How to ship a tuba to overseas Army Base

Post by williamp »

Any suggestions on how to get a tuba to an Army base in S. Korea? My UPS store says that UPS and FedEx are not able to ship to Army Post Offices (at least packages of this size). The dimensions are also too big for USPS regulations. I tried the DHL site online and the site would not accept the APO address. The DHL online bot gave me a toll free number for "Global Solutions" that turned out to be a sex chat line. The woman couldn't solve my issue...
Any other options? The buyer is looking into finding an off base address for shipping.
Thanks
William

If there’s no US Army option, look at art shipping companies. They handle objects that are more fragile and more valuable than a tuba all the time. They know how to ship overseas and deal with customs.

If I was absolutely stuck, with no options, then I'd contact your nation's embassy in South Korea.... you never what advice they may offer?
