Me and several friends have put together several care packages for Aaron and some of his fellow comrads, what I need is everyone who is able to donate a buck or two to get this shipped out, It costs a fortune to send and I need help to get it sent, Im going to send it the end of the week, to give everyone in here a chance to send a small donation, I greatly appreciate any help that you may be able to contribute
PS before I post my address I want to see if i get any responce to this matter, thanks again everyone

Mike, why is it so expensive? I thought mail going to APO/FPO addresses only cost what it took to get to the stateside address point.

Is the address an APO or FPO? I may be wrong, it's been a few years since I had to worry about those things :-)

its an apo-europe address
these are very large packages, over 20 pounds so the price quotes may be about right

I mailed one to Aaron, last week, and it weighed around 5 lbs.
It's an APO address, and, it cost $9.00 to mail, so, I guess you
could figure the poundage vs. price from there...??

that would be right, these packages I am mailing are 20-25 pounds each, so I guess 47 bucks would be about right
