Having a deployed spouse or being stationed overseas both mean you are probably very familiar with the people at the post office.  Nothing raises spirits like receiving mail and packages.  But all those shipping costs can really add up (not to mention that filling out all those customs forms gets really tiring!).  Save yourself and your loved ones some shipping costs and try one of these companies who currently offer free shipping to APO/FPO addresses:

• Fairytale Brownies
• Autozone
• Cheryl&Co
• All Memory Foam (also gives 5% discount)
• Books A Million (minimum purchase)
• Poetry Gift
• Old Time Candy (minimum purchase)
• Circuit City (minimum purchase)

And about those customs forms?  Keep a stack at home and some pre-printed address labels handy.  You can save time AND money.
