Last time Cliff was over there, my mv club adopted his unit and sent stuff to him. We sent it in medium size boxes to reduce the possibility of them being so banged up due to size or weight and the handling problems that go with that. I think it was 6 boxes, about 15 pounds a box. We sent them regular mail to the APO address and they arrived just fine, but not all together. They were spread out over about three weeks if memory serves me correctly. I forget what it costs, but it was under a hundred bucks to ship. We packed everything as tight as possible and then filled in all of the empty spaces with packing so the boxes were tight and no rattle.
Hope that helps.

I've never shipped anything FPO before and any list member offer any suggestions on packing or how to ship? I thought I'd send a care package but I want to make sure it arrives useable. Do you send it Parcel Post or Airmail? Questions, Questions.
