A: This is highly dependant on where you are and how reliable the mail is in your location. Assuming that there is available funding for your request, BYOPT will generally be able to get your supplies out in just a couple of days. We have generally seen shipping times in the 10-15 day range, to APO addresses, in the past. If that time table holds true, you should have supplies within 2 to 3 weeks from the time your request is approved.
