I'm having real trouble entering my BFPO address for my boots.com order.
Does anyone know if there's a knack to it?
THANKS

i usually just repeat the bfpo xx bit everywhere there's an asterisk.

not used boots though - what on earth are you ordering from boots that you can't buy wherever you're at?!

I live in Cyprus!
everything's a LOT cheaper at Boots, plus I can claim Advantage points to spend when I go to visit the UK, there's a big promotion on right now.
tried the BFPO xx option but it threw a thrombo. Even tried the HA4 postcode but the order got cancelled!
Thanks anyway.

Try BF0 1AA - I seem to remember that working while we were in Germany.

From the FAQs on the Boots UK website:

'Where do you deliver to?

Virtually all addresses within the UK, Northern Ireland and to BFPO addresses.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer delivery to any other country, PO boxes or the Channel Islands.

*Boots.com deliver to British Forces Post Office addresses. The charge for BFPO delivery is £6.00, this includes the cost of delivering your parcel to the BFPO sorting office and the charge applied for delivery to your chosen address. Please note that the facilities at the BFPO are restricted to Service personnel, entitled civilians and their dependents serving in the HQ, its outstations and the local British Embassy.

We can't ship aerosols to BFPO addresses. Aerosols will be intercepted and returned to us.

Please also note that certain areas carry specific weight restrictions and parcels over these weight limits are automatically returned to us. For further information on deliveries to British Forces postal addresses please visit www.bfpo.mod.uk.
