Dangers of Shipping to PSC Box in the USA???

So I've sold something to someone here on the boards. I dont have much experience with shipping to PO or PSC boxes (never heard of a PSC box), so I figured Id reach out to the forums for a little info...

He is in the Air Forces and has given me a PSC Box to ship the item to:
"PSC 7 BOX 457
APO, AE 09104
United States"

He paid me using Paypal. The payment went through right away and the address is confirmed with Paypal.

I have the item packaged and ready to ship out, just wanted to see if I have anything to worry about shipping it out to a PSC box. I will be shipping it out tomorrow or the next day provided I have nothing to worry about...

I dont doubt the guy at all to be honest, he paid promptly and asked a lot of questions before buying (most scammers are quick to pay and dont ask any), so I dont feel like its a scam at all. You can jsut never be too sure over the internet.

opinions?

Make sure you send it with a tracking number, have records of your receipt etc etc etc.

I have sent a parcel once to Alaska to a APO address, it took a LONG time to arrive, but the buyer was very patient.

i plan on doing that. Im not as worried about the package getting there as I am with potentially getting scammed out of the money that has been paid to me...

it will be sent insured no doubt so if it gets lost/damaged in transit it will be taken care of

how do they usually scam people with a PO box? Is it b/c no one is there to sign for it?

UPS/Fed-Ex etc do not ship to PO Boxes...

Only standard mail services (such as USPS) can be sent to PO Boxes.
