So in september I ordered a 5 pack of 30 round AK mags from AIM to my APO address. They arrived just fine. so I placed another order with AIM for the same thing last week, only to recieve an email saying that they don't ship to APO addresses. I replied with a copy of my last email invoice from them showing that they just sent some stuff my way, and asked why?

Then I get an email back saying that the ITAR called and told them they can't send to an APO address. Every other company ships stuff to me just fine, do you think they are pulling my leg or should they actually not be mailing stuff here? Kindof scares me with all the other stuff I have ordered.

I'd call them on the phone. While I don't have any major complaints, effective communication with AIM has been a chore on several occasions for me.


Maybe also do a little legal research?

I can just order from other companies. I just was wanting to get 5 mags a month until I can't anymore, they have them the cheapest.
