    Hee Hee!
    Forgot how much I miss ya'll. Crazy bunch! :p As Troy will tell you he loves getting packages/mail. Post office hint: Flat rate packages work the best.....you can stuff as much as you want in them to the APO addresses. I'm sure ya'll probably know that already. He's really fond of Cosmo and Allure....JK

    Be good!

    I might suggest that everyone send him a fruitcake.

    Please note that I'm not actually suggesting that, but merely stating that I MIGHT suggest that.

    :p for some reason (loose nut behind the keyboard) my note didnt go thru last night. BDT loves getting packages. Anyhow, a note on packages....ya'll probably know this already....flat rate boxes/envelopes are the way to go and they can go to APO addies. He really likes Cosmo and Allure for mags....just kidding.

    Take care,
    LW

    Thanks Wendi!

    Those flat rate boxes are the way to go. You can stuff whatever you want in the box, no matter the weight, it's still the same price. The FR box use to be something like $8.10? I'm not sure of the current rate as the postage went up, I believe it's about a buck more?

    Yes, they are $8.95 each,white box with blue writing...... although im sure it probably costs more to go overseas.

    You can also get flat rate envelopes for $4.50 each, for those of you that wanna send dirty pictures or mama's favorite fruitcake recipes.

    haha, not really, I just sell alot of crap on ebay and always overcharge the buyer enough to pay for the prepaid box cause I'm lazy.

    So when you get charged $8.95 to ship an ink cartridge, you know who sold it. :D

    The flat rate boxes come from the post office, correct. However; you are actually shipping the package to New York, and the military handles the mail from then on. Any APO/FPO addy is a US address. No need to pay for overseas postage. You will pay the same standard rate of $8.95 for the flat rate box with no matter what weight it is.

    Thanks for the correction. Never shipped anything to the military.

    BTW,

    Never put the words Iraq on the mail or box, always write US on the mail.

    I know it's common to put return addys on mail, but make it clear to whomever you are sending, to burn or destroy your return addy. Especially if the package is going to the middle east, it's for security reasons, better safe than sorry.

    I'm sure he stinks to high heaven on a daily basis so please send him baby wipes.

    Troy I've been busy lately so I'm sorry for this late reply. Remember, sunblock is your friend. Plus it will make your pillow smell better.

    TLW if your plans with FA fall through let us know. A few of us are travelling down 95 and we would love to have you as a travel partner.

    You guys rock, thanks!

    Yes, baby wipes are your friend over here.

    On any package, you will still have to fill out a customs form though, if I'm not mistaken.
