Default Frustrated shipping problems

Okay, so I'm stationed in Italy, so I have an FPO address. I have been searching all over the place to get a molded full carpet set for a 91. Hopefully a Poly, but Mass back will be okay. The problem is most places won't send to a FPO address. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can get a set over here?

Dam you J-vette! :P

Now that you have shown me such an easy and convenient way to get parts over here, I have ordered most of the interior parts I need! Good thing? Sure... I spent $1200.

Thanks for the info. This is going to make it a lot easier to fix this car up.

Maybe you can set up a side business shipping Ferrari parts back home!

I hate to say it but you're doing something way, way wrong. How in the world can you be stationed in ITALY with all those beautiful ITALIAN women and still have $1200.00 in your bank account. When I was in it was all about the booze and babes. No wonder our youth is so confused. They don't know how to handle being away from home. But back to the topic.....congrats on your purchase and enjoy the Vette. I wish I was there instead of you. I GUARANTEE I'd be broke but happy. Tehn again I'd probably be riding a bike or a scooter instead of a Vette.

I usually drive my Toyota. It gets better gas mileage :P

I'm trying to learn the language right now. Everything gets easier when you know what the hell everyone is saying. :P

Anyways, thanks again for the help. I'm definitely going to spread this around the command.
