All too often, our customers that live on military bases ask if their orders can be shipped to APO and AE addresses. Lapel Pins Plus is always happy to tell them yes. Although the process starts out the same as our US shipping method, there is a slight variation as to how we get your custom merchandise to you.
From Our Factory to You
Initially, your personalized products are shipped the same way as domestic orders. They are sent via UPS directly from our factory. With U.S. orders, once the package is delivered to its recipient the process is complete. For overseas orders, there is one additional step we must take.
Instead of your items being sent directly to you, they are sent to our office. To ensure proper handling and timely receipt of your items, we contact USPS to arrange a pick-up. USPS gets the package from us and delivers it you at your APO or AE address.
Changes in Delivery Time
It is no surprise that overseas shipments take a little longer than their domestic counterparts. Every APO/AE is different regarding the delivery time. Therefore, it is difficult to set a standard. As a general guideline, we state that it can take an average of seven extra days for you to receive your shipment. Besides the extra time needed to ship your order, the handling required for this type of shipment incurs an additional fee.
The Cost of Shipping and Handling
The Shipping and Handling fee for overseas APO shipments depends on the size of the order. Our fee starts out as low as $36. The upside is that this is the only postage you will pay considering we offer free shipping to all US destinations. You are not paying for your order to come to our office but are paying the cost of getting the package from our office to you.
Our shipping fees and method of delivery are standard for all customized orders we fill. Call us today to at 1-800-252-0904 or email us with our inquiries at info@lapelpinsplus.com.
