Care in Packaging your Shippment
The shipping box is designed for structural integrity to prevent damaged goods and we take strict care in packaging your purchase. Please inspect your merchandise upon receipt and report any damage immediately to us. Our statistics show that very rarely shipments are damaged through priority service. If by chance the box has been damaged causing subsequent damage to the product, please retain the shipping box for proper proof and contact us for immediate product replacement.
Shipping Fees
It is important to realize that the more you buy the less the shipping cost as a percentage of the total. This is because there are many items that don't add any or little additional charge for shipping. Many of the items are so light weight and compact so they don't incur extra freight amounts and we pass on the savings to our customers. Some of these are items as examples are the Door Flowers, Pacifier Thermometer or Medicine Feeder, Rattles, Booties, Bibs, etc. This means that a few more items added to your shopping cart should not add much more in the way of shipping fees. We pass on our established excellent freight contract rates to our customers.

Following these steps will ensure that you're charged the correct shipping amount and that your order will be delivered in a timely manner. When registering your address for payment on our site you will enter as your "bill to" information the same address within the U.S.A. where your credit card statement are mailed on the credit card you are using. Then enter the "ship to" adress of the overseas military location, including, if applicable: the Military Base name, Unit Number, Box Number, or USS Ship name. Enter as the city either APO or FPO. Enter as the state: AA (Armed Forces of Americas), AE (Armed Forces of Europe), AP (Armed Forces of Pacific). Enter your zip code. "AE" if the recipient is stationed in Europe, Canada, Africa, or the Middle East. Enter "AA" if the recipient is stationed in the Americas. Enter "AP" if the recipient is stationed in Asia or the Pacific. Regardless of where the recipient is stationed, select "United States" as the Country.
All shipments to APO/FPO addresses are sent via U.S. Priority or First Class Mail to the Army Post Office depot. The military handles the delivery once the packages arrive at the designated AA, AE or AP address, and from that point the delivery is subject to the military delivery schedules. We estimate 5 to 7 business days for delivery once the order has been shipped; however, some destinations may take up to 21 days. We automatically calculate your shipping charge which is the same as domestic U.S.A. rates. Once you have approved the total cost, including shipping charges, payment can be made. Certain oversized items cannot be shipped to these addresses.
