These are the Boxes to use to mail packages to Deployed Service Members. No matter what the post office tells ya, they send these boxes to any APO/FPO for $8.10, no matter what it weighs!
Some helpful hints;
Put each item in a Ziplock bag, each item, helps keep the cookies from tasteing like the Roll on Deodorant!
Pack Magazines on the bottom and the top and pack softer items to the Outside. These boxes ship very well but they do not receive Tender loving Care in route! Fill out the paper work before you get to the PO. Do not attempt to ship any glass containers or Spray cans (deodorant) they most times do not make the trip. Small games like chess and checkers, decks of cards are good non food items along with books of ANY kind, comics out of the paper, Magazines, no matter the issue Dates, are all good. Pictures of you and the Family, CD's, movies, OLD TV shows all this stuff is welcomed.
IF you decide to ship an item that is, like the one I shipped that contained PORK, DO NOT list that item on the Customs Form!

Best information I have found, and sent a lot of this stuff when Matt was deployed.

****,

You didn't mention that you can have the boxes (empty and flat) delivered to your door via USPS. Saves a trip to the post office. The link to order boxes is here. Free flat rate boxes
