Military & Diplomatic Mail
You can ship care packages to military addresses at domestic prices, even if you're sending mail overseas. USPS can help you with: Free military shipping kits, addressing tips, and country-by-country guidance on what you can and can't send; Filling out customs forms (including more-detailed package descriptions now required for all countries); Scheduling free package pickup when your shipment is ready to go. Customs forms for all packages sent internationally now require more detailed item descriptions. Learn what you need to do. Free Shipping Supplies: No matter where your loved ones are, you can use free shipping supplies to brighten their day! Get Domestic Pricing: Ship to an APO/FPO/DPO and you'll pay domestic prices. Shipping Restrictions: Find out what you may ship internationally. Restrictions vary by country so review all guidelines carefully. Use Click-N-Ship for APO & FPO: Click-N-Ship service allows you to create Priority Mail International and Priority Mail Express International postage and address labels. When you send an international package through military and diplomatic mail, follow the destination country's restriction policies and include customs forms when necessary. Click-N-Ship will guide you through the customs forms process. U.S. Department of Defense employees sending packages to the U.S. from APO/FPO locations using Click-N-Ship may also use USPS Ground Advantage service. When shipping to the U.S., follow U.S. domestic restriction policies. Postmarks: If you want to ensure that your mail receives a postmark on the day you mail it, ask a retail associate at a Post Office retail counter to hand-cancel it for free. Get Free Boxes: You can order free Priority Mail APO/FPO Large Flat Rate Boxes online from The Postal Store, and your mail carrier will deliver them to right to your door at no charge. Military Guidelines & Country Regulations: Click-N-Ship will alert you to some of the prohibitions and restrictions based on the 5-digit Military Post Office ZIP Code you're shipping to, but you are responsible for ensuring your package complies with the laws and regulations of the U.S. and the destination country. You often need a customs form to ship overseas. Click-N-Ship will also let you know which customs forms you need. Anyone sending an international package with an APO, FPO, or MPO Zip Code in the return address needs to create a customs form online or fill out PS Form 2976-R before visiting a retail counter for the clerk to create the label. DPO Package Size Limits: If you're sending a package to a DPO location, make sure the item doesn't exceed these maximum dimensions: Length: 27 inches; Width: 14 inches; Height: 14 inches. Addressing Military & Diplomatic Mail: Each shipment to an APO/FPO/DPO needs the recipient's name, rank, and unit, and the APO/FPO/DPO address with the 9-digit ZIP Code. Always include a return address. Mail and shipments must be addressed to a specific person; addressing to 'Any Service Member' is no longer permitted. To prevent mail from entering foreign mail networks, do not include city or country names in APO/FPO/DPO shipping addresses. Schedule a Free Package Pickup: Print your own shipping and postage label at home. When your package is ready, schedule a free Package Pickup and your mail carrier will pick it up during normal business hours. Tips for Sending Military & Diplomatic Mail: Properly Prepare Your Shipment - Whether shipping to domestic or overseas military and diplomatic Post Offices, make sure you follow the guidelines for preparing your box or envelope correctly so it arrives on time. Learn about size and weight requirements, calculating postage, and dropping off your shipment. Tuck an Address Inside the Box - It's a good idea to include a second piece of paper with the address inside the box, just in case something happens to damage the label on the outside. Be sure to include both the destination address and your return address on the spare copy. Keep Temperature in Mind - Remember that outdoor conditions can affect the contents of your package. Desert temperatures typically exceed 100 degrees, which can damage delicate goods like electronics.
USPS Ground Advantage
USPS Ground Advantage® service is an affordable and reliable way to send packages inside the U.S. Ship to all 50 states, U.S. military bases, territories, possessions, and Freely Associated States. Ground Advantage is the primary option for sending hazardous materials (HAZMAT) that can't go by air. Prices start at $7.90 at a Post Office™ location. Ship online with Click-N-Ship® and get lower Commercial Rates. Businesses can get additional savings by opting in to the Business Rate Card. Ground Advantage packages are delivered in 2-5 days and USPS Tracking® service is included in the price. Our best-priced service applies to items up to 15.999 oz, based on weight (rounded up to 4 oz, 8 oz, 12 oz, and 15.999 oz) and zone (distance). Packages greater than 15.999 oz are charged by the pound up to 70 lbs (rounded up). Pay for postage using stamps, a self-service kiosk, Click-N-Ship, or at a Post Office. Includes forwarding, undeliverable as addressed (UAA), and return to sender (RTS) at no additional cost. USPS Label Delivery service allows shipping online even without a printer—for an extra $1.65 per label, USPS will print an outbound label and deliver it to you. Free Package Pickup is available at your home or office. $100 insurance is included (for both outbound and return shipments), and you can purchase up to $5,000 in additional coverage against loss or damage for merchandise. Ground Advantage is the primary option for sending hazardous materials (HAZMAT) that are only mailable using Ground Transportation. For businesses interested in getting negotiated pricing for USPS Ground Advantage, using USPS Ground Advantage Return to manage customer returns, or learning other ways USPS can power up your shipping and logistics, learn more about business options, or if you're ready now, get in touch with a USPS® specialist. Weight, Size, & Shape Requirements: Large First-Class Mail® envelopes that are more than 15" long, 12" high, or 3/4" thick, rigid (can't bend), or not uniformly thick (lumpy) will require Ground Advantage pricing. Price tiers for packages up to 15.999 oz are: up to 4 oz; up to 8 oz; up to 12 oz; and up to 15.999 oz. Items round up to the nearest tier. Items over 15.999 oz round up to 1 lb and pay pound-rate prices. Packages over 15.999 oz and up to 70 lbs have a maximum weight of 70 lbs. For items over 15.999 oz (which rounds up to 1 lb), rates are by the pound (lb), rounded up. Maximum combined length and girth (girth is the distance around the thickest part) is 130 inches. Additional Package Fees: Double-check your package measurements and contents as you'll pay additional fees if shipping a package that is large and lightweight, has a nonstandard size, shape, or material, or has perishable items. Dimensional (DIM) weight rates apply to large, lightweight packages. If your package is larger than 1 cubic foot (1,728 cubic inches), multiply Length x Width x Height and divide by 166 to get the DIM weight in pounds. If the DIM weight is greater than the actual package weight, you'll need to pay the DIM weight price. If you omit or give inaccurate dimensions and/or don't pay the DIM weight rate (when it applies), you'll pay a dimension-noncompliance fee. Nonstandard fees apply to sending packages that are harder for USPS to process. Fees vary based on length, volume, or characteristics: between 22 and 30 inches long add $4.50; more than 30 inches long add $10.00; more than 2 cubic feet (3,456 cubic inches) add $21.00; nonstandard shape or material add $4.00. Examples include cylindrical tubes or rolls, cans, wooden or metal boxes, containers with more than 24 ounces of liquid in glass or 1 gallon or more of liquid in metal or plastic containers, and other mailable items with contents that may shift. A Live Animal & Perishable Handling Fee of $7.50 applies to packages with live animals or other perishable items including food and plants. Mailing Restrictions & Prohibitions: There are specific regulations and standards for mailing restricted, prohibited, and hazardous materials, including cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. Shipping to a Military Post Office (APO/FPO/DPO) requires domestic prices but these destinations require a customs form and have specific restrictions.
