I would just like to give CAL-Mustang a big thumbs down! Just one of the few companies i have found so far that will not ship to an APO address..

See Below....

It's kind of like some places don't accept checks. It's not that they don't want your business, it's that they don't want your check. Shipping to APO's is even more of a gamble to a business than taking checks.

I used to work for a dealership that did internet parts sales, and they quit shipping to APO addresses because they were losing enough money doing it, that it was worth losing the business over. I don't remember the exact details, but it had something to do with nobody being held accountable for the package if it were lost, undeliverable, or "never received" which was common. Then the dealership has to write off the "few G's" and many don't have the resources to keep doing that.

I've personally never ordered from "CAL-Mustang", so I don't know their business practices, but I surely wouldn't hold that policy against them, or try to make them think shipping hotrod parts to an APO is supporting US Troops.

BTW, thank you, and stay safe over there. I have many friends over there and appreciate the job you guys are doing for us.
