (including unit, PSC, APO/FPO city/AE/AP, ZIP) and many systems may reject non-standard formats.
- P.O. Box limitations: Some carriers do not deliver to P.O. boxes (especially for large or international parcels).
