I'm a military mom and my son's POA. As such, I deal with the 'won't ship to APO' issue frequently. I am also a former mail clerk at an APO.

Every single package I've received for my son and forwarded because it couldn't be shipped to an APO was sent through UPS. Only USPS delivers to APO's. Lots of businesses ship exclusively through UPS or FedEx. Those businesses can't ship to an APO.

If the US Postal Service would be willing to accept packages from their competition and forward them to the APO/FPO address, the problem would be solved. I don't think it should be mandatory for the business owners to do business with USPS, but the government could change the regs for the US Post Office.
 
Yes, and they have every right to discriminate. I would hope they do. That is how they stay in business. This is their livelihood you are talking about. I own a P.O. box. I can't get a lot of things shipped there. Oh well. But I don't talk about having the government go to these people with guns and force them to act ship things to me.

All government action is backed by the force of guns. So you want to put guns in these people's faces, just so you can get some cookies online?

You probably can't get things sent to your PO Box because the Post Office won't allow competition from other shippers to deliver things to your PO Box. The Post Office is a monopoly and they loathe attempts at competition.
