Amazon.com The superstore

We all know by now that Amazon is the largest online supplier of goods and there is no denying that feeling of joy when we get a package from them at our local mail room.  Here at WhoShipsAPO.com, we’ve ordered a lot of packages and have never once been disappointed by Amazon themselves.  I will say that there are some sellers and stores on Amazon that simply drop-ship products from China and elsewhere which can cause a delay of anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks.  This happened recently to me and I was a little upset since the package had to be shipped form China to the states and then to my local APO mail room.

It’s a good idea to read the reviews of the products you’re looking to order first as they may give you a heads-up on this practice.  Generally though, the products are in stock at the Amazon warehouse and will be sent as quickly as possible.

I’ve written about this before (here) but for those in many other countries, there is always the option to use your local Amazon site.  The local Amazon sites will often times have the exact same products as Amazon USA and most can get them delivered right to your front door.  Don’t be intimidated by the use of those sites and you can usually just go to the settings in your existing account and choose a different country to order products from.

One of the best options that me and my family chose while stationed in Germany was signing up for Amazon Prime Germany (Amazon Deutschland – amazon.de). We found that many of the same products from Amazon United States Continue reading

3rd Party APO Shippers

Here at WhoShipsAPO.com, we realize that not all stores ship to APO/FPO/DPO addresses for one reason or another. There are several 3rd party shippers who accommodate our service men and women by acting as a middle man to accept those items and then forward them on to us at our APO, FPO, and DPO addresses. It is the only option available with those stores and websites that do not offer the shipping service. Continue reading
