Thanks so much.  I will place the order tomorrow.

Meant to put this here...sorry about the duplicate.

I just noticed that Kohls is running a pretty good sale on Vellux blanket - twin to king for $10.99 to $13.99, respectively - GREAT PRICE.  The codes listed above are still valid for 15% and free shipping....i.e. with your Kohls charge, you could ship a blanket to a trooper for $9.34!!  Woot!

Anyone in touch with CPT John Jacobs? He's coming up on 50 days. He's chaplain for a large group and I'd like to send to him, but I want things to get there.

You can use Code: MVC8231 for free shipping, no minimum exp 5/16/09 in addition to the 30% off.

I ended up sending pillows to David Byrd at FOB Hammer. Then John Jacobs updated, but he didn't list pillows this time, so all worked out fine. Why do I worry? Things usually work out.

Had trouble with the Kohl;s website. Now I know to put APO in the city box. I think I sent pillows since I ended up doing it on the phone and haven't gotten an email. Maybe when they ship. I got 24 pillows shipped for $83.83 shipped. Sleep well, boys.

$84 for 24 pillows shipped sounds like a great bargain!  Your people will be smiling for a long time over that shipment!

I also sent 10 pillows from Kohls to David Byrd.  I hope they get them.

Hi,

I think I've goofed when recently sent pillows & blankets from Kohls.  Do you mark the items as gifts or just have them shipped to the contact address?  When I purchased the items there was some reason I thought I shouldn't send them as gifts, but now I'm thinking I should have sent them as gifts.  I can't remember why I didn't send them as gifts, but it may have been that I was afraid they would receive 10 or 20 individual boxes.

I have sent pillows 3 different times to David Byrd and each time sent them directly to him, but not as a gift.  I believe they package 4  pillows to the box.  I think all the soldiers in David's group look forward to seeing Kohl's boxes come because they feel they will be one of the lucky ones to receive a pillow.  I am sending 40 pillow cases to him today with promises of more pillow cases being given.  If anyone wants to save their money at this time and not purchase pillow cases, I will post as I send them.  They also could use popcorn for movie night.

 Love our soldiers so much,

Wow!  I have been thru the mill today with Kohls!  First I couldn't order online, so I called the online help desk (very nice) who couldn not help override.  It would not accept APO as the City.  So then I called the Customer Service that was able to override the system by using FPO with the zip and not APO.  I was one happy camper!  Until.....

I then received an order confirmation, quickly followed by an order cancellation.  Darn it!  So I scanned my contact's last letter with envelope, emailed it back to Kohls, explaining that I knew the address was good as he responds to every package.  In the meantime I ordered pillow cases from a different vendor. 

So if anyone is planning to ship from Kohls to FOB Shank, 09364, you may want to wait until Kohl's straightens out the system.  I will say that they have been very professional and gracious.  Hopefully I can tug some heart strings with "no running water, living in tents, no breakfast".

I found a wholesale vendor for pillow cases, www.masterlinenscompany.com.  I bought 2 dozen standard Percayle pillow cases for $14.95 per dozen and shipping to APO is $14.95 for the two dozen.  They normally ship FedEx Ground so you will have to put a note in the comment section that it is an APO shipment and must go USPS.  For the "state" box I checked Non-US. 

Now if I can just get Kohls to ship the pillows I'm in business!   

Kohl's emailed me today.  They situation is fixed and pillows are on their way!   

Tomorrow (May 30, 2009) Kohn's is having an additional 10% off pillows, sheet sets, the big one fleece blankets, the big one bath towels from 7am to 1 pm. These give good prices.

But if I'm reading it right, you can get another 20% off and free shipping if you spend $100.00 or 15% off if you spend less.

buynsave20  or savefifteen are the promo codes.

The Big One pillows are going to be $4.49, sheets as low as $7.19 (!!), fleece blankets $10.99 and towels $2.99. If there's another 20% off, well Yay!!

Who still needs this stuff?

I just sent 15 pillows and 6 blankets to David Byrd from Kohls. It's really quiet at work tonight. So I am shopping for the soldiers. I didn't send any pillowcases, though.

For small orders that don't qualify for the current free shipping offer on the site (any size - you can send one pillow to one guy), I think MVC7077 and MVC6390 will work for charge card purchases. (verified today)

MAYMVC15 is a 15% charge card holder code that is also valid (verified today - believe it's good through 6/10)

For those without Kohls charge, new4579 will give 10% off (verified today)

Don't forget to shop through mypoints, ebates (PM me if you'd like a $5 referral), upromise, etc - every little bit helps!

I think I will send more towels and faceclothes to SGM Kellyanne ONeill.  She is such a sweetheart.

HTH,
