APO and Warranties

[RingoDot97]

Hi all,
My wife purchased the bundle for me as a Christmas present on release day.
We live overseas and have an APO address that is serviced by the USPS (with a US Zip code I might add :) If and when my guitar breaks, will EA and HMX be able to ship me a replacement using the USPS instead of UPS?

Any info on this?

I'm guessing they'll do that, I can't see why they wouldn't.

Its wierd. Since I moved overseas, Ive discovered that some retailers are absolutely great about shipping to APOs addresses. Others couldnt give a darn and are downright rude about it. The big problem is that it requires the sender to use the USPS. And Since most retailers use FedEx, or UPS, this causes headaches. In the end though, its still a US Address to the Post Office.

When my XBox Red-ringed, I had to go through all sorts of hoops to get M$ to get things straight. That included me having to ship it to them on my own dime :P

is that the same thing as a po box? because i vaguely remember it saying they don't ship to po boxes.

Not exactly. An APO address is how the Armed Forces handles mail overseas. They have a full mailroom behind them. Most PO boxes in the states dont.

I guess Ill just cross the bridge when I come to it :)
