Do you ship APO/FPO?
At The Container Store, we are committed to offering excellent products and astonishing customer service.
That's why it's so important to us that your products arrive safely. We have tried unsuccessfully to offer
APO/FPO shipping. The extra handling involved led to an extremely high percentage of lost and damaged items,
which made many customers unhappy and frustrated. This service was not acceptable to our customers,
nor was it acceptable to us. For this reason, we no longer ship to APO and FPO addresses,
but we continue to look for viable alternatives that will allow us to ship items directly to those who are
protecting our country overseas.
If there is another stateside address to which you would like us to ship, please let us know and we will be happy to process your order. We apologize for any inconvenience.
