+ 1 Receiving to an apo

Any military guys ever had success with ordering safely to an apo

I have sent to an apo some years ago .. it's been a while ..

RageE's picture

did you do any special packing I'm not sure to what extent they check packages coming into military bases and all it takes is for them to open it and I'd be screwed but I've heard I don't know for sure that they don't check the mail coming in plus its domestic so customs isn't involved I don't think

I packed it just like I pack all my packs .... tight .. and depending on the weight of the package a customs form does have to be filled out

RageE's picture

Yeah I'm guessing a few vials of test isn't going to be over the weight limit any word back from the guy saying he received it fine I know everything will get there fine I'm just worried about some dick opening it up

well I ve seen him around and he hasn't asked for his pack ;-)
I worry about that shit ALL the time

RageE's picture

Well that's good I hear of people shipping all the time to apo it's not as closely looked at as I thought it's just a little scary to me having the possibility of it being opened

You said APO so I'm assuming you're state side..

Why not just get a P.O. box off base....thats what I use to do when I was active duty. Never thought the risk of ordering to my barracks was a good idea when there are post offices and P.O. boxes in every town... Another option is if you got any buddies you trust that have off base housing.

It's not stateside and that's what I was thinking it being risky ordering to the barracks but I've never had to order to an apo before because I've always lived off base but now I'm going to SK and will be living in barracks. I wanted to see if anyone had firsthand experience with ordering to an apo/fpo because idk what the procedures are there as far as checking mail

When I was a lot younger I ordered superdrol to my fob in Afghanistan but it was a prohormone back then. It's still a risk though bro, I wouldnt personally reccomend it.

RageE's picture

Yeah I've also talked to guys that have worked the mail room before and they said they don't really care about what's coming in only going out but that don't mean if they see somethings on the xray they don't like doesn't mean they won't open it which I don't know if they xray it either I haven't gotten that far into detail either

RageE's picture

Yeah a lot of guys have said that lol I was thinking SK isn't a combat zone so I don't think they would be as strict on mail and as far as getting a PO off base in Korea the customs are a lot more strict than the US so that's a no go I was thinking it would be safer to order to the apo in small quantities or have my friend ship me some in a protein jug but if it's safe and they don't xray and ppe your mail frequently I would just think it would be easiest to ship it to me via apo lol

You best check the laws of SK tho. A long time ago a buddy of mine sent a half pound of herbs to a bro based in japan and cost him a year in a Japanese prison.

RageE's picture

Oh wow that's a little extreme sending that much through the mail but as far as the laws go I think they are very similar to the US they just banned aas in 2001 over there it was legal to buy at a pharmacy until then

Maybe do a small test order and ask for stealth shipping. Don't remember exactly who but I know there are a few sources on here that will do it for an extra fee...

RageE's picture

When you say stealth do you mean the sachets?

chc253's picture

That's one option if you have sterile vials to transfer it to but other sources will package 10x more disreatly for an extra fee. I would contact the source or sources you are considering via pm and discuss your delimma.

RageE's picture

Oh I didn't know that of course I never needed it but that would be great I don't really want to do the sachets. Do you know of a source that does stealth shipping I always use nappy gear but have never asked them

chc253's picture

Had my brother order it state side and then hide it in a care package that he then sent to me at the fob
...so that's another option for you

RageE's picture

Yeah I thought about that but I was wondering if they x Ray it if they can see it or what I would just like to be able to order it to my barracks without the labels I was just wanting to know if they open your pak and if they x Ray it on the base because technically it's still domestic shipping

RageE's picture

Like has anyone had their mail opened that's all I'm really worried about is it being opened once it gets to the apo
