2011 Christmas Mail Dates for APO Addresses

Posted on November 30th, 2011 by Stacey

Time to get those Christmas packages in the mail if you’re sending to an APO address. These are the absolute latest dates you can send your package overseas to “ensure” a holiday delivery in time for Christmas. I ALWAYS recommend sending priority mail through the U.S. Post Office. For me, it was always quicker and almost always cheaper too, especially if I could use the flat rate boxes.

Destination Express 1st Class Priority
APO/FPO/DPO AE 090-092 17 Dec 10 Dec 10 Dec
APO/FPO/DPO AE 093 N/A 03 Dec 03 Dec
APO/FPO/DPO AE 094-098 17 Dec 10 Dec 10 Dec
APO/FPO/DPO AA 340 17 Dec 10 Dec 10 Dec
APO/FPO/DPO AP 962-966 17 Dec 10 Dec 10 Dec

The deadline is only a few days away unless you want to really pay a fortune to send it express mail (which you can’t do for Afghanistan). Remember, if your soldier is in Iraq, the stop mail date has already come and gone as they are preparing to redeploy before the end of the year.

Finish up your last minute preparations and get those packages in the mail!

    If I mailed to Bagram today, is it possible it will arrive before the 25th. It usually takes 8 days, as I mail every week.

    Or, as I missed the Dec 3rd deadline, it’s not possible?

    Thx

    The deadline is the day they guarantee that if you mail it by, it will arrive by Christmas. Try priority mail and cross your fingers. ;) My packages generally took 7 days if I sent by priority no matter when I sent them.
