Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.

Stateside Specialized dealer ship to FPO?

So, my local Specialized dealer here in Japan looks to be unable to get me a 143mm Toupe. I'll know for sure on Tuesday if there's a 143mm somewhere on a shelf in Tokyo. Of course, everyone online except Specialized can't sell them online. Not sure if this belongs in this forum or not, but I'm trying to get a relationship with a stateside Specialized dealer that will ship to my FPO address in Japan via USPS priority mail.

Anyway, if the mods need to move this elsewhere, go for it. Wasn't sure where to post this.

Never tried ordering from a dealer, had my mother order from Specialized instead =).

If you can't find a suitable dealer, this site: https://www.shipitapo.com/ might help you. I've never used them, our Postmaster sent this link around recently.

One more thing you may know already. If your cc company has your current address on file, you might run into problem with state not being there. I've used NY instead of AE in such cases, and it worked. Obviously YMMV.
