What a surprise.

Overseas military customers ordering gifts online from certain retailers might get an unpleasant surprise when shipping and handling fees are tacked on at the end of the purchase.

Those same customers might be most surprised to find that retail giant Walmart had the biggest markup.

1. Here's the most telling line from the article

"According to Small, when companies ship to APO addresses in Europe, the order is shipped to New York, after which the Department of Defense picks up the tab to get the package to an APO address."

2. I saw this earlier today

Really sad to see someone charging more to APO, New York than Albany, New York.

It doesn't make sense except for greed and screwing over the troops.
