does it cost more to deliver to them? I had an ebayer message me if I deliver to APO address's. I haven't messaged him back yet as I have no idea what one is.

Yep, it's a military... pain in the ass too, since you can't put delivery confirmation on a package heading towards a military base.

No, it costs the same, however you have to stand in line at the post office and fill out a customs slip... and as I said before, you can't get DC on the package. I would pass unless you're desperate for a sale, its more hassle then its worth, espically since the buyer could chargeback at any time if you use Paypal, since without DC you're screwed.

I used Certified Mail for the one APO package I sent... sure it costs more, but it's worth it, I believe.

If you're sending a letter or documents. You don't have to stand in line. But if you're sending dvds, cds, games, etc... You have to stand in line. Definitely is a pain in the ass since most people hate waiting in the post office.
