Dania Beach, FL – August 12, 2008 – Annie’s Costumes, the largest independent retailer of Halloween costumes, announced they have ramped up their efforts for sending packages including Halloween costumes the military. AnniesCostumes.com and Extreme Halloween has always done all they can to support our military and in doing so, have become one of few companies that ship to FPO and APO addresses.

When sending packages to the military, they go through USPS Priority Mail and then forwarded on by the military mail system to the location such as APO addresses. Annie’s only controls how fast they are able to get the orders in and out of their warehouse and does their best to expedite these orders. To help show they are time sensitive packages they place ‘Halloween Costumes and Merchandise, Delivery Immediately’ stickers alerting the military that the packages are time sensitive.

“When we see someone is sending packages to the military, our hearts go out to those men and women helping to defend our country and we do all we can do get the package out quickly and in time for them to enjoy the holiday,” said Shari McConahay, Marketing Director of Annie’s Costumes. “Our Halloween costumes selection has something for everyone to dress up and play in a character they always dreamed of for parties or trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.”

If you are sending Halloween costume packages to the military, orders must be placed roughly 15 - 17 days before you want the package to arrive. There are timing issues s it could take time for the military to forward packages once they have been mailed.
