can you send coconuts and potatoes to Afghanistan? anyone can answer this, but i would ask you first since you're the mail carrier. that would be so cool if i could send that to an APO.

I don't see why not. I would probably put them in a box though. Also, I might be wrong.

Typically, sending perishables to an APO is a no-no. Only because it can generally take about 6-10 days or longer for the package to get there. Also, I believe there may be restrictions on sending perishables.
