I block APO/FPO but I just got an order from a DPO, is that different?

Is DPO not blocked with APO/FPO? Is there anyway to block DPO?

Possibly because it can be difficult to get delivery confirmation?

In some cases yes tracking can be delayed. However these are front line types of APO's 

I not only sell to APO/FPO/DPO locations I also send care packages to troops through www.booksforsoldiers.com (note there is some trouble with the webpage currently but you can get access through their facebook page). I have shipped hundreds of packages over the last decade and even had several following a unit on the move and arriving. I did get a confirmation on that one a couple weeks after actual delivery.  That was a care package. I have never had much of a delay with eBay sales.

"They can buy from me anytime... including the DPO - Diplomatic Post Office. As already noted - this could be interesting for you..."

I was amused several years ago when I sold some US flags (listing details stated that they were made in China!) and shipped them to a DPO address in Brazil … I ended up donating most of that lot because they just didn't sell … US buyers didn't want made in China flags …

I also agree that all American sellers should honor our service people and make the little extra effort to ship to APO, FPO and DPO addresses

I agree, I don't understand. Military men and women are putting their lives on the line to save you - but they are not worthy to buy something from you? APO/FPO addresses are US based... They can buy from me anytime... including the DPO - Diplomatic Post Office. As already noted - this could be interesting for you... 🙂 If you don't want these customers -please send them to me.

I have nothing against the military but I don't ship anywhere that doesn't have confirmed delivery, nor should I be required to ship to them.  If they want packages then the post office should put in the effort to confirm delivery and not be lazy and unreliable. If i'm running my own business I can decide where to ship and I have decided I will only ship to addresses where i'm protected, that is my right living in a free country.

I don't have to lose money on lost packages just because they are in the military. I don't run a business to give out donations.

Be honest, you don't ship to military addresses because you're ignorant of how it works, or you're just plain unpatriotic
