At Sohnne, we value our customers stationed around the world, including members of the U.S. Armed Forces, government officials, and diplomats. However, due to current shipping limitations, we are unable to deliver orders directly to APO, FPO, or DPO addresses.
What Are APO, FPO, and DPO Addresses?
APO, FPO, and DPO addresses are special U.S. mailing addresses used for:
APO (Army Post Office)—for Army or Air Force installations
FPO (Fleet Post Office) – for Navy installations and ships
DPO (Diplomatic Post Office) – for U.S. Embassy or Consulate personnel
These addresses are part of the United States Postal Service (USPS) network and are treated as domestic U.S. addresses, even if they’re physically located in other countries.
Why We Don’t Ship to APO/FPO/DPO Addresses
Sohnne currently partners with commercial couriers such as FedEx, UPS, and other third-party logistics providers that do not support delivery to APO, FPO, or DPO addresses.
Only USPS can process shipments to military and diplomatic addresses, and at this time, we do not utilize USPS for order fulfillment.
This means that if you enter an APO/FPO/DPO address at checkout, your order will not be processed or may be automatically canceled.
Alternative Shipping Solutions
If you're stationed overseas or need delivery to a military/diplomatic location, we recommend the following options:
1. Use a U.S.-Based Forwarding Address
You may ship your order to a family member, friend, or forwarding service within the continental United States. That party can then forward your package to your APO/FPO/DPO address via USPS or another provider that supports military mail.
Tip: Make sure the forwarding address accepts FedEx deliveries and can handle the size/weight of the product.
2. Use a Freight Forwarder or Mail Forwarding Service
Several reputable companies specialize in forwarding packages from the U.S. to international or military addresses. These services can receive your order from Sohnne and arrange the final leg of delivery through appropriate channels.
Some commonly used services include:
Shipito
Stackry
MyUS
APO Box
We recommend researching these services and choosing the one that best fits your needs.
