Thanks for calling that out, Marty --

I do have it on the vendor list, though (yes, I admit, I did double-check) --

I received an email from my sister. She ordered from Hickory Farms and was told that shipping to APO & FPO addresses is free this holiday season.

I bought these socks for my soldier. He did not want wools socks and likes these. They are a bargin and get good ratings. Read the comments about them.

For the guy who's REALLY hard to shop for this Christmas ... Quality has not yet been verified for either product

Brown and Tan Tarps (brown on one side, tan on the other) - call (or negotiate via email) for APO shipping

http://www.tarpsdirect.net/browntan.asp

ACU Pattern Fleece Blankets - both ship direct to APOs <edit> I was a little disappointed with the blankets. Although they are thin enough to roll up and strap to a pack as intended (they were ordered for contact in Iraq), the colors look "bright" next to real ACU Pat

Free shipping on orders over $99 http://www.galaxyarmynavy.com/item-10369.asp

Best price on smaller orders http://www.vtarmynavy.com/acu-digital-camouflage-fleece-blanket.htm

<edit> Update on vendors: I had to ask Galaxy Army Navy about my order before they shipped it (10 days after order placed) but this may have been a problem with PayPal. Vermont/Barre Army Navy shipped in three days (two business days) and I got an unanticipated, unadvertised 15% "category" discount, making it a very sweet deal. I have not seen the blankets yet.

I would add www.bhphotovideo.com

They sell optics, cameras, home theater, speakers, etc. The sell ALL cameras from inexpensive point and shoot digitals to High Definition professional video cameras used by CNN, Fox, etc. For those using film they sell ALL current camera film currently being manufactured. Prices are good and their return policy is excellent. If you have another favorite store B&H is a good price check. I've spend about $6000 over the last 8 years there and have never had an issue with returning stuff (on the one time I did have to return something).

Junkies -- I went through threads and posts on our Forum and gathered online vendors and links into a resource list. Please note that some of these have been used by Junkies and/or suggested by our contacts, while others have not and are on the list as options. Some have great prices, some ship APO/FPO, some don't, some give discounts to military or for quantity, etc. Please check with the individual vendor. Also, I'm sure I've missed some, so please let me know & I will update the list.

I will gladly e-m the list to any Junkie if you would like (it's in Excel) -- just let me know.

Yours in Junkie-dom!
