I just went to the PO to ship an item valued at $3000.00 but they said you cannot get a signature confirmation for FPO addresses. Do any of you have any experience shipping expensive items to FPOs? Thanks!
Thanks love, but they didn't ask me to fill out a customs form. The items you ship to FPO addresses, are they valued over $250.00 also? This makes me so nervous
The zip code is California so I don't understand why I need to fill out a customs form but I will ask. Thanks again.

I have an APO address, and while I've known of some clerks saying that Delivery Confirmation and Signature conformation can't be used... And perhaps its not supposed to be... I also know it can be... I always use DC mailing to myself here. And I've signed for parcels with SC at the pick up counter here as well. After all, its a USPS branch post office.
You mentioned the zipcode being in California, Does the address say something like "Beale AFB, CA" or "FPO / APO, AP / AE / AA" then the zipcode? If its a military instillation IN the USA it does not need a customs form and it most definitely CAN use signature conformation, just as you could with a regular stateside PO Box.
Whether or not an over-seas APO / FPO box can use Signature or DC, depends on the clerk you get and it will require a customs form.
It says:
FPO AP 96387

This is really getting stressful. I just found out that even if I insure it for $3000, it's only insured until the PO hands it off to the military - after that it is not insured. So what the heck happens if it gets lost?
