14. MAILING TO INTERNATIONAL ADDRESSES
Fulfillment does allow you to mail to both international and APO/FPO addresses! To do so, the addresses must be formatted correctly in your data file:
For international addresses:
•The appropriate two-character Country Code needs to be placed in the 'State' field of the data file. See for a full list of two-character Country Codes.
•A value must be placed in the 'Zip' field. If a Postal Code for a particular international address is not available, then just place the two-character Country Code in the 'Zip' field as well.
For APO/FPO addresses:
•Follow the format examples posted here:
•Full name must be included: rank should be included with the first name in the 'First Name' field of the data file.
•Unit information should be entered under the 'Address 1' field.
•The correct designation of APO or FPO should be entered in the 'City' field.
•The correct designation AP or AE or AA should be entered in the 'State' field.

15. UPLOADING YOUR ADDRESS LIST
If you use the provided Excel template, you should see a message that says ‘File uploaded!'

16. USING YOUR OWN TEMPLATE
If you do not use the provided Excel template OR if any of the field names in your Address List do not match those in the Excel template, then the system needs you to indicate what each of your columns represents. After you click 'Upload & Add’, the system will display the first five records of your data at the bottom of the page. Above those five records, in each of the columns, your field names will be displayed in bold. There will also be a dropdown menu in each column. If the system can tell what a particular field is, the dropdown for that field will already be filled in. Otherwise, you’ll need to select a value in the dropdowns – one for each of the required fields:
Fname (represents First Name) Lname (represents Last Name)
Address (represents Address1, the first address line) Address2 (represents Address2, the second address line)
City
State Zip

17. USING YOUR OWN TEMPLATE (CONT.)
The red message above the five records will indicate which required fields you’ll need to identify. Once you’ve selected all of the required fields from the appropriate dropdowns, click 'Finish Data Upload' to complete the upload of your Address List. If there are issues with the way you identified the required fields, you should get a pop-up error message.
HINT: When you review your proof, the system uses the first record in your Address List to populate the mailing address and salutation – 'Dear Name’. You can look at how the Mailing Address (right below the PKP logo) is displayed and should very quickly know if you didn’t identify your fields correctly. If so, just select ‘Back’ and you can 'Upload & Add' the file again and identify the fields correctly.

18. HOW TO PREVIEW THE INVITATION LETTER
Once you have uploaded your Address List and completed all the required fields on the Kit Info page, select ‘Preview’ to view a proof of the invitation. Review the proof carefully. You have three options at this point:
If you see any issues, you can select 'Back’ to make your changes.
If you’d like to save the proof (for example, if you need to have others review the proof before you place your order), select ‘Save Proof'. This will save the proof in the Fulfillment site – where you can then find it under Customized Proofs on the home page. (HINT: While on the Proof page, if you want to save a PDF of the proof on your computer so you can it, click the “disk” icon right above the proof. Click the “printer” icon to print the proof.)
