Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Apo/fpo
Has anyone ever shipped APO/FPO? I'm not talking reptiles, just a package. I'm just wondering how much it costs when compared to domestic shipping.
Thanks!

When I sent packages to my brother stationed in S. Korea, I think it was just domestic postage as if it was going to someplace in the US.

It costs you what ever the price is to ship from our place to either the East Coast or West Coast (depending on what APO/FPO facility is used). If you send it overnight express, it will get to the outbound shipping facility over night, but thats it. From that point Uncle Sam picks it up and forwards it usually through one of the military mail systems. Mail can be sent overseas via Ship or aircraft and many times makes numerous stops.

Yes, seems like it was always east or west coast.
I also sent a couple of packages of books to my niece stationed in one of the biggest US camps in Iraq. It was very cheap to send them and I think they took a little over 2 weeks to get there using regular US airmail postage.

I believe that the east coast is NY City and maybe the west is San Fran, CA. Depending on the military command and the Zip, its sent through one of those places. Only issues we ever had with our FPO was sending out. Only one way out and it really didnt matter if you upgraded the delivery. If something was sent "parcel post" it took forever!

Yeah, I sent this package media mail (it was a couple of books) and packed it very well with the thought that it will take a while and will likely go through a lot of hands. I even had to fill out a customs sheet for it. I made sure to get insurance in case it doesn't even get delivered at all.
