APO AE question

Postby mulkeyOWNS » Sun Feb 27, 2011 1:28 am

I'm going to begin this letting you guys know how satisfied I was with how fast you got my order out. I haven't received it yet, as I only ordered it last night, but it was shipped within an hour of placing my order, which is amazing.

In that, I was wondering if you have any guidance as to how long it takes to ship products to APO AE addresses. I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan, and I'd love it if your product doesn't take 1-2 months like most companies take.

I'd appreciate any feedback on the matter, since I'm always moving between different FOBs, and I'd like to know when I should expect my order to get here.

Thanks!

I don't know the average time to Afghanistan, but I believe someone just said it took about a week to week and a half to get their order shipped to an APO in Germany.

I am not sure though, I dont see to many people posting about shipping times to APOs.

Hopefully someone else that has had an order shipped over seas can jump on and answer a bit better for you.

As of now, it still says it's en-route to the destination since the 26th. I'm highly anticipating it getting here. I'm sure it probably won't arrive for another week, but I can't wait haha.

Well Mail from here in Germany to Down range (Depending on the FOB) is taking any where from 7 to ten days.

So take that and add about a week and a half to it.

I'd say two to three weeks. Though it could be sooner. But I would give it at least that.

Once it reaches the APO address in New York, it's up to military logistics to get it to you.

I would suggest not posting wrong information if you're going to try and help someone out. Hawaii has an APO address too. I would highly believe that they would ship it out from there as opposed to New York.

(No disrespect, just sayin)

Nope, you're right. I was only stationed east of the Atlantic, so it was always New York!

Still, once the mail is in the military's hands, it's up to them to get it to its destination.

I just wanted to update you guys on my experience with shipping through FedEx to Harwood, MD. I ordered the Magma kit two days ago, along with several batteries, atty's, juices, carts, and pretty much everything else I'll ever need to quit this expensive habit all together. All in all, the shipping was exponential compared to USPS. I ordered it on the 1st of March, and it arrived to my local post office on the 3rd of March. Definately as many thumbs up as I can give for speed, you really live up to your "2 day shipping" standard. Thanks!
