Address Guidelines

When entering your shipping information at checkout, please ensure you use the correct U.S. Military State Code:

• AA – Armed Services America

• AE – Armed Services Europe

• AP – Armed Services Pacific

Do not enter a domestic U.S. state name. If the military state code is incorrect, we may assume it's a domestic address and ship accordingly.

We verify all APO, FPO, and DPO addresses with USPS before shipping. Correct formatting ensures timely delivery.

Potential Delays

Please note that delivery delays may occur due to:

• Severe weather

• Service alerts

• Mechanical issues with transportation

• Routing errors

• Local disruptions in transit hubs

Remote APO, FPO, and DPO locations are more likely to experience delays. We recommend placing your order early and allowing a few extra days for delivery.
