FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SENDING COUPONS OVERSEAS

Q: Where do the Military families use expireds? Oversea stores take them?
A: The Commissaries on the US military bases (overseas) accept coupons up to 6 months expired.

Q: How much does it cost to send a regular envelope overseas?
A: As long as you are sending to a APO or FPO military address, then it's the same rate as it would be to mail within the U.S. Also, envelopes going to our Puerto Rico or Guam wives will be the same rate as well.

The only thing different is when it gets to be over a certain weight, you need to fill out a customs form..

I know you said anything you do not use you will share, but, for example, if someone has some good baby q's, I think they'd prefer to send them to whichever one of you has a baby, KWIM? Just a thought, you'd still get lots of things not on your list, but I think it would help.

i don't have a generic list i can post. i volunteer at the library on base and whatever coupons i don't use, i teach a couponing class at the library and share the coupons. i do not like throwing coupons away! the only coupons i can not use are store specific coupons.
many thanks to everyone here at HCW that has sent me coupons. without HCW, i would not have much of an opportunity to enjoy the thrills of couponing as many on this board do - i am very very greatful!

Folks, remember, if you're willing to send coupons to military families overseas, it's pretty much qualifies as a RAOK. Please do not send them COD or without proper postage. It would be better if you didn't send at all than have the other person be surprised on the other end with a big box of coupons that needs postage!

Bumping up

I've done a cleanup of the OP and deleted several of the names on the list who haven't logged onto HCW in awhile so I know haven't been available to return PM's to provide their mailing information.

If you have coupons to send and have been unsuccessful in your past attempts to get a reply from someone to get their mailing address, please try one of the names on the updated list. If you try again and are still unsuccesfull, please do not give up - please fill out our "Request for a Military Family Address" form, and we'll be happy to put you in touch with a military family!!
