Answer 1

That ought to be just fine. Don't forget to include a copy of, "Obama Nation" That is our number one request right now.  

Answer 2

Please pass this site on.

Answer 3

I am assuming that as this is posted in the UK & Ireland section, you are only interested in the British rules? The BFPO has an excellent website: www.bfpo.org.uk which will give you the informaton you need. You should be okay as the shoebox thing is only a guide, probably to prevent do-gooders clogging up the mail services with enormous packages, so the Families packages can't get through!

Answer 4

U CAN SEND ANYTHING ANY SIZE TO A SOLIDER. NOT ONLY IS THAT SO CONSIDERATE BUT THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US! ANYONE WHO SHOWS THAT THEY CARE, MAKES US FEEL LIKE WE ARE PUTTING A SMILE ON SOMEONES FACE! THANK YOU.

Answer 5

They hae flat rate boxes at the post office.  That is the size I send to my husband and it can weigh a lot and no extra postage.  

Answer 6

Yes, it will be accepted.  The shoebox size is just a suggested size.  As long as you don't exceed the US Postal Service max dimensions, your package will make it.  Are you mailing it yourself, or giving it to a program that sends them?  You can NOT mail to "Any Service Member" any more, you have to mail to a specific person in a specific unit.  Thank you for supporting the troops!
