I would like to return a favor to a deployed MO who helped me out. Does anyone know if I can ship smokes by way of their Beach Det? I have the Det addy, just not sure if the COD can carry smokes.

TIA

As long as it isn't prohibited items (Porn, Liquor, drugs) almost anything can be sent to the FPO (Fleet Post Office) addy. Is he on a deployed ship? Sometimes care packages take awhile to catch up to ships at sea and you want to make sure they are humidified.

Thanks for the info. He is deployed. I have shipped parts to them by way of the Beach Det and was going to include the smokes as an added "bonus". Just didn't want the brass to get worked up about it.

Thanks again for the help, and your service.

I have received and sent many packages when deployed and to APO addys. If you have to complete a customs declaration, I recommend you put things like toiletries, samples, literature, or snacks in the description block.

They're on a freaking ship!

Just swim out there and hand deliver them!
