What's an APO friendly place to buy electronics?

[b0mbrman]

I'm trying to buy a 2.1 speaker system for my laptop out here and am running into the problem of shipping charges. I bought a set from Office Max to take advantage of the free shipping for orders over $50, but a month later, haven't received the speakers and am now being told through emails that I will have to pay additional shipping...almost as much as the speakers themselves.

I will probably cancel the order.

Anyone have experience with companies getting stuff to APOs for less shipping?

have you tried the online PX ?

When I was overseas I ordered virtually all of my electronics from Newegg without a problem. Amazon is hit or miss since they won't ship some electronics to APO's - but when they do you can usually get the same deal as being in the states (free super saver shipping). I've also bought home theater equipment from B&H Photo without a problem and while the prices are higher than UPS/Fedex, the USPS prices aren't too bad.

Yeah...selection is horribly limited

Newegg won't ship a 2.1 set for anything less than $20...not bad but considering I'm probably going to leave these speakers in a dumpster when I return to the states, it's more than I'd prefer to spend. I will check Amazon and B&H Photo

Newegg won't ship any set for less than $20. Amazon won't ship the few I've tried to APO at all

I will check out B&H

Top. Anyone know?

I'm looking at something like the Logitech Z-230. So far, I have yet to find a place that sells it where shipping would be less than 1/2 of the sale price

The above site is great. I have used to to get stuff shipped from all sorts of companies to APO's FPO's alll over the world.

Cool. Will check that out as well...I've been poking around walmart.com and it seems they're a pretty good apo shipper as well.

Looks like the evil Walmart wins again
