From all accounts,  serving in the middle east is 95% boredom, extreme weather, lack of sleep,  5% hellish explosions of violence.

We should be sending our soldiers as much entertainment as they require to survive!  We may not agree with the chicken hawks who sent them there, but I will always support our volunteers of brave and bold.

AMEN! I have a couple of friends going over there, to all the military men and women God Bless You.

I'm pretty sure that you have to go to the PO for it, I always do. You also have to fill out a customs form for them, you can also add a DC to it too though.

i would send the guy a PM after you match with him explaining why you kept declining his trade request

Thanks. Sounds similar to the procedure for shipping to Canada. Maybe I should open my trading region to prepare myself :)

Isn't that what I said, albeit yours was much more concise and straightforward...

My brother-in-law is in Iraq, and when we send him a package, the post office provides the box free of charge (as an incentive to send care packages), and postage is cheap. Just fyi.

Don't forget to fill out the customs form before you get to the front of the line.  It doesn't cost any extra but they require it for any package that goes to APO addresses.

Goozex really needs to do something about these under 18 members....

That's very prejudice. Sure most kids are idiots and incompetent. Especially the little kid I got matched up with that couldn't play Halo. But, saying that all kids shouldn't use this website is wrong.  If anything I think that having kids mail out games without parents permission should be enforced, it is a rule afterall. But, if a kid has parents permission and is clearly competent at mailing out games, why remove a good user from the system?

Don't mind G-Nitro, he's just not used to dealing with kids in his H world.

You could almost make the same argument about child labor laws, etc.

however, in this instance, it sounds like the kid is doing the responsible thing and asking his parents permission. I don't think this kid is a problem; i find him very mature and smart to both trade old games he plays as well as talking to his parents about situations like this. I do agree though, that some kids don't get permission from their parents and we get situations where the kid is supposed to trade a game and screws it all up or says "sorry my mom won't let me have that game, etc"

The same can be said for the vast majority of "adults"...

I just like saying things to rile people up. ;)  

But I do think the amount of the kids on the site needs to be curbed somehow. No offense to the OP, but when situations come up to where they continuously deny a trade due to parents, it becomes a problem to the site. Or like the other topic in which some had a kid say their parents wouldn't let them play a game and didn't want it sent.  When it becomes constant problems, underage users need to be looked at and some, not all, dealt with accordingly.
