There is a small possibility that we might be going to Naples Italy and I was wondering if I needed to get rid of all my books before I left or if I would still be able to swap while over there? Theresa |

My brother and SIL have an account here with an APO. They get a cute little icon thats a ribbon with an American flag pattern in it. |

Oh goodie! I was wondering the same thing. I'm moving to New york in October for one year, then we are off to England for 3 years and I wanted to keep my membership here, but didn't know if I could or not. |

You have to have conditions if you have an APO/FPO... to let the sender of a book know ahead of time. From the help:
Why do APO/FPO members have to have Requestor Conditions?Sending to APO/FPO addresses sometimes requires customs forms or a trip to the PO (there can be other restrictions as well). Senders may not wish to make the extra effort. Because of this APO/FPO members must have Requestor Conditions on their account.Requestor Conditions allow sending members to decline a request without penalty.
Our APO/FPO members need not be overly concerned that their requests will be declined.

Yep, I just had an APO order recently and they had requestor conditions because I needed to go to the P.O. and fill out a customs form. I usually use the APC after hours due to my work/kids schedule, but I did make the extra effort to get this one done. I expected it to take a while to be delivered, but it only took 3-4 business days. I used DC on the shipment, and the truck drove into the Atlantic ocean and disappeared, LOL! |

I am not certain, but I think that you only need to fill out the customs forms if the package/book weighs more than a pound. Maybe one of the USPO employees on here can clarify this for us, though. |

Crabby-doctor, I was told the exact same thing, by my local PO. Under a pound, no customs form needed. |

Theresa F. My sister is in La Madalana Italy since her husband is in the Navy. I hope you enjoy it if you go. We got a chance to visit Italy (with a tour of Naples) with them as our personal tour guides and it was WONDERFUL!!! My sister just joined PBS and as soon as she listed her 9 books she got 3 requests right away. Seems like especially if people where on a waiting list for a book they are fine with waiting just a bit longer for books to arrive to them from abroad. Plus it doesn't cost anything more to send to and APO/FPO address. I know the things I send to my sister are sent to NY first. I agree with the previous posters that many people will go out of their way to do something nice for those in the military. |

I'm glad to see that we can send to APO/FPO addresses, I will happily fill out the custom forms. I've had to fill them out in the past, and they really are not that complicated and only take a few minutes. I think I remember that at one time APO/FPO addresses couldn't be used here. If that was the case, then I'm glad to see that it was changed to allow them. |
