Yes. Aidance Skincare ships to U.S. Armed Services bases but only through USPS. FedEx does not deliver to APO/FPO addresses. Military designated addresses, APO (Army Post Office) and FPO (Fleet Post Office) allow mail to be delivered to overseas military locations. APO addresses are associated with US Army or Air Force installations. FPO addresses are associated with US Navy installations and ships in the United States.

To designate your shipping information as a military address, select "United States" under the Country drop-down menu, then select either "AA" (Armed Forces America), "AE" (Armed Forces Europe), or "AP" (Armed Forces Pacific) from the Choose a State drop-down menu. You must also enter your zip code.

Note: Each country has its own import restrictions. Some items cannot be shipped to APO/FPO addresses. You must be aware of any such restrictions for the region in which you are stationed. We have not had any issues yet with Aidance products.

»  We do not refund FedEx shipping fees for items that are claimed as “not received,” if official FedEx tracking shows that the package was delivered. In these cases, a claim may be filed with FedEx.

Customs offices very rarely refuse our shipments. We do our best to meet general documentation requirements. However, it is possible that certain countries might require additional documentation from you. Such a document is your responsibility. Aidance is not responsible for product being impounded due to customs issues beyond U.S. borders. Customs duties and taxes are the responsibility of the customer. Order refunds, less shipping and handling, will only be given if the product is returned to Aidance Scientific.

For those who have concerns about customs delays in their countries, we recommend choosing the International FedEx delivery option and making sure to provide your telephone number on the Checkout page.

For other customers, you will need to speak to Customer Service over the phone to confirm the authenticity of the change. This is for your protection. If your order has already shipped, the order will need to be returned and then re-shipped.

Unfortunately, if you provided inaccurate shipping information at checkout, and fail to receive the product, we will not provide a free re-ship of your purchase.

On domestic orders, the only identifying information on the outside package is the company name Aidance Scientific on the address label. There are absolutely no markings indicating contents or use. The packing slip inside the box lists only the product name and other order information; never product use.

Due to international regulations, we are required to list all contents and full value of items (regardless of promotion) being mailed/shipped internationally on applicable customs forms.
