Are you ordering from an APO, FPO, or DPO address? Your address must be formatted correctly.

If it isn't, your package could be delayed or order may be canceled.

Format your military address correctly

When adding your shipping address, follow these guidelines: 

1. Use English characters only

Replace any non-English characters with the closest English equivalent. 

Special characters may prevent our system from recognizing your address.

2. Enter your full name

Include both your first and last name. Some carriers require both to process shipment. 

Seller tip: If you’re shipping to an APO/FPO/DPO address, both the recipient name and sender name must include a first and last name. Even if you’re using a business name. Also make sure each name field is more than 1 character.

3. Use the correct city, state, and country

Your address must include:

  • City: APO, FPO, or DPO

  • State: AP, AE, or AA

  • Country: United States

  • ZIP code: Your assigned military ZIP code

  • Unit, PSC, or Box number: Enter this in the appropriate address line

Do not enter your base name or overseas country in the city field.

Example format: 

  • Name: Jordan Smith
  • Address Line 1: PSC 123 
  • Address Line 2: Box 4567
  • City: APO
  • State: AE
  • ZIP Code: 09012
  • Country code: United States

4. Double-check before checkout

Before placing an order, confirm:

  • City is APO, FPO, or DPO

  • State is AP, AE, or AA

  • ZIP code matches your assigned military ZIP

  • All unit or box numbers are included

Tip: Review USPS military address guidelines to confirm your address will be accepted.
