Amazon Print Connect, Buy Shipping For APO, HELP!
So I use the Amazon Print Connect for my Zebra printer. Print packing slips on paper, shipping labels on labels. Every time that I have an APO/FPO Order to do, I try to buy shipping directly from Amazon Seller Central. No Problem. However, it NEVER prints the label. EVER!!! I literally have to refund the purchased shipping, go to USPS or Stamps.com, buy shipping, print label and then confirm shipping. If anyone knows a way around this ridiculousness I have to deal with every APO/FPO Order I would really appreciate the help. Thank you to everyone reading and replying.

If it’s a customs form you are talking about, send it to a non label printer. Other apo addresses that look like normal labels have never given me an issue. But I do not use print connect because IT caused issues for my zebra

Amazon shipping does not support shipping to APO/FPO/DPO addresses, nor any other US address that needs a custom form like some of the zip codes beginning with 969.
I’ve filed a couple of support tickets about that. First time, they came back months later and said it was fixed. It wasn’t. Second time, they replied and I haven’t heard anything since.
In my experience, the best place to print labels for that type of address is Pirate Ship.
USPS Click N Ship is an option, but it’s poorly designed and buggy as a Florida swamp. Error reporting is awful. If it doesn’t like something you entered, it generally won’t tell you why. It just won’t work.

We have never been able to purchase APO/FPO shipping through Amazon (as indicated by others). We use Shippo for order fulfillment to consolidate orders from multiple sales outlets (online and brick-and-mortar) for shipping; Shippo not only supports the APO/FPO addresses, but includes an embedded customs-form function to make it all easier. There are multiple levels of Shippo subscriptions; we use the simplest/lowest level and still have great benefits.
