Overseas Holiday Mail Tips from MATC Mail Room and USPS
October 22, 2007 | EditorTo ensure delivery of holiday cards and packages by December 25 to military APO/FPO addresses overseas and to international addresses, we suggest that mail be entered by the recommended mailing dates listed in the USPS Holiday Mailing Rates list (PDF: 24KB). Beat the last-minute rush, and take your mail to your U.S. Post Office by these suggested dates. And don’t forget you can print postage, labels and Customs forms online 24/7 using USPS Click-N-Ship® service online.
Remember, all mail addressed to military post offices overseas is subject to certain conditions or restrictions regarding content, preparation and handling. APO/FPO addresses generally require Customs forms. To see a table of active APO and FPO addresses and mailing restrictions by individual APO/FPO ZIP Codes™, go to the USPS website and click Postal Bulletins or go to the current issue and see the article Overseas Military Mail.
