APO FPO Shipping Price Gouging
I’ve been trying to purchase a copy of Gears of War. In the process, I’ve come across several sites that are not APO FPO friendly. In fact, they charge anywhere from $20 to $40 to ship to an APO box, which is considered by the USPS an address in New York. These companies do not bear any kind of burden in the shipment of this mail and their charges are fraudulent. Every piece of mail that comes to me is transported by air, courtesty of the United States Air Force.
Here is a short list of companies that are price-gouging the troops:

Your absolutely right! Even worse is to go through the whole ordering process to find out at the last click that they don’t even ship to APO and FPO addresses.
After much searching I found a good site to buy cologne. Fragrancestop.com only charges $6.98 to ship to APO and FPOs. Which by the way is the same amount it costs to ship to a regular US address.
I really don’t understand how other companies can charge so much $ for having to go to the Post Office. Yes I know the lines are long, but come on people!
