What is wrong with Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada

I pay for Priority Mail shipping, which now is only a dollar or two more than Parcel, and I get it here in a week to 10 days. And actually, the USPS takes our mail as far as San Francisco via regular channels, and from there it's shipped commercial air (just like any other air mail) to our local APO hub, and then to the mail rooms. I have been sending to an APO for several years as my son's family is in Europe. I agree that the USPS service has been very good. They once lost a Jeep wheel for 3 months, but eventually it too made it to the destination. I see all kinds of companies that won't ship to an APO. I think they just don't want to deal with the customs forms. It can be a PITA. In spite of using USPS for years to ship to the same APO, about half the time I end up with the wrong form, and have to fill out another one after I get to the P.O. I even wrote to USPS to ask how I can tell for sure which form to use. Their very lengthy and convoluted answer didn't help a bit. It still ends up as a case-by-case basis on whether to use the short form or the long form. I can fully understand why people and companies don't want to ship to an APO. Dick |
