How to place an order for BFPO delivery

How to place an order for BFPO delivery

Yesterday was the UK's second Armed Forces day and the country saw dozens of special events put on to celebrate the magnificent job that service men & women, past & present have done in protecting the UK & it's interests. James went to the Tank Fest event at the Bovington tank museum in the scorching sun and had a whale of a time.

Our troops can find themselves anywhere in the World at a moment’s notice, and as a consequence of the work they do have to remain highly mobile, rarely staying in one place for too long. This becomes a major problem when sending mail to them as you can never be too sure where to address it. Thankfully this is taken care of by the British Forces Post Office (BFPO), which has a long tradition of getting post to the addressee.

But a big problem with using the BFPO is that outside of the military’s extended family few people know how to use the BFPO. Worse still few businesses offer a delivery service via BFPO, which I believe should be part of the UK’s covenant with its Armed Forces.

In that respect Dancemania dancewear is doing its bit by offering a shipping method through the BFPO, and an explanation of how to place an order for BFPO delivery is given in Dancemania’s blog.
