Let's read this again, for content:

On a $120 purchase, Walmart.com charged $10.35 to ship to an APO
address, compared with $2.10 to a stateside address. For most items,
Amazon.com charged the same to ship to an APO address as a stateside
address. And Target offered shipping on a $120 purchase to an APO
address for less than to a stateside address.

$10.00 or $.10 why would you charge people more, just because they
have an APO address?Amazon didn't do it. Target didn't do it. In fact,
I'm not sure that you'd find anybody else doing it. It doesn't cost
any more to ship to an APO than any other address, why would you
charge more? Gouging.... and gouging folks on a fixed income that are
likely a serrated family... already under stress....


Not to defend WalMart, but you guys are debating old, obsolete news,
citing articles written in Dec of 2009.
WalMart claims to have stopped charging extra to ship to APO addresses
in the same month and year.
Note the date of the release:

If Wal-Mart changed is rip-off policies, did it refund the overcharge to
the military families?

What do you care, you have nothing but disdain for the military anyway.
