Do custom trading cards ship to Puerto Rico and APO/FPO addresses?

The Snapshot TeamCustom trading card specialistsLast reviewed:

Quick answer

Yes to both. Puerto Rico is its own destination at checkout: it ships on the domestic postal network but is priced live on its own lane, outside the $30 free-standard rule. Military APO, FPO, and DPO addresses are entered like a US address with the AA, AE, or AP state codes, and travel domestically with customs paperwork attached.

Key takeaways

  1. Puerto Rico: choose it as the country at checkout; priced live on its own lane.
  2. APO/FPO/DPO: enter the address with state AA, AE, or AP and the military ZIP.
  3. Both routes are handled without a separate international service.
  4. Estimated arrival windows still show at checkout for these addresses.

Puerto Rico

Select Puerto Rico as the destination at checkout. The parcel is carried as domestic mail, but the rate is quoted live for the island and priced on its own lane, so the $30 free-standard rule does not apply. Checkout shows a standard and an express option with their prices and estimated arrival windows.

You will not see the word international anywhere in that flow, because Puerto Rico is the United States. Only the pricing lane differs.

APO, FPO, and DPO

Military and diplomatic addresses are entered as a US address. Use the unit or box line as the street, APO, FPO, or DPO as the city, AA, AE, or AP as the state, and the military ZIP code. Checkout accepts these codes, and the label carries the customs declaration that military mail requires even though it ships domestically.

What to expect on timing

Both destinations show an estimated arrival window at checkout like any other address. Military mail in particular can spend additional time in the military postal system after the carrier hands it off, so choose a window with room to spare for a date-sensitive gift.

Questions

More questions

Is Puerto Rico treated as international shipping?

No. It ships on the domestic postal network and is never labelled international. It is priced on its own live-rate lane, which is why the $30 free-standard rule does not cover it.

How do I enter an APO or FPO address?

Put the unit or box on the street line, APO, FPO, or DPO in the city field, AA, AE, or AP as the state, and the military ZIP. Checkout accepts these as US addresses.

Is shipping to Puerto Rico free on orders over $30?

No. Puerto Rico is outside the $30 free-standard rule and is quoted live at checkout on its own lane.

Can I send a card to a deployed service member?

Yes. Enter their APO, FPO, or DPO address at checkout. The parcel ships domestically with the required customs form attached to the label.
