If you're shipping to an Army Post Office, follow the instructions below to ensure your order arrives at its destination.
1. Write the first and last name of the recipient
Be sure to use your full legal name, as you must use the name you have on file with the military.
2. Designate where it’s being sent
You’ll want to select the proper unit or type of address it’s going to from the following list:
PSC (Postal Service Center)
CMR (Community Mail Room)
UMR (Unit Mail Room) or just Unit
RPO (Regional Post Office)
APO (Army Post Office)
OMDC (Official Mail Distribution Center)
3. Find the state designator
This will either be AA, AE, or AP:
AE is used for armed forces in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Canada.
AP is for the Pacific.
AA is the Americas, excluding Canada.
4. Find the exact address
Getting the address correct is crucial to ensure the package is delivered. Keep in mind the unit number, box number, and full name of the recipient are all correct. You don’t need to include the recipient’s rank in the shipping label.
5. Complete the address
The address should like the example below:
CPT John Doe
Unit 45013 Box 2666
USAG J
APO AP 96338
