It's not to stop mailing things. It's to stop mailing things to them. That should be a basic right. I want nothing more than to be able to tell my grocery store to stop mailing me anything, and I'm sure most employers don't want their employees having dildos delivered to their work, especially in places where possession of such items is illegal.
If you're engaged in international business you do actually have to respect the laws of the countries you operate in.
I think the problem is that she is not sending it for no reason, they should stop ordering first :P
She could also just deny orders to any APO as a matter of policy.
Why would she want to do that?
And get sued?
For what? Using USPS is not compulsory. Having an APO/FPO is not a protected class. There are already restrictions on what can be sent to an APO (to include things that are illegal in the host country, like Bahrain). And logistics processing outside of your companies "normal" flow is not compulsory just to appease a US grunt.
There are plenty of companies that don't send to APOs and they continue to exist without doing so just fine.
To add to this, lots of companies ship exclusively with UPS and FedEx, neither of which can deliver to APOs.
If she doesnt send stuff, she is leaving herself wide open to law suits.
I mean, if she takes money on an order that won't be fulfilled, yeah. But she can just refuse to accept orders with a mailing address that's an APO without risk.
Yeah im making an assumption.
